COMPLETE[Historical Fiction] Held Fast For England, by G. A. Henty - thw

Post by **ToddHW** » January 31st, 2024, 9:43 am

(Why do we need 5 seconds of silence on every recording? Becuz some mp3 players will cut off early; something about the mp3 decode processing they do is always a couple seconds late - they need the silence so the processing will go all the way to the end of the meaningful recording content. The CD player in my wife's car does this cutoff thing and always misses the last couple words in each chapter. Maddening.)

Thanks, Todd

Thank you!

I was very relieved that I didn't have to rerecord and that the corrections were minimal!

File name is correct, duration checks out, and I see both of those changes in the uploaded file - section 12 gets the official Proof-Listener "OK"!

Great, thank you!

And here is chapter 13!

That was quick! Thank you for the link and the file duration; I'll start PL tomorrow, and post back with any notes.

Another well done! Just one note this time:
@27:35, I hear a repeat of "I can't find the man, senior"

Sorry about that - here it is corrected!

Not at all, these things happen even when folks play very close attention, and that's exactly why we have our proof-listening process. Chapter 13 is now PL OK!

May I claim the next two sections - chapter 14 and 15a?

Certainly!
If you run into anything, have any questions about the division of chapter 15, etc., just let me know.

Thank you! I will not be able to record anything until next Tuesday, but I'll be back then and hopefully be able to get both of them to you! Have a great weekend!

Chapters 8 and 9 are now open for claims.

Just one note again:
@23:19, missing the phrase "especially among the children"

Henty tends to write sentences that run on for an entire paragraph, but you've done an excellent job of navigating them! I'm also excited to hear about Miss Harcourt soon.
