Yes, thanks, Kerry! Well read, and I'm glad we'll have our book voice in this collection!

Just one note: we've got a custom format for the intro and end-matter for just this one project, could I have you read them in this format please?

Section 7, [Optional: "Sonnet:"] "When I by thy faire shape did sweare", by Richard Lovelace.

John

Thank you, John! Very well read, and they do sound great! I have just a bit of re-recording for you, then a couple edits for silences.

Section 19 is straight PL OK!

In sections 21, 24, and 25, for consistency, could I have you re-record "Lucasta" with the other "a" sound in the middle syllable?
I'm not sure I understand the technical phonetic spelling from our pronunciation note, but the way we're all pronouncing it sounds to me like "Loo-CAST-uh". More specific notes below.

Section 21
- Please re-record "Lucasta" both in the title and first line of the poem, pronounced as above. If you want to do the whole title, or the whole line, so that your voice matches, that's perfectly ok. Do what sounds good to you.
- The silence at the end of this file is too short, at about 2.5s, where it should be close to 5. If you can record a bit more "room-silence" (or copy/paste a bit), that'll help us get a uniform interval between sections, and without any eerie complete silence.

Section 24
- Again, "Lucasta", though it's only in the title here.
- This ending silence is on the long side at 6.5s. I might not have mentioned it since it's closer, but if you can snip this down to 5 while you're at it, that would be helpful.

Section 25
- "Lucasta", again only in title.
- The end on this one's again a bit short, at about 3 seconds.

Update: With a second pair of ears, we've decided this pronunciation works just fine, so no changes will be needed. Our BC has also edited the silences, and all sections above are now PL OK!

This was your first set of submissions, and I hope you make many more! If you've ever got questions about editing or need to see it done, there are some great videos you can find linked in the help forum, and you can always feel free to ask about anything in the project thread as well!

Thank you Kerry for both submissions. The MW has been updated for the DPL.

Sorry to bug you, Kerry, but we'll need one last tweak to the ending disclaimer. Copyright is unforgiving, so we have to be careful about these things.
It's close right now, but we need the line to say "This recording is in the public domain."
