Hi Sonia!Kitty wrote: ↑June 19th, 2022, 5:38 amthank you so much, Hasta, and don't worry about "taking longer". In fact, I think you were very fast for your first section, and it was not a short section after all. The usual deadline for a section is 2 months, so anything we can get earlier is a bonus.hasoinna wrote: ↑June 19th, 2022, 3:04 amHere's my recording

Sorry it took longer to upload it, the total length is 12:52. Looking forward to getting your feedback on it
And your reading was excellent, and the pacing was nice too. You did not leave too long pauses, but you also didn't rush through it. Sometimes it was a bit fast for me to follow with the text, but I don't speak Indonesian, so I am sure that native speakers who listen to this will follow along just fine.
The text was word-perfect (as far as I can judge ). Technical settings all ok too.
There is only one small thing to edit right at the start:
> at the beginning: we recommend between 0.5 and 1 second of silence maximum, you have nearly 2 which seems a bit long for the audio to start, I would cut to under 1 here.
Nothing else needs to be changed, this was a perfect job for a first section.
I do have a question though, out of curiosity: in the beginning you leave out the word "jang" in "Bab Jang Kesepoeloeh", later you say it, is that important ? Or is it like saying "number" in English, which we also can leave out ?
Just reupload with the exact same filename, then the old one will get replaced by the new one and I can have another look.
I hope you enjoyed the recording and editing process and that I can tempt you to another chapter here.
Thank you so much, and have a good Sunday still (probably evening where you are located).
Sonia
Thank you for taking the time to check my first-ever recording as well as the feedback given to it. I found your feedback both comforting and appreciative, it's very nice of you
I've cut the beginning part as suggested, does it suffice already?

Regarding the word "jang", to my knowledge, it definitely can be left out without giving any different meaning nor signification. That being said, do I still have to incorporate it into the updated recording so that it "fully" adheres to the title?
You have a good day too!
Hasta
