Sorry it's taking me so long--it will get done!
One way to deal with them is to put them in amongst the text so when you come to where the numbers are you can say

what should he see but whole loads of ganconers [45]
say: start of footnote [Ir. gean-canach—i.e., love-talker, a kind of fairy appearing in lonesome valleys, a dudeen (tobacco-pipe) in his mouth, making love to milk-maids, etc.] then say: end of footnote.

Happy for you to do it like that or to leave them out if you feel it will cause too much confusion.

Thanks
Michele

I am very sorry but can I give up my section. I just can't record the Irish bits of the third story in ,my section to a high enough standard. I have kept trying but it sounds laughable. :(

I am happy for you to upload the other two stories and I will separate them out so someone else can record the third one. Would be a shame for your hard work to go to waste. Let me know if this is ok.

thanks

Hi,

There seems to be only one section left to be claimed – Section 31 (King O’Toole and his Goose). May I claim it, please?

If assigned to me, it’ll be my first recording.

I've completed the 1-Minute Test.

I'd like to be noted as Aiken in the LibriVox catalogue.

Cheers

Hello Aikenpayne and welcome to Librivox

You are most welcome to record the section. Before I can sign you up I need to know how you would like your name to appear in the catalogue. It can be your forum name, real name or any other pseudonym you choose. Please ask if you need any help with anything. I see that you have the ok for your 1 minute test so all is good. Have fun

Thank you Michele. I'm looking forward to getting involved in this project.

I’d like to be noted as Aiken in the LibriVox catalogue.

I have a question... On reading the text I note that this section is written in English with an Irish vernacular slant and the consequent pronunciation of certain words and phrases. As a native Irishman, I'm completely comfortable with such inflections and expressions in the language. My question is this... From a Librivox point of view, would it be preferred to record the section in 'everyday' English or should it be done with the inflections and Irish accent as indicated in the text? My own point of view is that the latter would be more effective and more ‘true’ to the story.

I’d appreciate if you could have a look at the text and let me know your thoughts.
