Hi again!

Could I please have sections 10, 11, and 12? The Lone Soul, The Banshee, and All Soul's Night?

Thank you!

Section 13 is PL OK! It was quite the sad poem.

Aja, Sections 11 and 12 are wonderfully read and PL OK! I loved the way you read it with an Irish accent.

However, Checker tells me that your section 10's volume is too high at 94 db. You can use the amplification tool to reduce the volume by -5 to come down to the ideal 89db.
And you have to change this track from stereo to mono.
Also, can you do a pass of noise reduction in this track as I explained in the forum of Sixteen Poems of W. Allingham?
Thanks

Here is the story of False Deabhorgil, which reminded me extremely of the Greek story of how the Trojan War came about. There's always a face that can launch a thousand ships....

As discussed, I left out the side-notes, as they are only a summary of the stanzas. But the footnote I included as I felt it added background info.

Recording time: 6:31 min.

Having done some rather long ones lately, I can treat myself to a shorter poem again. Can I have A Fairy Prince

Hi, Carolin! Thank you, here I am trying again with #10. Checker gives it a volume pass and it's (supposedly) in mono so should be good!

rizzin wrote:anushar04, huge thanks for the compliment Is there anything in my pronunciation that I could improve?

I speak Indian English, so I am no authority on pronunciation. I find your accent charming. However there definitely isn't anything which can be misunderstood, so there's no problem there

Phew, Section 31 did sound like a difficult one! But it was very well read, and PL OK!
