PL notes for Chapter 9:


@ 19:43 Extra words in outro & missing pause: "End of Chapter 9. [Extra words]." [Insert 5 seconds of silence here]
(For the outro, please simply say, "End of Chapter 9." :) )

@ 19:27 Stumble: "He threw a glance over his shoulder before he went out and saw the English lad go fussily toward the little padlocked wooden box that he had been carrying in his hand when he arrived and carefully lift it to the table beside the plate of meat."

@ 16:46 Missing words: "'After that I should be delighted—' 'Very well,' said Titus, 'you eat your meat and I'll go see what room you're to have.'"

@ 15:59 Loud background noise throughout: "'Cage birds, do you mean?' he said, courteously, 'or yard birds?' 'I mean pigeons,' replied his host, dryly. 'O, pigeons,' said Dallas, with relief;"

@ 15:22 Stumble and misread words: "What could he do to amuse his guest while Higby was absent?"

@ 11:52 Loud background noise throughout: "'What's your name?' blurted Titus, in an embarrassed manner when Higby had left the room. 'Dallas de Warren.' 'Ah!' said Titus, and he drew a long breath."

@ 0:00 Please read the intro word-for-word from the script in the first post, like this:
"Chapter 9 of Princess Sukey: The Story of a Pigeon and Her Human Friends. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit librivox.org. Read by Natalia. Princess Sukey: The Story of a Pigeon and Her Human Friends, by Marshall Saunders. Chapter 9: Another Surprise."
Also, your volume is a little too quiet at 85.1 dB. Could you amplify it about 3 decibels to get it to the target range of 86-92 dB?


Great job, by the way! You have a lovely reading voice! :)

@ 13:06 Missing outro and pause: “... he has also a heart. End of Chapter 3.[Insert 5 seconds of silence here]

Great job!!
I seem to have forgotten the specifications about the "end of... " at the end of chapters. I will add the required sections and send all three chapters in full.

Thank you for your kind compliments. I'm still learning, and hope to improve.

Further PL notes for Chapter 9:

@ 19:43 Misread number: "End of Chapter 9."

@ 19:45 Too-long pause: "End of Chapter 9." [only 5 seconds of silence here, please]
(The pause is currently about 7 seconds long; could you trim it down to 5?)

The new filename for your recording has an extra "mp3" in it. (You actually don't need to type "mp3" when naming a file -- it's added to the end automatically.) Could you re-name your filename so that it reads: "princesssukey_09_saunders_128kb.mp3"?


Very smooth editing! :)

Further PL notes for Chapter 14:

@ 9:24 Missing words: ""...word of advice, I want to know what you intend..."

@ 2:46 Missing words: ""...quivered and seemed to close more protectingly about the little white head."

Also, be sure to name your new filename as directed in the first post: "princesssukey_14_saunders_128kb.mp3"
("V2," etc., is not necessary for newer corrected versions.)


Nice job! Almost there! :)

I'm sorry I haven't PLed these chapters in a timely manner, and life just got busier for me. I'm going to put a post in Listeners & Wanted to see if someone can help out.
