I've been sick with a cold since my return home, so I haven't been able to begin recording for this. Luckily, I'm about 95% recovered now, so it won't be long before I start!

I'm glad it wasn't just me!

the thoughts that go into the small word "No" ! That's dedication. I think your half moon approach was quite good

and give it a PL ok.

I used to sell insurance as well many years ago. They brought in testing and licensing in the UK in the late 1980's I think.

oh it's for a job ? I misunderstood, I thought he was buying an insurance for himself

that's why I didn't understand there would be tests.

Thanks, Craig.

All files are in, and now we just need the last few PL'ed.

While we wait for Anthony, I do have some corrections for 119. Since it's the last file, we also need the book-ending outro after the "End of poem" bit. Also, I hear "Canto 16" instead of "Canto 31" in the intro for some reason.

I double-checked to make sure, and the book definitely prints "XXXI."

Oops!

Thanks, Craig! I'll mark it 'Ready for PL' now, so that Anthony can give it his stamp of approval.

thanks, Craig, you did a great job of Virgil, who is not the easiest to read.

I'll mark both sections PL ok. Although in 116 you are not the last on the voice-credit list, so you need not have said "and"

But I checked and it's easily cut out, so no need to reupload, as this is your only error.

You're all done, unless Anthony finds errors ! Cool. Now you can rest from your pious immersion.

excellent start, Tomas, and I'm happy you're good enough to record again

I started out with the first 3, and all are PL ok and were ready to be assembled. They all sound great mixed together

and the next batch...I loved your Ben Nathan ! Fully of pathos. When I read the narrator I somehow smirked because it felt to me those two are a bit overly dramatic in trying to atone for their sins

Now that I hear you, it seems you got the same vibe. I don't know if it was the author's intention, but they bring a kind of comic effect in there with their laments.

All three of your parts are PL ok and I was able to assemble two more poems:

and of the last 4, wow I LOVED the last man !!!

The way you delivered it, one might think a Shakespearean actor on stage delivering his most important soliloquy in a tragedy. Very powerful, gave me shudders, especially in the end when he rages against the sun.

Super job !!!!

All 4 PL ok and 3 of them are assembled.

we had no idea !!!!! Congratulations

Hope baby and mom are ok.

If you need any help (I mean for the PL jobs, not for the nappy changing

), don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks! I have kept things lean as far as taking on new PL projects because we were expecting the baby to come. He came about 2.5 weeks ahead of schedule so there really was no preparation. Everyone is great! I am back now and should be ok to get caught up.
