Hello,
May I read for sections 51 and 52?

Hi Bobby
Welcome to Librivox
As this will be your first recording I have assigned section 51 to you and will ask you to complete that section first after which I will assign you other sections. Let's take one step at a time.
Good Luck

Here is section 51. Please let me know if I need to make any changes.

Hi
Thank you for your recording
It is well read and passes all the technical spec checks
Just a couple of PL notes on the text:
at 0.04 say Read for Librivox.org you left off the .org
at 0.39 the text is That culture which makes never wan but you pronounce wan as wain when it should be w-aa-n (meaning pale and lifeless)
otherwise ok!

I have now also assigned you section 52 which you also requested.

Section 32
File Duration 1:58

PL notes for section 32:
the text is correct and your recording passes Checker
but a few minor corrections are needed:
at 0.00 the opening silence should be 0.5 to 1 second
at 0.06 say Read for Librivox.org
at 1.49 say End of poem rather than the title

Here is section 34 with the pauses:

And here is section 35:
https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/battlepieces_35_melville_128kb.mp3
Let me know if you have any more notes!

For section 34:
The start and end silences are still not correct but I have corrected them myself so this can now be marked PL OK!

For section 35:
The text is correct but again the start and end are incorrect. I have corrected this one as well so it can also be marked PL OK!

Please try to get these issues right on future recordings.
