[SOLO] Pan Michael by [Henryk Sienkiewicz] - philc

[philchenevert]

I should be able to get started recording the next chapter over the coming week.

Great David. Keep up the good work. And congratulations on being a polish citizen.

[DavidYoung]

Chapter 28 is now in post-production.

[DavidYoung]

Here is the latest:
Post-production is almost finished.
There are a handful of pick-ups I need to finish. However, they may need to be delayed by a week or two.
This is because my voice has not returned to normal after a ferocious throat infection last weekend. It would sound strange if a few sentences in the rest of the narration were recorded with a different sound from the rest.

Hopefully it should be ready a week on Sunday at the latest.

[Rapunzelina]

Ferocious! I'm glad you feel better now

[DavidYoung]

Number 28 is now ready for proof-listening.

[Rapunzelina]

Chapter 28 is PL OK! What drama!

[DavidYoung]

If all goes according to plan, the recording of the next parts will begin in about a week.

[DavidYoung]

There is a fault I need to rectify with three of the recordings.

While I was checking the pronunciation of a word, I discovered I have mispronounced it in three earlier recordings. The good news is that I am able to correct those recordings and they can be uploaded.

Is there a way to delete chapters 23, 24 and 25 so that I can upload the patched-up versions?

[Rapunzelina]

As long as you upload them with the same filename, they will replace the old files in the Magic Window, and I will do a spot-check proof listening to make sure

[DavidYoung]

Correction.

Chapter 25 is OK. It's only Chapters 23 and 24 that need replacing.
They are fixed and ready to be uploaded.

[DavidYoung]

OK. Here is what has been altered:
Chapter 23:

Zagłoba, however, had time to examine him; and having the words of Pan Michał fresh in his head, he said to Snitko, "We are glad to see you. I pray you, Pan Snitko, I know the escutcheon Hidden Moon,—a worthy escutcheon. But this Tartar, what is his name?"
[3:55]
"Mellechowicz."

[There are two versions of the text on the web page. The original had a comma where the text version had accidentally turned it into a full stop. I thought something sounded odd so I checked the scanned version and saw I had recorded it incorrectly.]


"But this Mellechowicz looks somehow like a wolf. Michał writes that he is a man of uncertain origin, which is a wonder, for all our Tartars are nobles, though Mohammedans. In Lithuania I saw whole villages inhabited by them. There people call them Lipki; but those here are known as Czeremis.

[I noticed I had said 'called' by mistake'.]

Also, the pronunciation of Bracław [5:40].

Chapter 24:

Pan Michał sent smaller parties as far as Bracław for news of the horde and Doroszenko.
[Opening paragraph]

I have uploaded and adjusted the times (each one is a second longer than before).

[Rapunzelina]

All checked for the fixes and PL OK!

[DavidYoung]

Update:
The next chapters will be uploaded some time between Christmas Day and New Year's Eve.

[DavidYoung]

I have a few chapters recorded, so post-production will begin shortly.

[DavidYoung]

Chapter 29 is ready for proof-listening.
