Per your feedback, here is the revised recordings with the allocated pause at the beginning of at least 1 sec and at least 5 sec at the end...
https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/princesssukey_05_saunders_128kb.mp3 duration 31:34
https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/princesssukey_06_saunders_128kb.mp3 duration 33:11

If you have any tricks to better handle the pause at the beginning and ending, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi!

Here are two of the three chapters I'd requested.

00 - Dedication -https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/princesssukey_00_saunders_128kb.mp3 - Duration 00:54
03 - Chapter 3: Happy Times - https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/princesssukey_03_saunders_128kb.mp3 - Duration 13:05

I'll be working on the 4th chapter in the coming week.

Please advise.

Yes, sorry about that; that was an error. I should have typed "Chapter 5."

Thanks for the revision! However, the pause at the very beginning needs to be less than 1 second, and greater than 0.5 seconds. The pause at the beginning of your Chapter 5 file is currently 2.3 seconds long.

If you open your recording (the exported version is fine) in Audacity and zoom in about nine times, you can easily see where the 0.5 second mark is in the timeline. The waveforms need to begin in this highlighted area (between 0.5 and 1 second):

Click and drag to highlight some of the silent space at the very beginning and click Ctrl + X to cut it out, so that your waveforms start between 0.5 and 1 second, like this:

PL notes for Dedication:

@ 0:54 Missing line: “... January 26, 1905. End of Dedication.”

Also @ 0:54 Missing pause: “... January 26, 1905. End of Dedication.” [Insert 5 seconds of silence here]

You are a wonderful reader! Looking forward to listening to your other chapter/s.

@ 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! :)
