Sorry it took so long to fix it! (had so many exams )JoannaHoyt wrote: ↑February 12th, 2021, 4:06 amThank you for these chapters! I enjoyed listening to your reading. There are just a few spots that need to be fixed:aydrogekistky wrote: ↑February 11th, 2021, 2:59 am And here's Chapter 13 @ 11:58
https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/electlady_13_macdonald_128kb.mp3
In Chapter 12:
At 6:00 for "If a man has no ambition..." I heard "If a man has no admission..." (only the first syllable needs to change)
At 7:42 I didn't understand the word "hitherto" until I looked it up. Usually for this word the emphasis is on the first syllable, (HITH-er-too) and the "th" is pronounced as a blend, as at the beginning of "that" or "the." (The Cambridge Online Dictionary also has an audio file of the pronunciation: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/english/hitherto)
In Chapter 13:
3:39 "hitherto" again
4:09 "hitherto" again
5:04 "heather that bloomed lovely around the bare moor"--I heard "the bare moon"
6:52 "that it gave her no annoyance"--the word "her" isn't in the text and it changes the sense of the sentence in a way that puzzled me
11:41 "by living in the presence..." I heard "my living in the presence"
Also, please add about a second and a half to the end of each chapter to bring the ending silence up to the 5-second target.
When you have completed these edits, please upload your file with the same file name and leave a note in the thread.
Thank you for taking time for these, and thank you again for your readings.

Thank you very much for taking time to fix these! Now these sections are clear and good, and PL OK.
I hope that the exams went well and that you're getting some time for rest and delight.

Thank you! This is clearly and vividly read, and I enjoy the way you do the voices. There are two minor edits needed:SarahW wrote: ↑March 8th, 2021, 9:17 am Section 26 ready for PL!
https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/electlady_26_macdonald_128kb.mp3
Please clip the opening silence down to between 1/2 second and 1 second.
Also, most of the recording is on the quiet end, though I can still hear it clearly and it passes Checker (the target decibel level is 89, and Checker shows this as 86.9), but at 1:17-1:18, on "There is his wife..." the volume is briefly quite loud. The Amplify feature in Audacity lets you adjust volume either up or down. (I am fairly new to recording and I end up using Amplify quite a lot.) When you've made those edits, re-upload the file with the same name and post a note here so I'll know it's ready for spot proof-listening. Thank you!

Thank you! The volume is nicely leveled out now. The opening silence is still a bit over a second long--can you clip it a bit more so it's between 1/2 and 1 second? Also (should have asked about this earlier), have you tried running Noise Reduction on your file? That might help to remove a background buzz which is a bit distracting although it does not prevent my understanding your clear and expressive reading.SarahW wrote: ↑March 11th, 2021, 6:35 am Thank you Joanna!

Chapter 22 is taking a bit longer, but should be able to complete next week, if there are no more edits needed for 21.

Just two corrections are needed:
At 0:38 for “and make impulse the slave of conscience” I heard “and make impulsive the slave of conscience”
At 7:31 for “he was filled, not with the longing for sympathy” I heard “not with the longing for symphony”
