Hi Evan,
Great reading!
The file just needs two little things. Reduce the opening silence to 1 second and the closing silence to 5 seconds. Please reupload it after you make the changes.
Thanks!

Thanks Amy,

I've re-uploaded with a trimmed outro, but after examining the waveform it seemed the intro was already exactly 1 second? Let me know if it's still unacceptable.

Cheers,

Hi Evan,
It is perfect now and an entertaining contribution to the collection.
Thanks! :thumbs:

In the mind, or consciousness of the Earth this flower first lay latent as a dream. Perhaps, in her consciousness, it nested as that which in us corresponds to a little thought.--A.Blackwood

Trying something different here with my first long read and some sound effects. Let me know if it's ok. Track level is at 88.4 db, closest MP3gain would put it.

Hi Liam,
This is a wonderful piece of voice-acting. The sound effects worked well. I enjoyed it.
PL OK :thumbs:
Thank you!

Something different, and perhaps, a little sad.

Moment of truth

Unfortunately, some people will probably not adapt to "new homes".


Thanks
Dale
Hi Dale,
It is very sad. Pioneers take on so much unknown risk.
There is one repeat at 3:10, "Her brother Alex who had been killed in the Normandy landing."
Thanks!

Hi again Amy,

Hope you found the Zen you needed!

I found a post on the forum from 2011 listing yet-to-be-read sci-fi, but as far as I could tell Mr Sevcik's poor story was still waiting for a reader...

Survival Tactics by Al Sevcik

recording: https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/ssf069_survivaltactics_sevcik_ew.mp3
length: 22:53


Have a great day!

I hadn't recorded in a while and I decided to give this short story a go. While editing I realized I have a few plosives but I hope it's not too bad. As a second pair of ears, you'll let me know if it needs more work. Thank you Amy! (goes to show, one needs a test recording also when they haven't recorded for a while...)
