"The Hero Twins" is PL OK
Another gorgeous reading.
(Hey, Mark, you wouldn't feel like PL'ing my section 1, would you? There's zero rush on that, as I'm on a much slower recording schedule than you gents are.)
[/quote]
Yes, but is there a procedure for doing that?

Thanks for that
This project is keyed for Standard Proof listening, so we listen for repeats, omissions, word slips that affect the meaning, overly long pauses, distracting background noise. (It is not a requirement that you watch the text while listening.) We make sure the silences at the beginning and end are correct lengths and that the introduction and sign-out are correctly done, according to the project's main post directions. Oh, and that the volume is between 86-92 decibels. Most of us use that free Checker program to check that. Checker will also flag the file if any of the technical specs are out of whack (wrong bit-rate, e.g.).
If you hear something in the recording that needs editing, you would note the time on the track and a bit of info so the reader can find it and fix it. Something like:
there's a repeat at 3:18 of "these soldiers were..."
I think it sounds more complicated than it is.

I listened to the file and it seemed fine, the only thing I found was that at 5:27 you added "ought to" in a sentence, as in "You ought to know" instead of "You know". I'm not even sure that matters, but it's the only thing I noticed that was different from the text.
I'm not sure how to get the file into my checker program from where it is, or what to do now that I've listened to it.
I did enjoy the read, and I'll bet you have a fine singing voice!

Thanks for proofing it, Mark. Singing, I am not trained at all for, nor does it come naturally for me, and my attempts show that.
I appreciate your attention, and I've punched in a fix of that phrase. If you wouldn't mind spot-PL'ing - just open the link and listen to the stretch from about 5:20 - 5:30 to verify that the linked file holds the correction, we'll put this story to rest!

Awesome! I'm only on my phone, in spotty Internet, until Monday, so I won't be able to get it into the MW until then.

I've put my Section 4 up. If one of you gents feels like PL'ing it for me, that would be awesome. If not, no worries. I'll find a DPL for my sections when they're all in.
