"Slaves as they are, on Testimony of Owners"

Hi there, GFulczyk, and welcome to the Keys project. I see you're brand new here, and have received an OK on your 1 minute test (which by the way is no longer in our system). I didn't see an introductory letter where I might get some info on your experience level with recording and editing audio, so I feel a responsibility to warn you that a 7700 word file is a HUGE undertaking for even an experienced reader. If you are not very familiar with recording/editing audio, then my recommendation is you first head over to Readers Wanted and find some other projects that offer shorter files (under 2000 words), where you can get in some practice and quick satisfaction!!!!! Those PL OK's are nice ego-boosters. I'll hold Section 41 for you meantime, and hope to hear back from you soon on your status.

Our Poetry Weekly and Fortnightly projects are always a good place to familiarize yourself with the process of reading the First Post and following all the directions there for naming and uploading your files, what to say for your Intro and Outro, what text to read, etc. Here's the current one:
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=71360&p=1496646#p1496646

Look forward to working with you.

ok here is revised section 4
i used the truncate silence on the whole file just to make all the pauses a little shorter.
then i went through and cut out alot of silence space that were to long or shouldnt have been there at all.
I have a bad habit of pausing where there is no puncuation marks in the text.
Anyway the new file has about 3 minutes less silence than the old

thanks

Thank you, Bill. Sections 28 and 29 are PL OK.

Very interesting comments on despotism. So much to think about.

May I claim section 44? I might also want to do section 45 if 44 goes well.

Okay, i'll put your claim in for 44, and you have 2 months to complete it. 5000 words is kind of long for a newbie. We usually recommend you practice with shorter pieces (see a few posts up), but let's see how it goes.

I would appreciate being given the opportunity to take care of sections 37 and 38.

If I don't get them, I'll slap myself in the face with a wet squirrel.

msfry · Post by **msfry** » August 20th, 2018, 7:48 pm

By all means, let me assign 37 and 38 to you! And right this minute.

Just checking in to let you know I have my two long sections recorded and ready to edit, so shouldn't be too much longer.

Thank you Larry and Bill. No rush. There are still many sections to be claimed or completed.

PL Notes Section 20

8:20 repeat "now suppose"
9:15 legislative alter, I hear act. Not sure anyone would notice this so your choice to correct.

All else beautifully crisp and clear!
