Ok I'm going to explain my reasoning on this. I have seen both the longer one and the shorter one on poetry projects, so I decided to go with whatever the project generator generated (which was the longer abbreviation). When the shorter abbreviation was mentioned, I believed it meant the one that is for the second recordings and all subsequent ones, as the original post just had the very long one in there. I can see your point about the poetry disclaimer being cleaner, however sections have already been recorded with the longer intro so I would prefer to leave it that way. In addition, many poems have an introduction into them so they are not merely poetry. Let me know if you have any questions about this!Lmnei wrote: ↑February 21st, 2019, 2:38 pm Hi Campbell -
You mentioned you entered the poem intro into the first post however I do not see it - the book intro/out for a soloist are still there.
The Intro/out for a poem is the following -
"[Poem title], by [author], read for LibriVox.org" by [your name] or some variation on that, adding date, location, your personal URL, etc., if you wish.
Read the poem.
At the end, say: "End of poem. This recording is in the public domain." and leave five seconds of silence.
Which one do you want us to use - the long one (using the 2nd option) or the one above which is much cleaner?
Regards -
Lynda
Great! Will take a listen later tonight!jfgallagher wrote: ↑February 21st, 2019, 3:44 pm Greetings!
Here is my recording of Section 006, "A dialogue betwix an exciseman and death":

recording time 06:47
Please let me know if it needs any additional work. Thanks!

Correct. I believe the author name should be removed from the intro, if not I will do so. You may find that the author is listed in the introduction to your poem though (still no need to put it in the disclaimer). Can't wait to listen
Sounded great! Loved your different voices.jfgallagher wrote: ↑February 21st, 2019, 3:44 pm Greetings!

I am new to this. I think my test was okay, haven't heard anything to the contrary (I did test it with Checker.)
Just to start, I'd like to do Section 9. I'll record it, send it in,then, if it suits you, there are others I'd like to do.
I assume you want the introductory notes read, also.
My name is Stephen Harvey.
Cheers.
!I would also love to hear your opinion, Larry, on this since I am not too familiar with this either.Lmnei wrote: ↑February 24th, 2019, 2:53 pm I have run into something recording these poems that I have not before at the end of a verse - the &c. Here is one verse from one poem however they occur at the end of the verses in A Begging We Will Go and A Jockey to the Fair. I have them recorded as "etc." is that correct? Such as below as And a begging, etc.
.
I think this is to save on ink, really. It's a shorthand to show that you'll follow the pattern set by previous stanzas. For instance:Looking at the first stanza, it ends with "And a begging we will go, we’ll go, we’ll go; And a begging we will go!"There was a jovial beggar,
He had a wooden leg,
Lame from his cradle,
And forced for to beg.
And a begging we will go, we’ll go, we’ll go;
And a begging we will go!
A bag for his oatmeal,
Another for his salt;
And a pair of crutches,
To show that he can halt.
And a begging, &c.
These stanzas each repeat the last two lines, they just weren't printed in their entirety. I think it should sound like:’Twas on the morn of sweet May-day,
When nature painted all things gay,
Taught birds to sing, and lambs to play,
And gild the meadows fair;
Young Jockey, early in the dawn,
Arose and tripped it o’er the lawn;
His Sunday clothes the youth put on,
For Jenny had vowed away to run
With Jockey to the fair;
For Jenny had vowed, &c.
The cheerful parish bells had rung,
With eager steps he trudged along,
While flowery garlands round him hung,
Which shepherds use to wear;
He tapped the window; ‘Haste, my dear!’
Jenny impatient cried, ‘Who’s there?’
‘’Tis I, my love, and no one near;
Step gently down, you’ve nought to fear,
With Jockey to the fair.’
Step gently down, &c.
andFor Jenny had vowed away to run
With Jockey to the fair;
For Jenny had vowed away to run
With Jockey to the fair.
That's likely how it was sung, and would be more fun to listen to than saying "et cetera," in my opinion.Step gently down, you’ve nought to fear,
With Jockey to the fair.’
Step gently down, you’ve nought to fear,
With Jockey to the fair.’
Well, the more the merrier! You managed to come up with a good answer anywaysmightyfelix wrote: ↑February 24th, 2019, 4:22 pm You didn't ask my opinion, of course, but here it is anyway.
. I agree with your theory, especially since these are songs (I originally was looking at them as poetry, which would be very different in my view 
). So Lynda, I think it would be great if you could change it to Devorah's method, unless someone comes along and says it should be done differently. If you are set with leaving it as "etc." I think that would be fine too, but Devorah's method does seem more fun to listen to .
