Ok, I'll listen to the parts tomorrow, except for my own though :mrgreen:
Blue Highlight, Green Font and Pink Font of # 56 - The Deserted Village are all PL ok :mrgreen:

There is one 2-seconds-long silence in one of the parts but I can shorten that a bit when editing it all together, right?

strange, was it in mine ?

But yes, as editor you can cut the pauses a bit if you wish. It should sound good in the end. Also the volume should be adjusted and maybe some noisecleaning. Not that one speaks very loud and the next one whispers.

No, wasn't yours :wink:

I just wanted to make sure it's ok to edit the pauses - I've learned that some like them longer than others :mrgreen:

yes for solos, one should accept more the soloist's vision. But in dramatic readings, it's the editor's choice usually.

Tried to go for the "shouting across boat through loud sea storm noises" type voice, aught else I miss an opportunity to try a different voice type!

Kate: your section in The deserted village is also PL ok.

Adrian: your Middle English is fantastic ! Of all the pronunciation rules I remember from my university courses, especially, the ch-sound and the rolled 'r' and the end-e, you did them all correctly as far as I can tell. It sounds quite like Chaucer :mrgreen: Also PL ok. And I uploaded my own part of the host, if you could PL this as well and then it's ready to be assembled. You are the editor for this one, so have fun with that. :)

I got four more DRs for you. I tried something new for me with the "Spectres" (since it says there are multiple in the text), please let me know if you think it's too unpleasant to listen to :lol:

I had a listen, and indeed I think it sounds a bit confusing. Without a text a didn't understand much. :( I think it's better to keep only one voice. In another poem I also played "the mothers" and only left one voice. It's ok to do that. Merging is very difficult to make it sound understandable.

What I often do with spectral voices it using a slight Reverb effect. Have you tried that ? It's under the Effects menu. It sounds cool and ghostly usually.

Thank you Sonia. I now get to return the privilege. Thanks for your recording, I suspect you are closer to the language of the time than I. Lovely recording and definitely PL OK.

Here's the assembled section 93: https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/worldsbestpoetry7_2_093_various_128kb.mp3 @ 15:52 ready for PL. I suspect that will be the easiest bit of editing I ever do:0).

thank you. It's been some years, but I was trying to recall all I could of the pronunciation rules. I studied Medieval English language and literature at university, so these texts should be quite familiar to me :mrgreen:

:lol: true, once there are 4 or 5 readers it will take a bit more of copying hither and thither ;) but apart from having more soundfiles open, the copying system is basically the same.

I'll update the MW and let's hear what Anthony has to say about it
