PMed new reader Mayurakshi to ask about one-minute test and the four claims.

Hi, I would like to take parts 99 and 100. Thanks!

Hello Atalie (beautiful name ) welcome to the project. Of course you can have both sections, thank you so much. Be careful there are two pages doubled in one of the chapters I noted it in the MW. Both sections require the full LV disclaimer, you find all the details in the first post.

Have fun !

Sonia

Thank you Sonia!

If these become available, I would like to claim them (or be next in line).

And I also recorded my DR role, as well!

Here is the new and improved 39 :

so sorry this has slipped the net, Jim. But I checked it now, and the title as it is is perfect now.

Still...there is another problem here:

> at 1:39: at the end of the recording, you leave almost 8 seconds of silence and then the title starts up again. Could you only leave 5 seconds and delete everything after 1:44, please ?

Thanks

wow what a chapter on warfare strategies I am amazed that they could stitch together ox-hides so that they would resemble elephants so much that the enemy would be fooled. It's a bit hard to believe LOL

On the whole, wonderfully read, April. Thank you. I only found one very small word which you mispronounced:

> at 2:48: (p. 496): “and having sent for shipwrights out of Phoenicia” – you say “Phoenix”, but it’s actually “Phoenicia”, (the town in Arizona wasn't founded yet at that time ) I guess it would be pronounced “Phenishia” or some such

The rest was perfect and very entertaining

thank you Kevin. I will give the reader another day to answer, but I'll keep you in mind if they get orphaned. You would like to do all 4 of them or just one or two ?

I'm glad you like the project. Rejoice, this is only the second part of the series. There will be plenty of books following this one

Here are my first three sections.

excellent job in all three sections. I loved your narration of Dara I read this poem myself for a JR Lowell project, but I think you did it better than me.
I also enjoyed the story of the turtle and peacock. I so feared it would have a bad ending and was totally relieved that it had a good moral.
Oh and thanks for giving the title of the painting entirely correct on the first go.

All three sections PL ok.

And I also recorded my DR role, as well!

great interpretation of the king I had a hunch you would do this well. You gave him an adequate moodiness and longing, which he probably felt at this point in his life. Here however I found a small error (I think):

> at 5:22: (p. 107): “in token of its reunion with the spring” – even straining my ears I do not hear “spring” at the end.

Actually all throughout this section, in some parts your recording has a tendency to fade off and the last words are barely audible. I guess I can manually make them louder later on when I edit, so no need to correct, but I don’t know what happened to provoke this. Any ideas ?

Thanks so much, Tomas !

So ashamed! I will fix, yet again
