HI i would like to request recording # 34 & 35

Here are my notes for sections 34 and 35.

34:
cut about one second of silence at the start so there is between 0.5 and 1 second of silence.
at about 0:16, I hear "football" instead of "footfall "in "Where never footfall rankles,"
add about 3 seconds of silence to the end so that there are about 5 seconds of silence total

35:
delete about 0.5 seconds at start so there is between 0.5 and 1 second total
add about 3 seconds of silence to end so that there are about 5 seconds of silence total

You have done a nice job with the reading.

The following is a suggestion. There is a fairly constant level of background noise in both recordings. While the level is not too high I would recommend noise reduction on both files just to get them a little cleaner sounding.

Please let me know if you have any questions.




Thanks,

M

Oh okay, I will work on that right away! Thank you

Okay I hope that's better now. I re-recorded #34 and used noise reduction tool. I did use Checker and they both got a PASS.

Okay I hope that's better now. I re-recorded #34 and used noise reduction tool. I did use Checker and they both got a PASS.

Checker told me the volume on 34 was too low. I just went ahead and increased it to get it to the minimum.

Both sections are PL OK.

I like 73, 74 and 86 if I may.

I like 73, 74 and 86 if I may.

You certainly may have those three poems.

Thank you,

You mentioned, "If you would like to DPL, or even to just take a couple to see if you like it, let us know." Yes. I think I would like to take a couple (not my own of course), and try.

The only ones available now are 11, 12, and 13. Why don't you PL those and provide feedback to the reader. Her poems are quite entertaining to listen to and it is fun to hear how different readers interpret the poems.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

M

Excellent reading. I could really picture the person in the poem. All three are PL OK.

Thanks,
