Hello!

Sorry, I'd missed the private message (didn't know they were a function!)

I appreciate the extension. Have the recordings done, just need to edit.

Best,

Loretta

Hello Loretta, just asking for confirmation, since you didn't pick up my private message....are you still willing to keep your two remaining chapters ? I will for now give you a one month extension if you need a bit more time since your post implied you are working on them.

Please let me know a status update and whether I should rather orphan the sections again for other readers.

thanks
Sonia

wow thank you, this was faster than I could hope for 8-) and I especially loved the x-ray explanations on the paintings. Quite fascinating.

Wonderfully narrated again, but I still found a few small spots to edit in both sections, if you could still do those and reupload, that would be perfect:

PL notes for Section 20:

> from 5:00 to 5:02: (p. 186) between "faultlessly dressed" and "I am the agent" – long pause

> from 15:07 to 15:09: (p. 192) between "picked up his apparatus" and "you will think" – long pause

> from 15:13 to 15:15: (p. 192) between "as we left" and "and let you know" – long pause

PL notes for Section 21:

> from 8:07 to 8:15: (p. 197) repetition, one version can get cut: "Let me show you the practical result of all this in studying such radiographs, as worked out by a German student"

> at 9:38: (p. 197) part of the sentence missing (underlined): "of which not a trace is to be found either in the other radiograph or the painting itself"

> from 10:56 to 10:59: (p. 198) between "no such defects" and "Kennedy paused" – long pause

> from 12:58 to 13:01: (p. 199) between "superposed coat" and "he had laid" – long pause

> from 13:07 to 13:09: (p. 199) between "as he faced us" and "at the bottom" – long pause

> at 16:29: (p. 201) "she turned" – you say "he"

> at the end: you have 6 seconds of silence instead of the standard 5

thank you !

hey that is good news, thank you so much. Also this first chapter of the horse story was really interesting and beautifully narrated. And your pacing this time is really much more fluent and engaging now that the breaks are shorter :thumbs: Absolutely word perfect too, great job.

Only one small cut to make at the very end though:

> at 13:04: at the end we require a standard of 5 seconds of silence, you have 10 seconds here, please cut down to 5.

The rest was perfect, thank you, and looking forward to the solution of this riddle.

thank you, great edits. And section 20 is now PL ok.

A couple missed edits for section 21 though:

> at 16:02: "she turned" - I still hear "he", could you check please ? Unless my ears are playing tricks on me :?
> at the end: there are still 6 seconds of silence instead of the standard 5

thanks

sure, me too :) Maybe I'll see you in one of the Black Cat magazines at one point. A new issue has just started and still has one free section, (though it may be fully claimed by the time you read this). :mrgreen: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=93410 If not in this one, there are plenty more issues down the road, the stories will not dry up so soon.

Sonia
What Sonia says!

I personally think it's fine to de-amplify the sound of breaths. However, if you don't want to stress the listener out, please don't eliminate the pauses.
