Yes. (little shudder). I think they are indeed a bit dark and the eye fixation is strange. Oh well, times have changed I guess. :roll: :roll:

It was quite interesting. It reminded me a bit of Pinocchio. Overall, very nicely read. I only have one small note:
6:36 – heard ‘their’ instead of ‘her’, which could cause confusion

This is my first PL job in a while, so I am a little rusty. It may be that this is too minor of a note. If it is, someone please let me know. I let pass little deviances that didn't change anything (as this is standard PL) but sometimes forget where the line is.

Sounds like this falls into the realm of changing the meaning and so it is something that needs to be corrected. Good call.

Thank you for catching that! I didn't even notice that I had stumbled there; here is the fixed audio (time is still 22:12) -

Now it is OK! Isn't it funny that we can miss things, and then as soon as the PL catches it, notice it clearly? It happens to me all the time.

Good thing you checked. it is in stereo, we need it in mono and your volume is a bit too loud now, at about 95 dB try to reduce it by 4 dB or so.
I don't know how to do either of t hese in garage band but it should not bee too hard.

Chapter 6 is ready for PL! As others have mentioned, these stories are not what I expected.

Wow, quite the intense story. Every story makes me feel less and less like this is for kids. Anyways, here are my notes.

Intro: The main issue here is that you are missing the last line ‘The Laughing Bear and other stories, by Robert Bloomer Hare Bell’, which is the only part with the author in it. In addition, some smaller mentions would be that there was a bit of a long pause after the intro and before the text. In addition, if you wanted, you could edit out the ‘number’ in the initial ‘chapter number 6’ to just say ‘chapter 6’. Your call on the last two.

2:06 – stumble ‘w-about her’

4:15 – a few slight stumbles in this sentence, you may want to redo it

13:52 – slight stumble (b-hide)
