Jim in Ohio

Why are more astronauts from Ohio than any other state? Because it’s so bad that they want to leave earth entirely!

Narrator Chapter 1:

This author is SO fortunate to have you as Narrator Jim. Your clear and enthusiatic voice is a joy to listen to!

0:32 missing last part of intro just after "Narrator, Jim Hedrick" should be "Pollyanna of the Orange Blossoms. Chapter 1: When the Game Played Itself."
3:15 should be "Accordingly the dining-table was piled"; I heard "Accordingly the dining room table was piled"

Good catch on those errors — the corrections have been uploaded.

Here's Mrs. Tibbetts, Chapter 6: https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/pollyannaoftheorangeblossoms_mrstibbetts_06.mp3 (0:35)

I normally apply Noise Reduction to all my files before upload, but I read somewhere that DR files need to be as little processed as possible so they don't get distorted in the editing process, so I didn't this time. Let me know if you want me to noise reduce, as I know my environment isn't very quiet.

Cheers,
Winnifred

Judith Thayer Chapter 5 Awesome voice acting! You have the air of condescension spot on! Since it is Word Perfect PL, I have these notes:

2:54 should be " “I suppose it depends on what you’ve been used to." I heard “I suppose it depends on what you're used to."

2:56 should be "Perhaps you came from a small town" I heard "Perhaps you come from a small town"

3:18 should be "And, while it hasn’t " I heard "And, while it hadn’t"

3:25 should be "it's a real city" I heard "It was a real city"

3:32 should be "there’s nothing here that’s what you’d call a novelty to me.”
I heard "there’s nothing here what you’d call a novelty to me.”

3:40 should be "You have to get those cakes at a confectioner’s, don’t you?”
I heard "You have to get these cakes at a confectioner’s, don’t you?”

4:51 should be "who could amuse herself " I heard "who's used to amuse herself"

4:57 should be "or feeding the elephants" I heard "or feeding elephants"

5:02 should be "excitements of city life" I heard "excitements of a city life"

5:06 should be "Didn't you feel like slapping me?" I heard "Don't you feel like slapping me?"

Checker doesn't like these for background noise. I've done one pass of Noise Reduction. Hopefully you'll be able to bring them into line with the other files for the chapters.
