I have completed reading Chapter 10 : https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/ourfeatheredfriends_10_grinnell_128kb.mp3 duration 07:45
as well as Chapter 11 : https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/ourfeatheredfriends_11_grinnell_128kb.mp3 duration 10:33

Please review and provide feedback.
Appreciate the opportunity to read and thank you.

The two chapters were interesting to listen to and you did a nice job with the reading. That being said, however, there are a few small changes to be made to the files.

Both files have background noise throughout. Running the files through Noise Reduction in Audacity should clean up a lot of that.

Also, the instructions ask to put your (optional) name at only the beginning or end of the recording, not in both places.

Additional items for Chapter 10
1. At ~1:44, delete the caption "Chimney Swift"

2. At ~2:21, delete the caption "Arkansas Goldfinch"

3. At ~7:10, change "when" to "which" in "when he could make as good a meal"

4. At either 0:16 or 7:39 remove "read by smilingjade". You do not need to remove both.

Additional items for Chapter 11

1. You should have a little more silence at the beginning, add around 0.5 seconds

2. At either 0:16 or 10:26 remove "read by smilingjade". You do not need to remove both.

Please let us know if you would like any assistance with these.

Thanks,

M

Thank you and hope that fixed the feedback you provided.

Thank you. Both of these are now PL OK.

Your singing was great! It really fit in perfectly in my opinion. (Now my singing on the other hand...)

Just a few minor tweaks needed to mark this PL OK - and none involve your singing.

You have a little too much silence at both the beginning and the end. There should be between .5 and 1 second of silence at the start, I suggest you remove about .5 seconds.
At the end, it should be around 5 seconds. so a little over 1 second should be removed here.

I also recommend that you run the file through a noise reduction to cleanup some of the extraneous background noises.

Please let me know if you would like an assistance with that.

You did a really nice job with the chapter.

Thanks,

M

Chapter 24 was beautifully done - just two minor issues with the length of the silences at the start and finish.

There is a little two much silence at the start - it should be no more than 1 sec. Something to pay attention to in future recordings.

The end should have no more than 5 seconds of silence. Please remove ~ 2 seconds of what you have.

Thanks,

M
