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

Section 19 sounds great! I have just a few notes:

- 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. :lol:
For the time being, I'll need a little more time than usual to PL sections that come in on weekdays. Thanks for your patience.

Section 5 sounds great! I have just a few notes:

- At 9:53, you repeat "If claiming the right of suffrage for every citizen" (p. 63)
- At 15:30, "1868," you say "1688" (p. 66, footnote)
