Hope you like it!

Hi J0lly! Congrats on your first few Librivox recordings! You have a great tone and cadence. PL OK for section 5!

Poor Nelly can't seem to catch a break. I was worried it was going to be something worse with her grandma, but this is just as bad!

Hello! Congrats on your first Librivox recording. You have a nice pace and clear voice! There are some areas that do need to be fixed, which I've outlined below. I've listed the times from the end of the reading back to the beginning. If edits are completed in this order (end to beginning), there shouldn't be any issues with the timing within the recording that I've noted.

It looks like a long list, but most of these are areas where you simply need to delete a duplicate since you already fixed it. The rest will be small sections that you'll need to re-record to fix that portion. If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Ending - Please shorten the down to 5 seconds of silence after the outro. Currently it's closer to 8 seconds.
Around 22:09 - repeat of "ask for a second-hand one."
Around 21:28 - repeat of "She is a real good-natured woman"
Around 20:38 - heard "and then don't disappoint her" should be "and then disappoint her"
Around 20:02 - stumble on "This resolution brought Nelly..."
Around 19:21 - 19:24 - apparent background noise during ""Poor thing!" said another lady in the parlour to her companion; "if she never learns to read till Almira remembers"
Around 17:48 - stumble on "to happen which put them out of her head"
Around 16:30 - stumble on "the book Mrs. Vandake had promised her."
Around 16:13 - heard "Nelly followed her the advice," should be "Nelly followed the advice,"
Around 15:38 - heard "but there will be no harm in your typing." should be "but there will be no harm in your trying."
Around 14:55 - repeat of "stopping at the gate" (your second take was perfect, but the initial take needs to be removed)
Around 14:40 - stumble on "She had already determined that the first..."
Around 14:25 - heard "She had not only preserved and..." should be "She had not only persevered and..." (pronounced purr-suh-veered)
Around 13:17 - repeat of irreverent in "to hear this irreverent speech"
Around 12:51 - repeat of murmured in "murmured the old woman,"
Around 12:23 - repeat of to carry in "to carry them back to all the splendours"
Around 11:53 - repeat of this one in "He says this one was"
Around 11:37 - repeat of colleges in "out beyond the colleges"
Around 10:58 - repeated would in "use she would make of her ten cents"
Around 9:39 - longer pause between "she knew how to read." and "Granny will wonder what has become of me." (just need to remove a bit of the silence to make it shorter)
Around 8:40 - stumble on "boldness in talking to the strange gentleman."
Around 8:32 - repeated "Yes; she is at Mrs. Birch's boarding-school."
Around 7:51 - repeated "stood" within "The gentleman with the sketch-book stood looking down"
Around 6:51 - heard "but bending down her neck" should be "but bending down her head"
Around 6:07 - stumble on "and low after the little girl if Nelly lingered behind for a moment"
Around 5:00 - repeated "said she" (your second take was perfect, but the initial take needs to be removed)
Around 4:48 - stumble on "which represented her handkerchief,"
Around 3:10 - repeated "just dozing" within "but just dozing a wink"
Around 2:34 - heard "...and got took up by the phone" should be "...and got took up by the police"
Around 1:31 - heard "...and to wait with patience for them to make their path plain" should be "...and to wait with patience for him to make their path plain
Opening - Please only leave .5 - 1 second of silence before your intro. Currently it's around 4 seconds, so needs to be shortened down.

Once any edits are completed, please re-upload the file, under the same name, and post the link in this thread letting us know updates are completed, as well as the new run time of the recording. I'll then be able to do a spot check to make sure those areas were corrected.
