Thank you but I didn’t mean re-record the entire file… just the first 90 seconds

We rarely ask for an entire re-do. It creates a lot of extra and unnecessary work for both you as the reader and also for the DPL. Plus it gives you the risk of introducing new errors that were not there before.

Section 11

There is a lot of background noise. The file was flagged as needing noise cleaning, but there are a lot of thumps and bumps, especially in the first 90 seconds and I'm not sure noise cleaning will help. This section may need to be re-recorded. It also sounds as if someone is clomping around upstairs and carrying on a conversation ... it is best to wait until it is more quiet. You can snip out long pauses from while you wait

Oops! misunderstood. Thought section refers to Section 11.

Section 11 PL OK
This file is much clearer.

Very understandable. Here's Section 9! I've done the home edits I know to do, but let me know if it needs anything else.

If/once all's well with that, I'm still happy to do some of the other remaining sections.

I have assigned the next open section, 15. I should be able to proof listen 9 tomorrow, so it’s up to you whether you wait or not.

Very nice reading. Keep doing what you did here and you will do well

Still up for more sections! Can I take the big two-parter, sections 24 and 25, next? If so, do you still want the standard track introduction at the beginning of the second, or should I in medias res it?

I have assigned those sections to you. And yes, you should read the standard intro/outro.
