Never one to resist a compliment

may I claim
Section 9 - Chapter IX. A Packet of Cigarettes
and
Section 11 - Chapter XI. The Drug Syndicate
?

(alas, I can't "do" an Irish accent, so that leaves several of the chapters out.

)

Thanks, I'll put you in for these.

Question on pronunciation:

name of character:
Margaret Halley

is it HAAH-lee, (like "alley" with an H)
or HAWL-ee (like "haul" with "ee" at the end)
?

Thanks!

Owlivia/Deborah

I don't know.

You're the first to ask or record (as far as I know), so... your choice? If I had to choose, I'd say the first option (Alley with an H).

I would like to read section 3

Post by **TriciaG** » August 19th, 2020, 2:32 pm

Welcome! I'll pencil you in for that section.

I see that you received instruction on the 1-minute test, and a request for the catalog name. I'll wait to officially put you in this window until you answer that post, so we're not duplicating effort.

Hi Tricia -

Here's section 1 -

https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/dope_01_rohmer_128kb.mp3
Track length: 10:18

I'm afraid my voice for Ms. Halley sounds like someone strangling a goat, but there it is.

Thanks! I'm knee-deep in an error report, which uncovered major issues in a project. I'll PL this tomorrow, if/when I can.

Hi Tricia,

Here is my go at Section 2: https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/dope_2_rohmer_128kb.mp3
Duration: 10m16s

Thanks!

Post by **TriciaG** » August 23rd, 2020, 3:40 pm

Thank you! PL may not be until tomorrow.

Since I had two in a row to PL here, I did it tonight.

Chapter 1 - PL OK!

Chapter 2:
5:02-5:09 - noticeable drop in volume
8:55-8:58 - noticeable drop in volume
(You said it was 10:16, but I show it as only 10:09. It didn't sound like anything was missing, though.)

Thanks for the quick feedback, Tricia! I've tried to fix those two points here:

I looked at Audacity for the time. Might have been looking in the wrong place - anyway, your time is correct: 10:09. Thanks
