Thank you very much Sonia! You always shower me with compliments!
It was my intention practically to follow what you called option 1.Kitty wrote: ↑June 12th, 2021, 8:14 am
I do have a few minor corrections to suggest, but it's really not difficult to correct them. If you need a how-to, please let me know. As you know, there is no need to re-record
Ok, but before I mention the errors, I have a bigger problem. Sorry if it wasn't mentioned before, but in this collection we always include FULL stories per section, not separate chapters. It should always be one finished story. As you can see, we have only 2 more slots left in the Magic Window, so we couldn't even include your full story in this collection if we had one section per chapter. Luckily the chapters are very short, so the 5 included in one file will not exceed our maximum length of 74 minutes.
So I have 3 options on how we could proceed here:
Option 1: you record the rest of the story, each time saying Chapter 2, Chapter 3, etc and then you paste the entire audio together into one file. For that you don't have to re-record the first chapter, but the intro needs to be tweaked a little bit (see below).
Option 2: you will not post the story in our Multilingual project but you do the entire book as Solo. If you do that, you can in fact do one section per chapter, if you so wish, in fact I would do that as well if it was my solo.
Option 3: if a solo is too daunting for you as beginner (I can understand that, and I would also recommend starting in a group), I can offer this book as group project. Then you can still read your chosen story, each chapter has one section, and if it's too much work, there will be other Italian volunteers who will read the other stories.
Let me know which of the three you prefer
I only sent the first chapter as a test, to see how it went, to better set up the recordings of the other chapters.
So, let's go for Option 1!
Regarding corrections, if I understand correctly, I start the recording with the following text:Kitty wrote: ↑June 12th, 2021, 8:14 am
So...if you decide to have the story in this multilingual project, this is what we need to have corrected:
> from 0:02-0:05: "from i racconti meravigliosi" - this should get cut, because we only mention the title of the story and the author, not the title of the compilation where it's from. Also you could say the full intro in Italian, also "read in Italian by" (but this is optional)
> from 0:25-0:29: "i racconti meravigliosi di Egisto Roggerio, serie prima." - this can also get cut for the same reason. I would start with "Un caso difficile, capitolo primo" and then the story
> at 5:48: "fine del primo capitolo" - it should be the title of the story in our case, once you have merged all the chapters together
> at the end: we should leave a standard of 5 seconds of silence (you only have 2) could you add 3 more seconds please ?
Happy to have you on board now, and I'm waiting for your decision now before we move forward.

"Un Caso difficile di Egisto Roggero
Questa è una registrazione Librivox. Tutte le registrazioni di Librivox sono di dominio pubblico. Per ulteriori informazioni, o per sapere come diventare volontario, visitate il sito: librivox.org
Letto da Ruti Pape
Un Caso difficile - Capitolo primo" And then the story begins.
At the end of each chapter, I don't say anything (i.e. I don't say "end of chapter one"), but I leave a few seconds (how many?) and then say "capitolo secondo" and start the story again.
At the end of the whole story, I say:
"Fine de “Un Caso difficile” di Egisto Roggero.
Registrato da Ruti Pape, giugno 2021."
And then I leave 5" of silence.
Is this ok?
Yes, it is a mistake.
I will try to correct it. So I can practice a little bit with Audacity.
Thank you for all your help and all the time you use to follow me.
