Here is chapter 9, with my attempts at character voices

It passed the checker at 91.1 db, and runs 23:29

I don't think I will be able to do chapter 8 though, so you can open that up for someone else. Sorry.

It appears Chapter 8 still needs a reader so I'd like to sign up for that, please.

PL Notes for Chapter 9

There should be between 0.5 and 1 second of silence at the beginning of the file it is currently shorter than this

Also it is my fault as the first post in the thread was not very clear but would you be able to change the intro and outro to Chapter 9 rather than section 9. It would be very much appreciated.

Many Thanks

PL Notes for section 18

Hi and thank you for your reading.
I am afraid I have caused confusion in the first post with how I would like the introduction and ending. If you could please say
Chapter 18 at the beginning and end of the file rather than section 18 that would be great.


There should be between 0.5 and 1 second of silence at the beginning of the file it is currently shorter than this

There is a lot of background noise sounds like children playing and cars in the background. If you could run it through noise reduction that would help somewhat.

Step 1 - Select a piece of background noise
Select a piece of background noise (no speech, breaths or other noises) in your audio.
In Menu click: Effect > Noise Reduction... A dialog will pop up.
Click "Get Noise Profile" The dialog box will close instantly.

Step 2 - Noise Reduction
Press CTRL-A / Command-A to select your complete recording.
In Menu click: Effect > Noise Reduction... again. Note: don't select "Repeat Noise Reduction" -- that instantly applies the default settings; you want to adjust the settings and preview the results before you apply the noise filters.

Set Noise Reduction (dB) to 12
Set sensitivity to 6.00
Set frequency smoothing bands to 3
Choose Noise: Reduce
Click ok
This should solve the problem. Always make sure you listen to files through headphones so that you can notice any background noise that needs removing. I have tried this setting on your file and it works. It would be good for you to do this yourself so that you can hear the difference.


Please could you carry out the edits then upload the file using the same file name. If you need any more help please just ask. Thanks
