Here is section 11, ready for PL! I am new to LibriVox so constructive criticism is welcome, even if it means I need to re-record this section. :) Thank you!

Thanks Autumn!

This is PL OK!

It was a very nice and expressive reading and not a single mistake ... yeah you!

If you wanted to improve on one thing, it would be your "plosives" .... that expulsion of air, especially on "P"s and "B"'s that hits the mic and makes a loud noise. Usually positioning the mic off to the side more or above the mouth works, although you may then need to increase your recording volume a bit. Depending on your set-up, a "pop shield" is very useful as well!

Thanks Rachel!

Both sections 2 and 19 were wonderfully read. I enjoyed very much listening to them. You have a very engaging and expressive reading style and no mistakes whatsoever. :clap:

Section 19 is PL OK! .... just a note, that the dBs level is 91, which is in specs (86-92), but is getting near the top end.

Section 2 is at a dBs level of 93 which is outside of our desired range. If you could de-amplify the file by about -4.0 and upload again for a spot PL check, that would be awesome.

Thanks again .... I look forward to hearing more from you! :9:

Ready for PL spot check - sorry about that! I was using different equipment and had actually boosted the vol quite a bit but didn't realize it went that high. Is it ok now?

Thanks Rachel,

It's still on the high end of our range, but it is now in spec, so PL OK!
