Thank you, Alan and Peter!

Peter, I think the last stanza in "The Call" is missing.

The rest of the recordings are PL OK!

Update - yes, in fact my printout of the poem missed out the final verse! I will record it and edit and upload it today, with the new URL and duration. Sorry about that.

New URL with final verse

NEW Duration: 2:02

The Call by Rupert Brooke (1887-1915)

Source: https://theotherpages.org/poems/books/brooke/brooke01.html

At last I've hopefully made it!

Peter

PS I do not understand as I've uploaded twice the new file which is with the extra verse, but when I listen on the link above I still get the old version?

Your computer probably brings up the saved (cached) version of the original upload. A "clear cache" should fix this, I think.

It's PL OK

oh I just realized when I named my mp3 I copied the formatting so forgot to put in my own initials and take out apc. Hope that's not a problem.

Thank you, Leni!

There is one pause between stanzas that is longer than the rest, around 28:47. I'm OK with it, but I'm mentioning it in case you'd like to shorten it. It's PL OK either way.

Welcome to the Poetry Collection and thank you for offering your recording! It is PL OK! Don't worry about the filename, I can fix it. Shall I change the initials to ml (from Moon Lylith) or would you like something else?

Hi Maria!

The recording is clear of background noise now

But the bit rate is still variable.

If you're using Audacity, you can set this when exporting as mp3. Check the Format Options (in the Export window) and choose "Constant" for Bit Rate Mode, and "128 kbps" for Quality. Or are you using a different software?
