Greetings -

Section 3 has some audio problems that, hopefully, those more versed in such matters than I can help correct. The sound is hollow and mechanical.

This is not a problem, unless it makes the words difficult to understand. If this is the only issue, and you had no trouble understanding the recording, then it should be marked PL ok.

From the very short sample I listened to, it sounds to me like the sound quality is caused by a cheaper microphone. And that's ok. There's never been a requirement that volunteers buy expensive equipment.

Sections 1 and 2 were well-read and would easily be PL OK if they didn't need one bit of attention. They need five seconds of silence at the end of the recording.

Otherwise, definitely PL OK.

Thanks for doing what I needed you to do. :-) Needed to have powers that be greater than me make the determination.

Having the same experience as the previous Banks book. Getting caught up in the message instead of PL ing.

Welcome to the sometimes wacky world of LibriVox. A standard warning is that LibriVox can easily become an obsession or addiction. :-)

You have a strong and precise voice that is good for reading. Good timing and inflection. We hope to hear many more offerings from you.

There are two things that need your attention with Section 3:

The opening silence is twice as long as it should be, so cut off about one second and it will be fine.

Around 23-27 seconds into the recording, a quiet "clicking" noise is heard in the background. It should be easy to filter out.

Otherwise, it is PL OK.
