Let me know what, if anything, I need to redo. Hope my allergies don't make these reading too hard to understand.

Thanks,

I'm not that hard to find
Tell her she can look me up

PL Notes for section 4

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

It would be helpful to even out the volume as it is loud in some places and quite low in others. It would help to first reduce the spikes in your file. To do this follow the video below which is created by Phil Chenevert and is easy to follow. Once you have carried out compression you will then be able to amplify the file to the correct dB.
https://youtu.be/rhvKDCdjaYctch?v=wJ3lOTDsN6c

When you carry out the amplification there is some background noise which detracts from the reading and should be removed please. To do this in Audacity.

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

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

Hi!

Well, I kind of did that. The background noise was so much worse before. I'll do what I can to fix it. I saw Phil's videos and will try to make the best use of it.

Thank you!
