Hi! I've been really stressed coming back to school but I have (two sentences) from chapter 1. I don't think there are any problems, but maybe there are and I'm just terrible at electronical things as always. I hope I didn't sound too young. I signed up for the role without thinking about that, so if I sound too young... I don't know, really, but I've always had one of those young voices.

I hope to do some more when I wake up tomorrow. As always, lovely to talk, Bi.

I got another one done. I hope this one is also alright. Should I still leave 3 seconds between/at start/end of the recording/sentence for ease of editing?

Thanks, Pianolil! I'll sign you up.

@Tricia: We are now full -- Could you please change the heading to [FULL]?
(If I can do it, I haven't been able to figure out how...

).

Thanks!
TJ

Thanks, Bi Pham!
Your voice credit does indeed sound quite young -- but your Aunt Janet voice is a little deeper and I think it will fit into our ensemble great!
(I'll be doing more children's books in the future, so you'll have a chance to use your young-sounding voice as well, if you like...

).

Done!

Usually you can click on the pencil icon in your post to edit it. The time window for editing it might have closed, though; I don't remember if there's a time limit for members to edit a post, and if so, how long it is.

Bingo! Found it!
You know I tried to change the title by editing the first post several times, but I didn’t notice that there was a separate “Subject” section above the post. Man, I will be sooooooo BC-savvy by the time I get to my second project...

Thanks!

I got chapter 20, the shortest one I could find done! https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/storygirl_auntjanet_20_128kb.mp3
I'm afraid I don't sound the same because it's a new day, but at least I have tea to convince myself that I'm old...

I think it's a bit puffy, but it's the best one I've got. I'll try it again this afternoon.

Ha! That's how I do it too -- get the shortest ones out of the way (and it looks more impressive in the magic window...

).

I love your voice as Aunt Janet, Bi Pham. Janet's straightforward and no-nonsense outward mannerisms are contrasted with her big heart and warm, loving personality -- and this shines through brilliantly in your sweet voice.

Chapters 1 and 20 are a bit loud, but I can lower the volume myself as there is no clipping, but you might want to lower your microphone volume just a tad when you record the next files.

In Chapter 20, you left out the word "you":
"Well," said Aunt Janet, when we all descended to the kitchen, "this is the first time you young ones have ever all got up without being called, and that's a fact."

Also be sure to leave enough time for the narration in between your lines (2-3 seconds):
"Well," [2-3 seconds] "this is the first time you young ones have ever all got up without being called, and that's a fact."
It's ok here because you left a little space, I just wanted to make sure you were aware of it in the future.

Chapters 1 and 6 are PL OK!
Nice! Keep them coming...

Thanks,
TJ

THANK YOU for your compliment! I've had a terrible day and now I have to produce an entire play by Thursday so this week will be hard... I love the little moments with aunt Janet!
