Thank you!
Very well read. :)

I'm marking these all PL OK, but I they would be greatly improved by moderate noise reduction because the background him is quite noticeable. It you want to do that, just post your link and notice here so I can check on it.

I forgot to mention the footnote for section 16. I put it at the end, but if you think it would be better before the poem please let me know. :hmm:

Thanks

Thank you for your poems!
This one has several issues.

First, the volume is too low at only 83.4 dB.
Our target is 89dB with an acceptable range of 86-91 dB. Your other two are fine.

Although you can amplify this, it is better, for the future, to adjust your recording setup so that the volume is already closer to the range. You might need to be closer to the microphone, or adjust the input gain. Try different settings/adjustments until you get a better result.

I'm not sure what type of microphone you are using, but the overall audio quality could be better. Acceptable for our purposes but you might think about something to improve it.

Second, the ending is incorrect. Do not repeat the name of the poem. Just say, "End of poem. This recording is in the public domain."

Please make the same correction for you other two recordings.

Also, this one has an extra .mp3 in the file name. Do not add it because it is automatically added when you upload the file.

Please make the above corrections and upload them all under the same (correct) file name and post the links and times here again so we can spot check them.

Thank you for your efforts. :)

Messed with sound reduction. It should be better. I honestly didn't notice until you said something. I dont exactly have the best room setup and I try to record in a spot with as little noise as possible.

I will update the other two soon.
