Thank you! These are fine except that the beginning silence for Section 25 is too long, at two seconds. It can be no longer than one second, between 0:5 and 1:0

Just trim that, please, and upload under the same file name and post here again.

Pars Summae

1 min 23 sec

In English it literally translates into: the stark part. Interesting title.

Thank you.
Just a few things that need attention:

1) The silences at the end and beginning need to be adjusted. You will find the values in the reading instructions in the head post for the project, but they are -- Beginning 0:5 - 1:0 seconds (you have about 2) and at the end about 5 seconds and you have about only 1.

2) Since the recording begins with the title of the poem, you don't need to repeat it. That can be cut. And the pauses between the intro and the beginning are too long, and also between the end of the reading and the "outro" In the audio format this is uncomfortable for the listener. I usually try for about one second or 1 1/2 at the most.

3). There are some bumps and snaps that you can cut out. I found ones at the following times: 0:12, 1:04, 2:27 2:30.5

Optional, but I also find the longer pauses in the reading itself too long. That is a matter of personal style, of course, but I think it would flow better if they were shorter. At some point you might give some consideration to your recording space and microphone placement because there is a lot of reverb in your audio --- the "hollow room" effect. There is a lot of information about that, but we can discuss that later if you like.

Just upload your corrected file under the same name, post the link here again along with the new length as mm:ss

Thank you for you reading!
