duration: 0:56

Good reading :thumbs:
There are several issues that need attention, however, as follows:

Needs “To a Petrel” at the beginning
0:37 to end == someone shouting in the background.
Closing silence is too long at 7 secs. Should be closer to 5.

The background voices might pass in a long prose piece, but in a short poem, they are very noticeable and distracting. Since this poem is so short, you might consider a new recording.

Just upload the new file under the same name the post the link and new file length here, and I'll check it again.

Just one note that needs attention:
69 Resurgence
Closing silence is too long at nearly 10 secs. Should be closer to 5.
Thank you for your very kind words! :)
Ooooh, I don't know how I missed this - here is the reupload after chopping off the extra silence.

27 and 28 Intro should be just the "name of the poem" by Cale Young Rice, . . .
Do not include the title of the book.

Good reading, but a couple of technical issues

First, the volume is too high at 95.4 dB. Our target is just 89 dB with a range of 86-92 dB. You can use the Amplify function in Audacity choosing a value of -6.4 to bring it down to the proper level.

Second, there is a loud click right at the end of the recording that you should snip out. While you’re at it, there is a smaller click in the opening silence that you could clip, esp. since that silence is a little over 1 sec, and we like to have it not over 1 sec. Ordinarily I wouldn’t mention it, but it is easy to do since you need to edit the file anyway. Upload it again with the same file name, and post here so I can check it.
