Happy listening!

I was wondering how bringing in a third party candidate was going to get their candidate elected. Interesting conclusion to the story.

Just a few simple changes needed to get to PL OK.

please add a small amount of silence to the start so that there is between 0.5 and 1 second of silence
should be "section 2" at the start, you've got it right at the end
27:08 should not be the "N station". I believe the instructions in the original post are to use "blank" in this case.

Well done overall.

Thanks,

M

Yes, it was an interesting twist! Here's the updated recording, with the requested changes.
Here's the new file: https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/secretservice_02_forester_128kb.mp3 . It is 39.29 seconds.
I re-worked the entire 'header' section (Up to about :40 seconds). The 'N station' replacement was just the one phrase.
Everything else was untouched.

Thanks, Doug. PL OK now. Sorry about the delay. Our DPL is out of town and I didn't realize it. We usually try to give feedback much sooner. Fortunately, this was all OK!

Here is Secret Service section 9 with the corrections as below. Duration 23:21

https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/secretservice_09_forrester_128kb.mp3


As already mentioned the filename should be "secretservice_09_forrester_128kb" per directions specified in the initial post. Please use the corrected filename when you upload the corrected file.
0:06 Please delete "A Patriotic Barber in Fault". The section title does not belong here.
0:23 please insert " "Secret Service; or, Recollections of a City Detective, by Andrew Forrester. A Patriotic Barber in Fault."
9:44 should read "100 pounds" not "1001" in "The price was 100l."
10:27 should read "100 pounds" not "1001" in "and he were paid 100l., "
14:54 should read "2 pound" not "21" in "British constitution of the 2l. 10s. householders"
19:52 should read "100 pounds" not "1001" in "The note, which was for 100l., "
23:11 should be "section" instead of "chapter" in ""End of section 9"

Thanks,

M

PL OK!
You have a lovely reading voice. It reminds me a little bit of Meryl Streep. And I am jealous of your seamless edits. I can never quite get my voice to sound the same when correcting a piece after the fact.

Good read, you have a very expressive voice.

There are two corrections needed:
Sec. 21

4:46
Text: Were not your wife’s attentions the mere courtesies which all true women; Heard: Were not your wife’s attentions the mere curiosities which all true women
In paragraph beginning “The colonel!”

7:02
Text: The other day my wife induced me to take her; heard: The other day my wife introduced me to take her

Nothing else to change here, but you should be a little more careful on your wording. There were quite a few more instances of this type of error, though the words were close enough that I decided they were ok. Another instance I can think of was deprecated vs. depreciated.

One more observation. It sounds like you are reading a little bit too directly into the mic. If it's placed slightly beside you rather than in front, it will pick up fewer of the mouth noises that go naturally with speaking.

Thanks,
Verla
