PL note section 36:

I think it's fun what you did with overlaying your voice as a "group" voice at 2:27--but it's significantly louder than the rest of the recording and it blew up my ears a little

Could you de-amplify just that sentence by a decent amount so it lines up more with the volume right before/after it?

Haha, sorry. That's what I get for editing without headphones. xD

I don't know if anyone will be able to empathize, but I'd like to take something, but in every section I come across names that I don't know how I should pronounce. In section 8 it's "Nacien"... And in section 61 - well, my preference would be to pronounce all names the way they are in original Spanish, and I'm not sure that's okay. I won't even say anything about section 44...

God, I probably already sound like a crazy person. I mean, I could go look for a different project that wouldn't trigger my OCD, but I think sooner or later I should pose the question, otherwise I'm never going to record anything.

...Oh, I suppose, the question itself would be "what do you do with weird and foreign names?"

Also how do you pick the section(s) to do? I'm torn between the Arthurian cycle and Don Quixote...

Well, for pronouncing names, I think as "authentic as possible" is always a good way to start--so in this case, taking the Spanish pronunciation would be excellent! In some cases a google search of how to pronounce the name would also work.
I don't speak Spanish, so I wouldn't be able to correct you on pronunciation; but what I find important is that 1) it's related to what's written on the page (Don't go pronouncing "Bob" as "John"

), 2) you pronounce the same name consistently throughout your story. That's personally what I go for, and I think that's acceptable in almost all projects here at LV.

Also how do you pick the section(s) to do? I'm torn between the Arthurian cycle and Don Quixote...

Entirely up to you! You could also pick a short section of both, and see which you enjoy more--and then come back to claim more! For me, it often depends on how much I intend to read for a project. I often like to have subsequent sections, but to each their own.

Let me know if I can sign you up for anything. You're very welcome to take any of the open sections you wish.

Here is the link to section 38: https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/juniorclassicsvol4_38_patten_128kb.mp3 Length: 16:12

Thanks for your response, Foon.

Can I then get just section 8? I think I've pretty much come to terms with that one name, and I'd feel bad about wasting that valuable knowledge

... But, well, you know, if I take anything more, I think I'll be too anxious about taking too long or failing in some other way. That's just the way I am.

Alright, section 8 is all yours. You're gonna do great, I'm sure.

Robin, section 38 is PL OK!

OK, here's my first official recording. Some of the names were tough but I did some research and I think I got them correct. Let me know what you think.
