Thank you, Bill.
Other than numerous places where your volume boosts considerably (I did not cite them), like where you made edits on a different day, this file is PL OK.
What a story! He dreams of an alternate Earth, a world without sin, like Eden. And he finds it boring. Ha! Cool concept.

Uploaded A Curious Dream by Mark Twain
https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/dreamscollection1_curiousdrem_twain_wj_128kb.mp3 2:18
Yes, I realize now that I've dropped the "a" from "Dream".
If I have any PL corrections to make, I'll fix that in the upload.

I need a text source to PL from, please. And the correct time is 25:18, and could you go ahead and submit a correctly named file now, lest we somehow forget to change it later. The LV devil is in the details.williamjones wrote: ↑January 30th, 2020, 9:17 pm Uploaded A Curious Dream by Mark Twain

PL Notes on A Curious Dream
Intro, the full title is actually
"A Curious Dream (written about 1870), containing a moral."
22:15 -24:11, and 24:29 to end, you didn't transfer back to the narrator's gravelly voice. The skeleton keeps talking to the end.
Thanks for this neat story! Very creative concept. Nice voices. I didn't know Mark Twain wrote macabre stories.

Please clarify: should I have used the full title in all 3 places where the instructions say "title"; or just in the first occurrence?msfry wrote: ↑January 31st, 2020, 1:40 pm PL Notes on A Curious Dream

I dropped the gravelly voice because it didn't seem to add anything to the story except make my throat a bit sore. I was uncertain whether I should re-record the start of the story in a straight voice. The prospect of re-recording the buik of the story with the gravelly voice was not appealing. Tell me what you want me to do, please: (1) leave the voices as they are, (2) re-record the opening minutes without the gravellyvoice, or (3) re-record the whole kit-and-kaboodle in the gravelly voice.
Plus, at the point where I dropped the gravelly voice, it occurred to me that is was the SKELETON'S voice which should be gravelly.
I await your counsel and advice.

It's readers' choice on who wears the gravelly voice. It sort of "made the piece" interest-wise, though, so as long as it's consistent with one character, go with that. It's only a few minutes as it is. No rush. Rest your voice, win an Oscar!
That gravelly voice did sound like a corpse that had been buried for 50 years!!!!! But it could as well be a very tired old guy sitting around a graveyard. Like, who does that?

In Re: A Curious Dream
I have started re-recording it, giving the skeleton the raspy voice.
Momentarily stopped on account of rain and thunder.
