Hi Carolin, I would be happy to do other poems in the sections, if those assigned are not done for various reasons!

Section 40 needs one small correction before is it PL-OK. The end silence is barely 1 second long. It should be around 5 seconds. The reading is word perfect and well done.

Many thanks,

Philip

Ending silence is a little better but only 2.5 seconds. It really should be a little longer. If it isn't closer to the 5 seconds then some players will cut off the end of your recording.

Nishtha,
Do you use Audacity? If so, please check a setting. View>Show Clipping. Please make sure there is a check mark in front of the 'Show Clipping'.

This recording has a significant amount of distortion, likely due to clipping. Please consider lowering your input volume or moving slightly away from the mic. If you amplify your files please ensure they are NOT allowing clipping during the amplification process.

I'm sorry but this file has too much distortion to be PL ok. I am not aware of any way to fix this without recording it again.

Nishtha,,
Section 54 is well done! PL OK.

Ending silence is a little over the 5 second desired length so something to keep an eye on for future recordings.

Sections 62 and 118 are PL OK!

Foon,
Sections 89, 91, 99, and 101 are both PL OK.

Section 99 - I have a couple of pronunciations for your requested CC list.
Hail -https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hail
Creed - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/creed

nighthawks,
Sections 120, 122, and 123 are all PL OK.

Section 121, the ending silence is less than 2 seconds. Please extend to ~5 seconds so your recording doesn't get cut off during playback.

ellies,
125 is PL OK

Section 126 the volume is too low at 85.3dB. We aim for 89dB with an acceptable range of 86-92dB.

When you upload your correction, please fix the file name. It should be humorouspoems_126_brennan_128kb.mp3

Section 127
2:37 should read – Who make red-backed books their biz,
An’ who sell them to the toilers
Missing biz, and you added in the page number 204

When you upload your correction please fix the file name. It should be humorouspoems_127_brennan_128kb.mp3

Section 128
1:03 repeat – But these would ne’er have been

1:37 missing text - Decisively her own-her own

When you upload your correction please fix the file name. It should be humorouspoems_128_brennan_128kb.mp3
