well judging from the last chapter you just read to me, I think it's got something to do with her female attractions
(yes, it's definitely one of those books
) I'm curious which of the three guys she will hook up with in the end. Maybe none of them
Well, it was fun listening to your two chapters, even though I missed so much in-between. Curious to fill in the gaps later on LOL
and I simply LOVE the authoritative tone you gave Dolores ! You have pirate queen material. You sound great in the dialogues. Also the ruffian voices of the crew are well chosen.
I do have some PL notes though. Some general ones and since you already told me I could go ahead and correct some of your pronunciation errors, I will mention four words that in my opinion make it hard to understand the meaning.
for Section 8:
>
at 0:18: “The Pirate Woman, by Aylward
Edward Dingle” – you omitted “Edward”
>
at 0:25-0:29: I feel that 4 full seconds are
too long to start the chapter. I was starting to think sth was wrong with the recording. I think one or two at the most are perfectly enough
>
at 2:43: “Then fell a hush full of
anxiety or terror” – “anxiety” is pronouced: eng-KSY-e-tee, stress on “ksy”
> then there's the word "
schooner" which unfortunately shows up at multiple occasions. This should sound like “
skoo-ner”, with an “oo” like in “too”. You can find it here:
> at 4:12: “on the schooner”
> at 9:55: “the beautiful schooner”
> at 10:10: “the rape and pillage of the schooner”
> at 11:01: “pointing to the schooner”
> at 11:32: “in that schooner are wines”
>
at the end: more than 7 seconds silence; can be cut down to
standard 5
for Section 20:
>
at 0:16: same here, in the intro “The Pirate Woman, by Aylward
Edward Dingle”, you forgot “Edward”
>
at 2:22: “put their
foes to flight” – “foes” rhymes with “shows”
>
at 3:25: “like a
sword-thrust” – no ‘w’ spoken in “sword” – just “sord”
>
at 11:00: “of the white
schooner” - the schooner strikes again
That's all.
If it wasn't for the schooner, it would not have been too much to correct, I'm sorry
why did they have to attack a schooner an not simply a "ship"
