Please let me know if I may read 23-28 :)
Sure, go ahead if you would like.

I listened to a little bit of your Chapter 13 file, and I heard just a few plosives here and there. You may consider moving the microphone a little further away and a little more to the side of your mouth to help prevent your breath from hitting it. :)

PL notes for Chapter 13:

@ 20:52 Repeat: "End of Chapter 13."

@ 3:41-46 Microphone noises

@ 3:22 Misread word and repeat: "And one day the Judge did hear a species of altercation..."

@ 1:44 Missed word and repeat: "As soon as these children..."

@ 0:00 Too-Long Pause: [Pause] "Chapter 13 of Princess Sukey..."
(Could you please trim down this pause to 0.5 to 1 seconds? I know this sounds nitpicky, but it's a requirement for all LibriVox recordings.)

Also, the volume is too low at 82.5 dB. Could you amplify it around 6 dB to get it to the target range of 86-92 dB? (I use LibriVox's free Checker program to check the technical specifications of recordings. It will tell you the volume of your recording as well as if there are any other technical issues.)

For future recordings, try not to touch or move the microphone during the reading. The microphone picks up on these things, and the sounds can be quite loud and distracting.

Hi - thank you! I moved the mic a bit to hopefully eliminate any unwanted noise!

PL notes for Chapter 14:

@ 22:11 Missing pause: "...end of Chapter 14" [Insert 5-second pause here]

@ 22:08 Extra words
(Please simply say "End of Chapter 14," as instructed by the first post of this thread.)

@ 21:48 Error and repeat: "...queer, old-fashioned, precocious, yet strangely childlike..."

@ 16:04 Error and repeat: "A delightful sensation ran through her veins."

@ 13:58 Error and repeat: "She does not knock at the dining room or the parlor door."

@ 9:32 Error and repeat: "...word of advice, I want to know what you intend..."

@ 7:43 Too-long pause: "...'an I'll teach you [Pause] Latin an' French, 'cause you'll not..."
(Could you remove this pause?)

@ 7:35 Error and repeat: "So the next time Barry Mafferty comes in..."

@ 7:24 Too quiet: "It's time I was lookin' higher."
(This sentence sounds much quieter than the one before and after it, and is a little hard to hear. Could you amplify it two or three decibels?)

@ 2:49 Error and repeat: "...quivered and seemed to close more protectingly about the little white head."

This chapter made me laugh! That Airy! :)

Thank you for the notes! Do you have a document you can share on how to make edits mid recording? I want to make sure I follow the correct process :)

Yes, thanks for the nudge! I see that I didn't mark your section as "Ready for PL," so I had missed this when doing the PL'ing.

It's PL OK! :thumbs: You did a GREAT job with that song, by the way! :)

I wasn't able to find any documents that I thought would be very helpful, but here is a video tutorial made by a LibriVox MC:
