Phuein, I listened to the poem.

I think 1: 18 should read ˈiːən, I hear ˈiːn.

If you decide to record it again, I think 2:20 should also correctly read sʌɪˈdɪərɪəl, that's why I mention it

I hear sʌɪˈd-rɪəl (and because I did hear folks pronouncing it that way too sometimes, I wouldn't necessarily consider it a flaw, but I guess librivox listeners deserve better and surely would be easier to grasp by non natives).

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. I'll reread it.

It's nice to get detailed feedback, for a change. This will help me improve both my narration and accent skills.

Hello, and welcome to Librivox, Jamie! I have noticed you haven't recorded your one minute test. Please note that one must have a one minute recording established before you can apply to projects.

Look into it here! http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/1-Minute_Test

I'll be happy to reserve them for you once you have your test under your belt! Once you are PL-OK-ed, post back here with a link to your post.

Phuein's corrections are up, thank you.
