I noticed that section 42 is listed as section 43 in the mw
AND
that I swapped the times for sections 44 & 45
44= 16:18
45=22:45

Thank you! I've updated the MW and think I have everything straight now.baddogcathy wrote: ↑April 22nd, 2024, 5:13 pm sections 43,44,45

Double check and let me know if more adjustments need to be made.
Thanks for your contributions to this project!
As soon as our DPL is able, you will have your listening reports.

I've assigned you 13-15. Have fun with all those butterflies, beetles, and bees!
Thank you!
I am providing the links for all 3 sections below. Some of the pronunciations were challenging, to put it mildly, but it’s fascinating stuff!

Yes, I know there are some challenges within these pages. As long as you just do your best, that is all we ask.marisad6 wrote: ↑April 27th, 2024, 2:00 pm

I've entered these in the MW, Ready for PL.
Thank you so much!

Excellent reading and so easy to listen to.
Only a few small things to take care of
SEC 43 - The opening silence is a bit over one second, so please trim it by about half a second, and the ending silence is close to seven seconds, and we need something closer to five seconds.
Section 44 at about 1:45 the text is: "one marine, the other a denizen of rivers and lakes"
I hear something like, "deziens." Normally pronunciation is outside the purview of standard PL, so this is an optional correction. It did quite jump out at me though.
Just upload any corrected files under the original file name and post the length again with the time.
I hope we will hear a LOT more of your voice here on LibriVox!

Well, I'm marking these PL OK. The volume on some of these was a bit low, but still in our range, and other specs are just fine.marisad6 wrote: ↑April 27th, 2024, 2:00 pm

By way of general comment, these do suffer from the way they are edited. It is an issue we all face -- getting our patches to sound natural as a consistent part of the recording. Here a a few personal hints that may help.
First, in my raw recording, I try my best to make corrections for things as they occur. I may repeat a word or phrase several times until it sounds right, and then go on with the recording. Then, in editing, it is easier to cut out the retakes, etc., than trying to record corrections to insert.
Still, I usually find things that I still didn't get right or corrected properly and need to record a patch. The most important thing is to do this editing and patch recording in the same sitting or recording session. This way, my voice sounds pretty much the same. It is very difficult to get a good match at another time, at least that is true for me. My environment may be just a bit different, or the set up varies somewhat. Even our voices are slightly different from day to day, or even with the time of day. I used to record a batch of stuff and then edit it later, but try not to do that these days. It never really comes out right for me
The second principle, whether correcting in the initial recording, or when editing in corrections, is to record a longer phrase or sentence, rather than a single word of short phrase. It will almost always sound like an obvious patch, a pot hole that still bumps. I try to find a natural break in the flow of my narrative, and begin there to another natural break. After awhile, I think we become familiar with our own reading rhythm so that this becomes more intuitive.
Now, with all of that, let me assure you that you really are a good reader! I've been DPL for nearly 500 projects, so I know the good from the not so good. You are decidedly in the GOOD category. I hope we'll hear a lot more of your voice here on LibriVox!

Thank you so much, Larry! I truly appreciate your kind words, & your feedback is super helpful. You have given me a lot to think about in terms of editing in the future. I am always looking for ways to improve, especially when it comes to patches. Also, I realized after recording these that I’ll need to try something different next time when reading a text with a lot of words that are difficult to pronounce. I think these sections had the most that I’ve come across so far, but I find these old science texts fascinating, & would love to do more!silverquill wrote: ↑May 5th, 2024, 6:38 pmWell, I'm marking these PL OK.

my file had <1sec at the beginning. I have no idea how these things work, but I trimmed it down as far as I dare, so hopefully it is ok now.
