and thank you Erin for the next three sections. They are all perfectly PL ok.

However I noticed another blip in the filenaming, which I overlooked last time. (it's definitely your nemesis :mrgreen: ) there should be no _ between volume and 10. Since they were all ok otherwise, I went and changed them all in my folder, so nothing to reupload here, but please change it in your section 15 when you correct the text.

The safest way to make sure you have the filename correct is to copy the example in the first post, this one: worldstory_volume10_###_tappan_128kb, then simply change the ### to the correct section number. I always do it that way, it's much simpler than typing it out yourself.

Thanks

thank you, Andrew, that was fast. Can you please always state the length of the file for our records each time you post a link ? Oh and careful with the filename, the example is in the first post: it should be 028 not s28 for the section number. Always use numerals.

But no need to reupload right away, I'll PL first and see if there are other issues to fix. I will PL today still, but not right away, as I am about to have guests. As soon as they are gone, I'll PL ;) stay tuned.

and I'm back and had a listen to your section, Andrew. Despite the sad occasion, somehow the whole funeral struck me as a sort of comedy :lol:

Well you read it very lively and interesting. :thumbs: Since you want feedback about quality, I still think that your voice has some peaks in it, so parts of it are louder and other parts very low in volume. Did you use compressor or anything ? It is still understandable, so I don't think it's a big issue, but keeping the voice more level throughout the reading would improve the overall volume. You will practice this with time and further sections, no worries. :) On the whole it was very good and nice to listen to.

However I have found one small error which needs correcting. Now no need to redo it all again, the text itself was flawlessly read. The issue is in the intro, and it is enough to simply re-record that sentence and paste it in the right spot.

> at 0:17: "the world's story volume 10" - for some reason you say "short story" :hmm:

> at the end you have 7 seconds of silence, which could get cut down to our standard 5 seconds

> and since you are reuploading anyway, the filename can be corrected as well: 028 instead of s28

thank you, and it was a great debut :thumbs: hoping to hear more from you soon. Well you already claimed another section, so I know I will :mrgreen:

Duration 4:52

I have also played around a bit with Audacity and hope I have made things better rather than worse. Changing my reading style will take some effort, but there may be technical solutions to help somewhat.

There is no doubt that Horace Walpole was telling the story to amuse. He must have made a tremendous dinner guest.

Hi Sonia,
I see there is one historical note unclaime. May I have it (section 109)? Still working out my recording space in the new house, but should be able to get this done before too long. :)
