a bunch for tonight. Anthony, if you feel like my voice is cracking in the poem "In Prison", you're right. I had a hard time keeping down the sobs while I was reading this poem. I chose to keep my first emotional reading though, as I feel it fits.

Tomas, you may be pleased to hear I was inspired to a little melody for the novice's song in The Foolish Virgins

I think it turned out quite emotional as well, which it should be, since it's moving the Queen to tears.

Thank you, Craig!

I'll let Sonia update the MW, because I'm a bit busy right now with final preparations for my holiday. I won't be able to record for a few weeks, so there's no immediate rush with this project, as I won't be able to start handing in files until I come back. A bit of a reprieve, in other words.

That doesn't mean you can't keep sending in your files, though, as I'm sure Anthony wants to hear them!

See you all soon!

well, it's a great start. I found Milton was not easy to read, the parts I had to read I mean. But you are really doing a wonderful job here.

Absolutely PL ok. A pleasure to listen to.

Thanks, MW updated !

A couple more from me. In a new recording area and struggling with echos. It's OK when you're god, but not so great for normal mortals.

I did indeed notice an unusual echo in your first section

Maybe you need to pad out your recording place with a carpet or some pillows assorted around the microphone.

Well, your thundering voice of God still does the trick

this section is also PL ok. And that is Milton done for you. Not an easy task but well achieved.
