Chapter 14 needs a few things fixed.

The volume is currently at 84 dB, which is a bit low. We would like that to be at about 89 dB. So you will need to amplify by 5 dB to get it up to that target volume.

The bit rate is currently at 320 kbps, this needs to be changed to 128 kbps.

The recording is in Stereo, that needs to be changed to Mono.

At 3:02-:05 what you say doesn't match the text, and at the end of it, it starts in the middle of the next sentence. I recommend recording the two sentences again, then copy/paste that in the right spot.

At 4:24-:28, there is a long pause in the middle of the paragraph. You just need to cut out most of that pause.

At 5:58, there is a small stumble that needs to be clipped out.

At 11:12 is another stumble needing to be clipped out.

At the very end, you need to add about 2 seconds of silence, there is currently only 3 seconds, and we need that to be about 5-6 seconds.

When you get those things fixed, please use the correct file name, which is campfiregirlsacrosstheseas_14_vandercook_128kb.mp3

If you are going to re-record, I have a little advice. Move your microphone a little to the side, because you had a lot of 'plosives, which is when your breath hits the mic when you say certain letters, like 'p' and 't'. You are doing great otherwise, great job for your first recording!

Thank you! What is the time duration for your recording? It's just so that I can make sure that I have the whole file. Sometimes, very rarely, the internet likes to take tiny bites out of things.
