Thank you, A. Williams! I didn't have a chance to PL chapter 5 today, but I hope to by tomorrow, Saturday at the latest.
For the time being, I'll need a little more time than usual to PL sections that come in on weekdays. Thanks for your patience.

Chapter 29 is all yours - thank you for claiming! Before you start recording, I'd recommend completing a 1-minute test first. It's not an audition, and it's not required, but it's a way of checking your recording software settings and making sure that there aren't any sound problems. If you have questions about anything, I'll be happy to help!

Thanks again for this chapter - nicely done! I have just a few notes:

- At 17:50, "always wary and reticent by nature," I hear "always warry and reticent by nature"
- I'm seeing in Checker that the sampling rate is 48 kHz but should be 44.1 kHz. If you go to your Audacity settings and change the default sample rate under the Quality tab per these instructions, then import the file and export it again, that should fix it! Let me know if you have any questions.

Certainly! Thank you for claiming!

Thanks for the update! You're well within the two-month timeframe, so no rush. :)

Attempt 2! I have updated the quoted portion (warry to wear-y) and adjusted the settings to import/export.

Chapter 16 is done.

https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/darkstar_16_chambers_128kb.mp3

That was a fun one, though I'm not sure I ever want to say the word Scheherazade ever again!

I can pick up another chapter, including 24 with its ethnic slurs.

Thank you!

Thank you for chapter 16! It's nicely done, and I enjoyed your expressiveness of Neeland's mirth. I have just one note: at 21:20, "and her eyes brilliant with starting tears," you say "and her eyes brilliant with tears."

Chapter 24 is all yours - thank you for claiming! If I remember correctly, this one should probably give you a little break from "Scheherazade." :lol:
