Thanks for the offer! Turns out all three of the original DPLs are still around and still interested, so that was an easy hurdle! But you're welcome to read some in any of them. They're all linked in my signature.Bookworm360 wrote: ↑February 18th, 2021, 3:22 pm It depends on the project, but I’m open mightyfelix!

I didn't notice that! Sheesh, what kind of a BC am I? I'll have to look it over more carefully and add notes about the languages to the MW. Thanks!

Realising that "Cat like tread" actually sounds like a herd of thundering elephants... (Or is that just my two delightful girls?)

....when you select a rare case of a translated Polish short story and you start recording it to contribute to a Short Story Collection, but then you gradually become more and more annoyed with the translation and, as a result, you are not even sure if you're going to complete the recording. (it's a long one, so I've only got a half of it ready so far)

...when you find a lovely George Herbert poem for Lent on the Poetry Foundation page, and Bartleby has the same title so it must be public domain and eligible for the short poetry collection, and you start to read... and it turns out that Bartleby's version leaves out all the interesting stanzas in the middle
Back from a low-internet no-Librivox year in Georgia. Glad to be with you again.

Oh, man...
What's the Bartleby link? Maybe we can find an original of it.

Thank you very much! The full version of The Temper is there! I'll remember to check this site next time as well as Bartleby and Gutenberg. I really appreciate your taking time to find this for me.KevinS wrote: ↑February 21st, 2021, 11:53 am

...when one sentence in your reading of an English translation of a 1904 German non-fiction work has 1 semicolon within a quote inside a set of parentheses within a separate clause separated by an em-dash, one other quote, and one more separate clause separated by an em-dash, all peppered with ten commas within 14 lines that ends with a question mark and should really be read in one exasperated breath?

The problem, with, that many commas, and other, pause-paraphernalia, is that one ends up, sounding like, William Shatner, playing, Captain Kirk.realisticspeakers wrote: ↑March 1st, 2021, 12:38 am ...when one sentence in your reading of an English translation of a 1904 German non-fiction work has 1 semicolon within a quote inside a set of parentheses within a separate clause separated by an em-dash, one other quote, and one more separate clause separated by an em-dash, all peppered with ten commas within 14 lines that ends with a question mark and should really be read in one exasperated breath?

for the sake of understanding, set dots and sentence endings, wherever you can und divide the whole stuff with breaths and breaks.
make this an art.
try to need an hour for 14 lines.
make this even more complidcted and set dots, wherever it esnures, to be not suiting.
compare the 3 versions you have read.
take some parts from each recordings and make a collage numer 4.
make a 5th recording.
...
cheers
