Section 9 has been put back into the pool for anyone to claim. This is the last available chapter!

Chapter 8 is PL OK. Thanks Sarah.

Here are a couple notes for you:
The silence at the end is only 4.5 seconds; it should be 5 or a tiny bit more. I'm counting this as close enough. There is also a small bump right at the end of the recording, probably from when you moved to click 'stop'. In the future if you can wait 6 or 7 seconds after your final word before stopping the record and then trim the silence down to 5 seconds that would be great.
Checker reports your overall volume as 87.2 dB, safely in LibriVox's acceptable range. In future recordings you could boost the volume 1.5 to 2 dB if you wish.
At around 3:19 I heard you say "tasted it" rather than "it tasted" -- not a big deal.

If I'm reading past posts correctly this is your first completed chapter. Yay - and keep on reading!

Oops - I almost forgot to update the Magic Window with Chapter 8's completion. That's done now.

Thank you for the feedback!! The notes are very helpful.
I look forward to recording more in the future.

I see this story only has 1 chapter left. Do you guys mind if I wrap that up? I can get it back in maybe 2 days.

Chapter 9 - Sharp Eyes in the Zoo - is PL OK. Word-for-word perfect, in fact. Thank you TheIntern356.

All 12 chapters are complete. Thanks to adrianstephens, janand, SarahC, tcjsavannah as well as TheIntern356 for their chapters. Take it away Phil!
