Here's Chapter 1, duration 10:07. Sorry for the delay--during the hot weather I stopped recording as my recording setup is in a rather hot room under a wool blanket tent.
This conversation reminded me of some real ones that I've heard...

May I read Chapter 3?
Back from a low-internet no-Librivox year in Georgia. Glad to be with you again.
Thank you for chapter 1! It sounds great. It's word-perfect - I just have one note about 5:26, "sarcastic little drawl." There appears to be a bit of distortion happening over "little drawl."JoannaHoyt wrote: ↑July 3rd, 2021, 12:02 pm Here's Chapter 1, duration 10:07.

The timing is not a problem at all, and in fact, this is a pretty quick turnaround! As long as recordings are in by the two-month deadline, it's all good.
I did want to mention one thing that you don't need to make any changes to this recording for, but can just keep in mind for future recordings. I'm noticing some clipping during dialogue that's at higher volumes. You might want to look into the compressor tool in Audacity - that way, you can reduce spikes in audio without clipping off the peaks of waveforms.
By the way, good catch on the "Mr. Foster" in the text that should be "Mrs. Foster"! This text has quite a few typos and OCR errors.
For the time being, I'll need a little more time than usual to PL sections that come in on weekdays. Thanks for your patience.

Thank you! I will redo the little drawl, and I am glad to know about the compressor tool--I didn't know about that. And I forgot to double-check with you about Mr/Mrs Foster--I couldn't make sense of it as written but I did mean to acknowledge I'd deviated from the printed text. (I think the only other change I made was a glaringly obvious typo.)Scarbo wrote: ↑July 3rd, 2021, 2:48 pmThank you for chapter 1! It sounds great.

Chapter 3 is read, but it may take me a while to edit it. (Compressor does help--thank you!)

PL OK! Thank you! And no hurry at all on chapter 3. Glad the compressor is coming in handy!JoannaHoyt wrote: ↑July 4th, 2021, 12:18 pm Here's the revised Chapter 1, duration 10:08:

Certainly, thank you for claiming! Before you record this chapter, I would strongly suggest completing a 1-minute test first. It's not an audition, it's just to make sure that your tech specs are set up correctly and to check for any sound problems.
Could you also let me know what name you'd like to appear under in the catalog?
Welcome to LV, and feel free to ask if you have questions about anything!

Here's Chapter 3. Sorry... when I said it might take me a while to edit I wasn't expecting this much delay. This summer has just gotten a bit ahead of me.
What an interesting book. I find myself oscillating between sympathy for Gertrude and her author trying to find a reasonable way of being women in a world with most unreasonable expectations, and feeling vexed with their way of seeing poorer folks...

Thank you for chapter 3 - it sounds great! And the timing is not a problem at all. I tend to take much more time getting my recordings to where I want them, so I'd be a hypocrite if I were impatient about sections of projects I'm coordinating.JoannaHoyt wrote: ↑July 28th, 2021, 6:38 pm Here's Chapter 3.

I have just a few notes:
- At 18:01, "and the girl drew back," the R in "drew" isn't quite audible.
- At 20:57, "It would not look well," "look" is a little below the audible level.
Yes, although I can appreciate that their perspective is compassionate, they seem to have a rather patronizing attitude towards people less privileged than they are. But I loved Gertrude's realization about Mr. Martin in this chapter!
For the time being, I'll need a little more time than usual to PL sections that come in on weekdays. Thanks for your patience.

Yes, I also love Gertrude's realization about Martin--and his utter inability to understand where she is coming from rings sadly true too.Scarbo wrote: ↑July 29th, 2021, 6:52 pmThank you for chapter 3 - it sounds great!

I've patched the spots you mentioned. Thank you. Luckily the 18:01 was an easy patch as it was a short sentence with a different voice on either side...
