Thanks!

Chapter 24:

Great articulation in your narration!
I would ask you to just add about a half second at the beginning of the recording.

Also, for future recordings, please try to leave a tiny pause between sentences and a bit more between paragraphs. Sometimes it just feels a bit cut off and rushed.

This is a pretty long piece to do for your first recording, but I'll save it for you.

Before I can actually assign it, I need to now how you would like to be listed in the LV catalog -- real name, pseudonym, or any nickname you prefer. This is how you will be credited for all of your LV work.

You are free to begin recording.

Hello!

I'd love to read 11 - James Wolfe, if he's still on the table.

Thanks!

Excellent - thanks!

One question: I saw the note not to read the captions on photos / maps, but wasn't sure how to classify the text "THE DEATH OF WOLFE" below the image on Page 142. Are we calling this a caption, or is it more of a section title? Would you like it included in the recording, or should I give it a skip?

Section 5 PL notes:

At 7:38 there is a slight stumble
At 8:07, I heard Accomac country should be Accomac county
At 9:31 I heard when he soon afterward should be where he soon afterward

Overall, a very nice reading!

Very spirited reading Hannah
I would again ask you to just slow down a bit, which would greatly help with articulation.

Some issues that need addressing:
At 21 seconds "in 1676" is missing
1:42 I heard "that Spen strove" should be "that Spain strove"
2:10 there is a squeaky sound
2:58 I heard "too stubborn" should be "so stubborn"
4:44 steamed toward should be steamed forward
5:23 heard a shell should be "hurled a shell"
10:59 hanging on their hands should be hanging on with their hands
13:35 with ill-conceited delight should be ill-concealed delight

At the end, please cut silence to 5 seconds instead of 8
