Each of them, however, needs some minor corrections as below
Section 14
For the word "placer" a type of gold mining, you did get the short "a" sound correct, but read the "c" as a "k" sound which really changes this. The word rhymes with "passer" I heard this at the following places:
1:00 1:08 1:16 2:46
As mentioned in previous notes, I think this is worth correcting because it is so noticeable.
Then there was a problem with a name
2:36 Text: Maldanado I hear Malandando
Section 15
0:23 and following long pause with noise followed by repeat of Mining Difficulties and Inventions
2:09 Text “raises” I hear “rises” (probably not a big deal, but since you have another correction, I think this might be worthwhile doing).
Section 16
Reading is fine, but both the opening and ending silences are too long
At the beginning, no more than one second, ideally between 0.5 and 1.0
At the end about 5 seconds, so you have several seconds to trim
Please upload the corrected files with the same file name, then post the links and time here again so we can spot check.
I really appreciate your help with these.
