Annie
Annie,

A very enjoyable reading of the clever plot of our hero.

There was one or maybe two things that need to be looked at:

1:18 You'll see before long that he'll be after me, to tell me what he thinks of me." You left out the word of.

3:15 It was lucky that Benny took the time when he did It was hard to tell if you said 'It” or “He”. If you said “It” you can certainly leave it alone.

Keep up the good work.

Roma,

Your reading of this section is very well done and enjoyable to listen too. There is only one thing on it. From 2:27 through the end of the recording there is a lot of background noise. If you listen to the 'blank' spaces through headphones you can really hear the noise. If you take a 'noise sample' from 3:05 for example and run it through Noise Reduction in Audacity, it cuts it all out. (I tried it) I know Checker shows only 24.5 on the background noise, but it is very noticeable.

Just clean that up and we will be good to go.

Hi again,

On 15 we have another problem altogether. There are a large number of loud "pops" in the recording which really distract from the story. In the first minute I noted the following ones: :09.5, :19.5, :21, :31.5, :33, :37.5, :41.5, :51, :51.5. (Honestly, that is all I listened to). Also I noticed a number of 'plosives' in this one. I didn't notice any in 14. So, maybe you can listen to this through earphones and see if you can figure out why this one was so much different than 14. They were submitted only eight minutes apart, but I know from personal experience that does not necessarily mean they were recorded that closely together. :)

So, see what you can see, and I will listen again.
