Thank you! The recording is PL OK.

Next time, please use the naming scheme outlined in the first post:
seastory_hickey_your initials in lowercase_128kb.mp3 (e.g. seastory_hickey_klh_128kb.mp3)

It keeps the uploader folder organized, and makes the cataloging much easier!

EDIT: Oh! I see you're not in the catalog yet! How would you like to be credited in the catalog? There are places for a catalog name (some use a nickname or forum name, some their real name) and a link to a personal web site or blog, if you have one. I recommend using whatever name you say (if any) when you say, "recorded by [your name]" as that's how listeners will look for you. (Keep in mind that prospective employers, classmates, enemies, etc. can also find you using the catalog name, so be cautious if privacy might be an issue.)

Thanks! PL OK.

For future recordings, I'd suggest using some noise reduction. The end silence was silent, but there is white noise in the recording itself. It's not terrible, but the recording would be that much better with some of the white noise taken out. :)

On the weekly and fortnightly poems, you don't have to make a request. You can just do it. :) Follow the instructions in the first post for naming your file, and you'll be all set.

Added - thanks!

Nicely read. Two minor PL notes:

- About 3 seconds of silence at the start; please cut this down to between 0.5-1 second.

- About 7 seconds at the end; while you're in the file, please cut it down to 5 seconds. :)
