Thanks! Still hoping for a DPL.

Once again, great reading Foon!

Chapter 20 - PL OK!

Chapter 21 - 1:25 - The text reads: "I didn't come here to be abused!", I hear "I didn't come here to be accused!" Everything else sounds fine!

Thanks Jennifer!

I personally hear "abused"--might be my accent? Do you want me to re-record the line?

I'll have my husband listen to that as well, and we'll let him decide, if that works for you? It may be your accent, but this is the first one that I've listened to you that would have happened - I've your accent!

Just sampled the recording.....

So, make these changes and upload it again under the same name along with the file length, and it will be ready for a full proof listen -- as soon as we get a DPL on board....

Great! I’ll make the corrections ASAP.

I just had him listen without telling him what he was listening for and asking him what you said, and he heard accused as well. I would say go ahead and rerecord that line, does that sound okay? If it helps try saying the "bu" sound in the word "beautiful", so it would be a"beau"sed. We were trying to come up with a bu sound in a regular word and that is the only one I can come up with besides buick, and I'm not sure you would know that one for sure, and beautiful, even though it's not spelled the same, sounds the same. English is weird!

[Foon]

Yeah sure, that's fine! I'll try my best making it sound clearer ... when the construction workers next door take a break, that is

Larry, I didn't know if it was all right for me to add those to the magic window, so I didn't.

Jennifer,
I uploaded a new version--is this better?

Yes! That sounds perfect!

Well, general I like to put the links in the MW as the BC, but I don't mind if the DPL gets to it first. That said, it is good practice to listen only to the link in the MW. This is to make sure that the link that is actually there works and points to the right file. It's rare, but things can go wrong in the process of putting things in the MW

I read your notes on Foon's recording. It is kind of borderline, and one of those things I'd usually let pass under "standard PL" criteria. I usually don't follow the text, and check it only if there is something that jumps out at me as wrong. People differ on this, and some do follow the text, at least loosely to make sure something is not left out. Poetry is one example where following the text closely, even for standard PL is a good idea because so much is dependent on word choice -- rhyme, meter, etc.

But, you're doing fine, and I'm grateful to have you on board.

(If you want to read some, I'll PL for your )

[silverquill]

I would like sections 4, 5, and 6 please.

Thank you,

Nan

They are all yours!
Thanks.

I tend to follow to the text loosely and only mention something when it changes the meaning of the text, in which this one would have even though it was just an accent difference - abused and accused are quite different, and in the context of the text would have been confusing to the listener. Does that make sense? If it's just a pronunciation difference or if the meaning is the same but a different word or a different order of words are used, I don't say anything, or I may mention it but leave it up to the reader to decide if they would like to correct if it's much different. I certainly will differ to you, though, as the book coordinator if you think that's too much. OH! I would love to read, but I have so little recording time and a solo I'm trying to concentrate when I can record, so I'll have to decline for right now.

[silverquill]

Yep, you're just fine.
I don't try to second-guess my proof listeners, so call them as you hear them!

We'll get along just fine.
