I read the article & will keep those items in mind. I heard the 1st plosive, but not the 2nd. I'll be sure to pay attention to those in future readings. Thanks.JorWat wrote:Hi Vicki,vpelton wrote:Could you make some suggestions for improving my reading?
There's a page on the Wiki all about how to improve recording.
However, most of the things listed are not a problem in your recording. I suppose there is a bit of a plosive problem at times. Listen to the 'th' of 'thirteenth' at 0:06 or the 'p' of 'public' at 0:13.
Yes, the section title is the same as the story title.vpelton wrote:Is the "section title" for Section 7 the same as the story title, i.e., How mother robin called a new mate.
I think there might be an error in the text. If that happens, do you correct it or read it as printed?
In this case, it's the end of the 3rd paragraph from the end. It states, "… as kind and attentive to Mrs. Robin as had been poor old club-footed Mr". I think the end should be "Mr. Robin", as opposed to just "Mr.", since in the other parts of the story, it says "Mr. Robin".
I'd treat How Mother Robin Called a New Mate like a chapter name. As such, I don't believe you need to read it twice. But I'd leave in the 'by E. Jay Edwards'.vpelton wrote:I recorded the preamble as specified, which includes the story title. Then I read the story, which also has the title. But then realized the story title was said twice. Is that right? Or, do I say it just once. Here is how I recorded it. Let me know if I should remove one instance of the title.

Harper's Young People, Vol. 01, Issue 11, Jan. 13, 1880. How mother robin called a new mate.
How mother robin called a new mate, by E. Jay Edwards. A friend of mine has a robin's nest …
Flower-Pots for Rooms & The Advantages of Foreign Tongues are part of Section 9 (and in fact have already been read...)vpelton wrote:May I read section 8, Charley Bennet's Ghost Story & The House that Bell Built?
For the preamble, since there are 2 stories, I assume I do not say a "section title". Is that right?
Does that also include the 2 items that follow it, Flower-Pots for Rooms & The Advantages of Foreign Tongues?
For " MRS. MARGARET EYTINGE ", I'm going to pronounce the last name as eye-tinge. Is that right?
Ok. But may I read section 8?JorWat wrote:Flower-Pots for Rooms & The Advantages of Foreign Tongues are part of Section 9 (and in fact have already been read...)vpelton wrote:May I read section 8, Charley Bennet's Ghost Story & The House that Bell Built?

And as long as you're consistent, and it's logical, it doesn't really matter how you pronounce names.
Thank you for section 7, I'll put it in the MW after I write this note. Yes, you may read Section 8 which, as Jordan mentioned, does not include the Flower-Pots for Rooms and The Advantages of Foreign Tongues. As Jordan also mentioned, it's fine to read the name how you'd like.vpelton wrote:May I read section 8, Charley Bennet's Ghost Story & The House that Bell Built?
