Sure! Before I can assign it, what name would you like to be represented by in the catalog? This could be your real name, username, or anything else you'd like. Thanks!
I'll go with my real name--Rebecca Richman
Thanks! You are assigned! Btw, The Count's Courtship would be section 3 since The Almond Tree is split into two parts.

Updates are complete section 6 run time 15:8:30. Thank you for your review. I am still learning this platform so this is helpful. I do not see 7 seconds at the end of the recording though, it looks to me to be at 5 (maybe it changed with corrections). Can you please let me know I can adjust if needed. Is there any easier or more exact way to measure?
Great job with the edits! Spot PL OK! We all start out new, and it definitely takes a little bit of time to get into the swing of things, but you're doing great!

The silence at the end is all good now at 5 seconds. If you're using Audacity, I usually have Audacity up on one side of my screen, and the reading on the other. Then I can watch the playbar and do a quick 5 second count at the end before I stop the recording. I find it helpful to keep an eye on it as well to make sure my volume looks good as I'm recording (no major variations, too close or too far from the mic as I naturally move my head, etc.). I tend to be more of a 'correct errors as I go along' instead of editing everything at the end, but I know quite a few people also like to edit after they've completed the whole recording. Ultimately, it'll come down to whatever you find works best for you. The more you record, the more time you'll have to find what setup works best for you.

I look forward to listening to more of your recordings!
Cheers,
Claire

Another great reading, however it looks like there's a section that was missed.

Around 17:57 - after "It was like this - " (page 243) jumps to "On that particular night..." (page 244). So missing a few paragraphs from "For years..." through "what odd things come up with the water."
Cheers,
Claire

Huh... I have no idea how I missed nearly a whole page! Anyway, it should be fixed now. :)

Happens to the best of us! Honestly it was quite seamless. I probably wouldn't have noticed if I weren't reading along. Spot PL OK! I also updated the timing in the MW to reflect the new time of 66:19 (hope I didn't step on your toes with that).
Cheers,
Claire
