Section #7 Clara Jones is ready for review. Thanks.

Well read. It is interesting how so many of these people mentioned their pension at the end of the interview.

The only thing that needs to be fixed is to lengthen the silence by about 0,5 seconds at the start. It needs to be 0,5 seconds at a minimum and 1.0 seconds as the maximum.

Thanks,

Here's the recording of Section 03 with the edits. Thanks!

Section 03 Isaac Johnson-(9:22)

Section 3 is now PL OK.

Section 4 just needs about 3 seconds of silence removed from the end.

Section 5 needs about 1 second of silence removed at the start and a little over 2 sec at the end.
The volume also needs to be increased about 3 dB, but at least 1 at a minimum.

The filenames of sections 4 and 5 also need a "0" added as part of the section number.

The quality of the recordings was excellent. You do a really good job, especially with the elderly men.

Thanks,

M

I think you still have two previously claimed sections to send in, but I'm glad to give you these additional ones. It is a large project, and I'm grateful for all of your contributions! Thank you.

Revised file has been uploaded. These are very interesting stories and when I hear what they need at the end of them, it just makes me wish I could reach into the past and help them out.

What breaks my heart is hearing them tell about families being sold apart from each other. No matter how good some of the "massas" were, these people were still slaves and unable to determine their own destiny. It makes me wish I could go back and whip the slave owners.


Anyway, this section is now PL OK.

Thanks,

I see you've passed your test recording. :thumbs:
I'll be glad to assign this section to you. Please read all of the special instructions for this project, and let me know if you have any questions.

Also, please let me know how you would like to be listed in the LibriVox catalog -- real name, pseudonym or any nickname you wish. This is how you will be credited for all of your LV work.

Thanks for your interest!

Submitting section 23 for review:
https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/slavenarrativesvol11pt2_23_various_128kb.mp3

please use my username (helmholtz) to list in the LV catalog.

This is my first narrative submission - apologies in advance if I missed any instructions!
You did a really nice job with your reading of the section 23. :)

My comments have mostly to do with other issues - but all can be easily addressed.

Please remove about 0.5 seconds of silence at start
At 0:26 Anna Mitchell is repeated, please delete
Please add a little over 1 second of silence at end
Since you are editing the file, I recommend the use of noise reduction as there is a high level of background noise in this file.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

M

Here is the updated file after making the requested changes: https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/slavenarrativesvol11pt2_23_various_128kb.mp3
