You lucky thing, get to hear me massacre the Italian language (poem at end)

Section 5 is PL OK. Your Italian sounds great to me, but take that with a grain of salt, as I don't speak the language.

I did notice there are a lot of mouse clicks during the poem. I'm going to leave it up to you whether or not you want to edit these out, as there are a lot of them and they are relatively quiet (but still noticeable).

Thank you for listening. I definitely want you to use a higher standard for my recordings and really don't want to have any clicks, bumps or other sounds.

The problem is, when I went back to listen for those clicks, I didn't hear a single one! So it's confusing. And I was really listening.

Hmm... maybe try headphones? If you open the file in Audacity, you can actually see the clicks. For example, at 28:31... I highlighted the click in this screenshot: https://ibb.co/VDpgVZ7 Another example is 28:52 - there are multiple clicks here: https://ibb.co/5444bW2 As you can see, the clicks are pretty small, but there are a bunch of them throughout the very end of the file.

Section 6 PL notes: Repeat at 03:20 ("among whom he chose . . . among whom he chose")

Section 7 is PL OK.

Ok, I've corrected 5 and 6.

With the poem, I went ahead and deleted the tiny marks that I saw but could not hear. I am hoping that is where you were hearing clicks with your supersonic hearing

If I haven't already told you, I do want you to use a high standard for my recordings - you can be fastidious

Glad to see this going on so fast. Rita, I was wondering, do you think you will wish to record volume 8 as well? No rush on that, I was just wondering if I should prepare it or not. Also, if you wish to record it but not t prepare it, I will be super glad to do it for you. Let me know whenever you have thought about it and decided.

Also, please, could you add the lengths of the recordings to the notes section in the window? That helps me check the files when cataloging. Thanks!

Hi Leni
I do like this series, even though Vasari's style of writing (endless, endless, run-on sentences) leaves me gasping for breath

Yes, I'll do volume 8, if you'd be so kind as to set it up. Many thanks.

I have made a note to myself to add the time to the MW under "notes."

Sections 8 and 9 are PL OK! I am always quite meticulous (sometimes to a fault

). However, you are such a talented narrator that it is quite a task to find any issues at all!

Thanks, Rita! Ok, when this one is closer to the end, I will set volume 8 up as a solo for you then.

I've added section 10 to the MW, and added the time to the "Notes" section as you requested.

Just wondering about 5 and 6 above: Did they fall in the cracks? Thanks sincerely.
