[Here is number 2 of story 7 the Good Bargain with the time changed to 10:08
https://librivox.org/uploads/aradlaw/householdtales_007_grimm_128kb.mp3 10:08

so I finally got around to listening to the entire story. A bit of a doubtful moral at the end I find, whoever tricks best is the winner.

But you narrated it nicely and fluently, so no complaints there. Only one small note:

> at 1:37: "He still waited a long while until evening came on" - you forgot to cut out "time" here, as I mentioned already before. Maybe it's easier to cut out the word "while", and since "a long while" and "a long time" are basically the same, we can perfectly admit that text.

> oh also something: the volume is slightly under our minimal limit of 86 dB. (yours is 85.9) Could you maybe amplify it at least a bit, by 2 dB, for example ? Then simply re-upload with the same file-name and you're good to go.

The rest is flawless Thanks, looking forward to the next story

here is #2 of 007 The Good Bargain with "time" deleted and I tried to increase volume and now it is probably too loud.

Yes the 10:08 is correct and I will change and resend.

oh you did not have to resend it though. The upload passed correctly, as I had the correct minutes at my end.

By the way: Story 3 Our Lady Child is very much about the voice of the Virgin Mary and the little girl and queen so maybe it should have a female voice. Your choice I am OK either way But a female voice might sound better.

it's as you wish, if you want to read it, go ahead. I think in storytelling gender doesn't matter. There are loads of female voices to impersonate all the diverse kings, ogres and brothers, so why shouldn't our male readers have a bit of fun with princesses, witches or, in your case, the Virgin Mary.

hey, Chelsea, finally listened to your first contribution. You have such a sweet voice really fitting for the story of Briar-Rose Also your narration is flawless and easy to listen to. Couldn't find any textual faults, beautifully read.

Now I feel a bit bad for telling you about 3 little things to amend before this is all good. They have nothing to do with your reading though, this is perfect:

> at 0:24: for the standardized intro, you don't have to repeat "Story Number 50" after the disclaimer, but only say the title

> at 7:51: likewise at the end, you don't need to repeat the title, so you could cut out "Briar Rose" here.

> you have a bit over 6 seconds of silence at the end, could you cut those down to the standardized 5 seconds please ?

then simply re-upload with the same filename, and it's all good

thanks
Sonia

And a separate welcome post for our new member Hello Kirk and thanks for deciding on a fairy tale for your very first contribution. I see your one-minute-test has been going well already, so you are ready to roll.

Here is your Reader Page, where you can see all your projects and keep track of which sections you are assigned to: https://librivox.org/reader/11726

I'll assign you Story 32 If you still have questions, don't hesitate to ask.

ok starting slowly now working my way through the backlog

let's start with the easy Spot PL ones, before I listen to the new ones:

here is #2 of 007 The Good Bargain with "time" deleted and I tried to increase volume and now it is probably too loud.
https://librivox.org/uploads/aradlaw/householdtales_007_grimm_128kb.mp3 10:08

no, now it's exactly 86.1 dB, which is just inside the accepted volume range. Also nicely edited ! Really well done. PL ok now.

Here is #2 of 003 Our Lady's Child with the second "it" removed.
https://librivox.org/uploads/aradlaw/householdtales_003_grimm_128kb.mp3 12:40

PL ok as well !

Thanks a lot !
