Hehe thanks ^_^ don't compliment me too much... trying to avoid having to squeeze my head through my studio door!

I have adjusted recording 16
Length - 10:33
https://librivox.org/uploads/availle/shadowings_16_hearn_128kb.mp3

And here is Section 17 also with the adjusted pre section text
Length - 16:06
https://librivox.org/uploads/availle/shadowings_17_hearn_128kb.mp3

Section 17 I did some re takes on some words I tripped over (a number of words I have not heard in a long time even for an Englishman!) so let me know if the change in intonation at those points is obvious and need to be redone.

I am fully expecting some more notes/adjustments... however if these will work then If I could request section 19 to finish up the book?

Another excellent reading! I did, however, notice a couple of stutters in chapter 16. Perhaps I'm being persnickety (in which case, Availle, please let me know), as they're not really magnificent blunders. But I thought I should bring them up, nonetheless.

3:20 - “def… definitive fear of ghosts”
11:35 - “opp… opposition”
15:02 - “savage prime… primitive”

I will try and re record those snippets

This was my first recording attempt so I am sure there are things I will have to fix. Please let me know what I can do to fix it. Thank you!

Availle already mentioned the file name issue, so no need to bring that up.

This is great. Lovely reading. There's just one minor issue: the silence at the end is far too long. Each recording should end with only five seconds of silence. This one concludes with a stretch of silence far longer than that.

Otherwise, this is wonderful. Nicely done!

Great!

could you please cut the end silence to 5 seconds only and reupload the file as
shadowings_05_hearn_128kb.mp3
please?

Thanks!

Ok put those corrections in....

May need a little more balancing to make the inserted corrections match up better, please let me know if that is needed.

Thank you!

Insertions never match up perfectly. You'll get better at doing it over time, but still some people will notice. It's not _very_ important, don't worry too much about it.

PL OK. And if it helps, the insertions were hardly noticeable. I would've never noticed if I didn't know they were already there.

Thank you, Chuck. The level of reading already done on this project is intimidating. Probably the best-read project I have stumbled into.

Thanks for PLing Chuck!

How would you know that...

does that mean you're downloading the other sections?
Naughty girl! You really should wait until we're all finished here and the project is catalogued.

Hello again!

I trimmed the end silence to be 5 seconds long as was requested. I also changed the file name to be 05, instead of 5.

If there is anything else, please let me know!

Edit: Also, sorry I forgot to include the new time length. This one is 16:52

Post by **Availle** » March 12th, 2017, 7:34 pm

Great, thank you very much!

I have already entered your new file into the MW, so there shouldn't be any problems. Chuck will check it once again, but there shouldn't be any problems.

I hope you'll be reading more for us soon!
