I already listened to the first section about the sheikhs. Wonderful to hear all those names spoken with an authentic pronunciation, thanks for that.
I also love the lively way of narrating the dialogues, this enhances the pleasure of listening.
I only found a couple of small errors, and some pauses between sentences, which were almost 3 seconds long. For a listener who is absorbed in the story, this feels too long
so I would suggest to cut the following to under 2 seconds. Best start with the end, so the time stamps all remain the same
>
at 2:55-2:58: (p. 310) long pause after “he never walked upon it no more”
>
at 4:27-4:30: (p. 310) long pause after “erect and tall”
>
at 7:24: (p. 312) error: “and pay the
price he asked” – you say “
prince”
>
at 9:33-9:36: (p. 313) long pause after “and paid him the money”
>
at 10:03: (p. 313) stumble and repeat: “
and from that” – can be
cut out
>
at 11:33-11:36: (p. 314) long pause after “in the ears of Kaid Abd el Wahid”
>
at 16:38-16:41: (p. 316) long pause after “and experience the extent of his power”
>
at 17:19: (p. 317) error: “and from which side did
they come” – I hear “
he came”
>
at 19:13-19:17: the pause before the end disclaimer is also very long
> And finally, maybe you could run one round of
noise-cleaning to make the background hum a bit less audible
great job in any case, a pleasure to listen to. Thank you. Will try to listen to the other section later on, but I already wanted to give you feedback on this one.
