PL ok. Good job !

And merry Christmas to you both too.

Thanks!

as far as reading goes, excellent job once again !!!

but (now comes the but): Section 5 is way over the limit with 98.7 dB

When I opened it in Audacity it was a sea of red warnings. So to listen to it without scaring the bunny, I had to reduce volume by 10 dB. The result was extreme clipping and the sound is quite a bit distorted. You hear some rasping in most of the words.

Well you have to reduce volume, but listen to it yourself and judge whether you'd rather re-record the entire poem. I leave it up to you. Luckily it was a short one. I don't know what happened that this one turned out so loud

Section 7 is PL ok.

One small textual note for Section 8:

> at 2:42: (p. 18) Speak once unto me ! - you forgot "once" not sure how word perfect you want it. Just let me know, apart from that it's also PL ok. I extremely liked the atmosphere of that last poem.

Thanks S!

No idea what happened to 5 .. I just checked my file and it sounds fine and is at 87.9 ... maybe I uploaded the raw file instead of the edited file? .... will reupload!

Will fix section 8 also ... can't leave that out ... not even once!

I don't understand how you could reduce the volume and avoid the extreme clipping, the way I had it when I tried.

Well, both sections are PL ok now

Thanks S.!

He writes so beautifully - you can really feel his emotions so strongly in these, can't you?

A tiny handful more, Sonia --

Yeah, on 32, that "thy" is actually corrected and I know it's still fuzzy, but that seems to be the case, I'm a little bad at "f"s and "th"s it appears.

I have to reread them over and over ... anyway, here are the new ones!

Thanks!

thank you Eva and Nemo, 6,13,17,22 and 32 can be marked PL ok.

I especially loved the one with the zephyr

And the duet about the mother in the mirror is very well acted out too. It's great that you place some DRs in between.

Only one note for 44: I hear a constant clicking sound, as if you were snapping your fingers to a beat throughout the poem. Or like a metronome. Was this intentional to give the poem a certain beat ?

Yep, that's snapping my fingers you hear.
