well you have a wonderfully roughened up voice when you are "not yourself" Be careful with your vocal chords though. I can speak from experience, I once recorded some poems while I had a cold and it gave me that cool husky voice, but I felt in the end like my throat was bleeding and for some days afterwards I was nearly mute One has to be careful.Foon wrote: ↑November 9th, 2018, 11:12 am I've had a cold, so I took advantage of my voice being a bit out of sorts to get a lower voice for Richelieu

May I claim
18: How the doges of Venice were chosen, from the old chronicles
and
129 How Portugal opened commerce with India (1498), by Jules Verne ?
Thank you!
Just curious - Why do you record before the role/section is assigned to you? It happened to me before that I didn't get a section I had claimed because I had overseen some post written before or someone somehow hadn't found the thread and had gotten the claim per PN or so.
Moniqua - I check the posts for about a page prior before deciding to record so I ensured no one else had claimed it. I am going to Italy, Spain and France for a couple of weeks leaving in a few days and some of these interested me so that is also why I decided to record them early.moniaqua wrote: ↑November 10th, 2018, 12:07 amJust curious - Why do you record before the role/section is assigned to you?

yes thank you, Lynda, I sign you up. I see you took a lot of paintings, please check the second post for the special notes about how to quote paintings in the intro. Basically everything it says in the MW.Lmnei wrote:Can I please sign up for 18, 27, 48, 54, 91, 92, 96, 126?
no, they are in the correct order. If you look closely, "One day under the commune" starts one page before the painting of the "defense of Champigny". That's why I also put it before the section in the MW. Just use those numbers, they are correct. Thanks for asking.Lmnei wrote: ↑November 10th, 2018, 2:16 pm Just looking at what I need to record and I saw a problem with the MW.
Section 90 should be between 91 and 92. That is the order they are in the book. The book runs -
Current 90 The defense of Champigny, by Jean Baptiste Edouard Detaille (born in Paris, 1848), painting p. 406
Current 89 One day under the Commune (1871), by John Leighton
Current 91 The soldiers dream, by Jean Baptiste Edouard Detaille (French artist, 1848), painting p. 418
Can you please let me know if you are going to change the order to the book order? Then I can change my Intro/Exit accordingly.
you need to be careful still, Lynda. Only a few days ago I got a claim from a newbie while we discussed a project in his one-minute-test. I couldn't update the MW yet, but I had promised him the section and he was the first claimant. Sometimes I also get claims via PM. Although it is the proper way to claim in the thread of course, there may happen cases where it was previously assigned. So it's always better to wait for confirmation before recording. Just to make sure the work is not done in vain.Lmnei wrote:Moniqua - I check the posts for about a page prior before deciding to record so I ensured no one else had claimed it.
