Section 19 sounds great! I have just a few notes:Peaceblossom wrote: ↑March 10th, 2021, 9:20 am I have finished recording Section 19. I have done my best to follow all of the requirements, but I fear some things may have slipped through the cracks on this, my first recording (other than the test).
I also have concerns about the length of time I am pausing between sentences, thoughts, and paragraphs.
I have not mastered the editing process. I think my new inserted/replaced words and lines sound oddly out of place and louder than the rest of the recording. Help! ( :
There was one particularly long footnote that came in the middle of a sentence. I read the footnote at the end of the sentence so it would not interfere with the continuity of thought.
I tried to indicate short quotations with a change of voice, but in one case the quotation was long so I used, "quote/end quote."
I am eager to hear your advice and corrections.
Thanks, Peaceblossom

length 26:02
- At 2:25, "called for August," you say "called for in August" (p. 238)
- At 11:18, you say "The parade, however, was largely...mistake" before saying the complete sentence (p. 242)
- At 11:49, "the treatment accorded the marchers," you say "the treatment afforded the marchers" (p. 242)
- At 18:59, "The suffrage amendment was thereafter," you say "The suffrage amendment was therefore" (p. 246)
- Could you add about five seconds of silence at the end?
The pauses sound good to me. Regarding inserting and re-taking words, something I'll mention to keep in mind for future recordings is that my approach is to record an entire phrase or sentence instead of a single word. That way it's easier to make the edit sound more natural.
I'm impressed with your tackling this long a text for your first non-test recording. You did great! The first thing I recorded was a minute-and-a-half-long poem, and it's all in one take because I hadn't learned about editing yet.
