lovely book, I enjoyed reading the chapter, the tundra and the lesson --too much is always an evil..

That was quite an interesting story about the village and what a horrible ending for some of the people. People can never be satisfied with what they have.

Nice job with the recording. It was two words away from being PL OK.

41:16 should be "end of chapter 11" not "end of section 11". It is correct in the introduction. Just that one small change and it should be PL OK.

Thanks,

M

Notes for chapter 14:

Nicely read. There are a few repeats that need to be removed as well as the ending text added.
  • 3:04 please delete "and then they knew this was" as it is corrected at 3:05 "and they knew this and kept away"
    11:21 please delete "unless his story of" as it is corrected at 11:23 "unless this story of thousands to the south were one"
    19:09 repeat of "the" in "to lie in the little hollows of the clay"
    27:06 please delete "Joe answered for himself, rushing out of the tent and flying by the great boatswain of the Bowhead,—who else would it " as it is corrected at 27:13 "Joe answered for himself, rushing out of the tent and flying by the great boatswain of the Bowhead,—for who else would it be?—into his father’s arms. "
    28:25 and 28:31 are duplicates of each other "Therefore he had come up again this summer, whaling, but determined to lose no chance to get news of them. "
    needs "end of chapter 14 added before the 5 seconds of silence at the end
Thanks,

OK, that's fine.
I see you signed up for a poem in another project I'm also reading for. Finish that up, and you'll get an idea of how the process works. I assume Alan added you to the LV catalog.

I've added you in for Section 6, so just click on your name in the MW to view your personal reader page. This is where you can track all of your LV projects of which I hope there will be many!

WELCOME TO LIBRIVOX :clap:
I said I would check in after a month so here it is. I messed up with the timing for the poem read. Too bad but lesson learned. For this project however I am on track. I have done the reading and most of the editing. It will get it submitted soon.
Here is Chapter 6

https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/youngicewhalers_06_packard_128kb.mp3

duration: 41:11

I had a lot of fun recording, and learned a lot. I look forward to any feedback from my submission. :thumbs:
My apologies for the delay in getting this to you. I listened to it but somehow missed updating LibriVox. :?

It was nicely read. There are just a few comments.

please reduce volume by at least 1.5 dB but ideally by about 4 dB (to near the LibriVox ideal of 89 dB)
At about 5:38 please change "east" to "west" in "the wind came in again from the west"

Thanks,

M

Terrific, but what else to expect from someone from Iowa. :D

Just got back from Cedar Rapids, Marion to be precise, and we had wonderful weather. Such a change from previous February trips to Iowa.

This is PL OK.

Thanks,

No problem at all, and thank you for the feedback. I figured out how to decrease the volume, and I got the incorrect reading replaced. Here is the link.
