Sec.19 PL OK :thumbs:
...any advice or recommendations are welcome.
Victor, you are doing great.
One little thing I did not mention before because in the beginning we had other problems to solve, and I usually let things like that go :D
In every intro for "Льва Толстого" I hear "Тольстого". Try to make the "л" a bit harder. The word is absolutely understandable, don't sweat it if the difference is small for your ear :D

Since we haven't heard from the reader of Sec 8-11 for long, they have just been returned to the pool.

Hi! 🍍

Sec 7 PL notes:
2:55 - Двѣ борзья собаки ,
5:55 – лёг на трАву; I don`t know if it`s right stress for old language used in that text and imagine that for PL Standart this isn`t necessary;
9:33 - изъ за кустовъ
Smth about 3 sec of silence at the end; just add a little more to reach ~ 5 sec pls.

It`s so curious you don`t tell anything like Recorded by etc.!
Good job, dear Sofia! 🌱

It reminded me the comic scenes of antique russian hunting from the movie "Peculiarities of hunting in winter season" :lol:
Thank you Alexander. Could you please provide the info of what you read in a book and what you hear in a recording for the future? so anybody could easely understand what's the difference.
Thank you

Added.
So I got curious with the word борзья and clarified for myself Sec 7 PL notes
2:55 - Двѣ борзья собаки ,
Alexander made a typo борзья, should be борзыя. More important, Собаки is omitted. I'd leave it up to the reader, because word "борзые" alone is often used meaning "борзые собаки."
5:55 – лёг на трАву; I don`t know if it`s right stress for old language used in that text and imagine that for PL Standart this isn`t necessary;
Alexander heard лёг на трАву, but saw лёг на травУ.
I personally don't believe old Russian of Tolstoy differed too much from the modern one. Moreover, page 38 gives us "на траве" at 6 rows up from the bottom, so the word should sound in the same way of stress. This one needs to be corrected.
9:33 - изъ за кустовъ
Alexander heard из кустов, but saw изъ за кустовъ. The meaning of two words is very close, and I'd leave it up to the reader.

Smth about 3 sec of silence at the end; just add a little more to reach ~ 5 sec pls.
Good catch, Alexander!
So I went back and corrected the recording of Sec 7.

Smooth job, Anya, I first thought Sofia herself came back and fixed her track! Are you going to try to fix Maria's tracks too :roll: :?:

Hanna, this is the link to the file- Hanna, should I post it anywhere else?
Also, as this is my first recording, is there anyway I can get feedback on the quality? I may have to re-record.

Hi Oksana! No, you've posted it in a right place. I'd ask you to add file duration.
Please always post in this forum thread when you've sent a file. Also, post the length of the recording (file duration: mm:ss) together with the link.
You will get feedback from our DPL Mark for sure: PL OK or PL notes. We all are volunteers so it will occure sooner or later.

I've listened briefly to your recording. It sounds good to me. Вы читаете хорошо, с выражением и пониманием детских переживаний :)

Спасибо :D

Hello, Miss Oksana, welcome to the project :clap:
No, you won't have to re-record, but there are a few things to look at:
Your recording is too quiet, please add 12 dB, https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Amplifying.
Also, please post the length of your recording, so we know your section was uploaded in full. That's all you HAVE TO do.

Now, you are asking for "feedback on the quality." Here you are: 8-) (this is beyond the standard proof-listening, fixing these are up to you, it's pretty good as it is!).
The head post says: "No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording! ... There should be ~5 seconds silence at the end of the recording." You have left 1.3 and 4.2 respectively. Not a big deal, but uniform pauses make listening more relaxed.
@1:07 "что же он это", I hear "что же это он"
@2:00 "не хотя" (в совр. грамматике "нЕхотя"), I hear "нехотЯ"
@2:40 "выходить из-за него" I hear "выходить из-за нее"
@2:52 "княжна", I hear "княжня"
@2:57 "пустилась вперед, нискОлько", I hear "вступилась вперед, нЕсколько"
@3:35 "па" (pas) is a separate foreign word, should be heard distinctly. I hear "пана цыпочках"
@3:45 "непременно", I hear "непремерно"
@4:03 "княжна", I hear "княжня"
@4:25 "несообрАзным", I hear "несоОбразным"
@4:48 "папА" is a French word and must be stressed on the last syllable. If it were Russian, it would be "папы" :)
@4:57 "одобрении", I hear "ободрении"
@5:28 "княжнA", I hear "княжня"
Here it is, thank you for asking :D Looking forward for more sections from you :clap:
Happy New Year!
