I'd like to try either Bruno or Lippo, whichever you think my voice works better for?

I'm not sure. Which would you prefer?

Can I try for Bruno, then.

Sure!

I probably won't have the rest up this quickly, but like before, if there's something fundamentally wrong, let's fix it early.

This should be PL OK!
Henrietta after looking around a little it seems that the only PL notes on chapter 1 were these two:

Hi Keith! When you get the chance to work on the file for this missing line, could you also add the phrase "Cast of characters" at the beginning? We can then use it either in chapter one, or in the foreword, for the list of character that would go "Cast of characters: Narrator read by Keith Salis, etc."

&

I have only one PL note for chapter 1. The script is missing a narrator line in the middle of page 5 at 2:00 -- "said Mea." I checked and unfortunately that specific line did not appear elsewhere in the chapter so I think we need to record this.

Is that correct?

Well, it was a good deal longer than I expected, but here are the first couple chapters of Kurt:

https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/maezli_kurt_02.mp3 (3:54)

I ought to be able to finish the rest by the end of the week. I'll also be around to make adjustments if needed.

Chapter 2 is PL OK!
I have a PL NOTE for chapter 1:
At around 5:48 I hear: "Just mark now if we don't hear about the ghost of Wallerstätten,"
when the text says: "Just mark now if we won't hear about the ghost of Wallerstätten,"

Well, here's the rest of Kurt! I also found some errors in the script, though I was watching out specifically for Kurt.

I also have a PL Note for Chapter 3:
At around 0:47 you skipped this line: "He can't get an excuse for saying that he had to finish his morning song."
Chapter 4,5 & 9 are PL OK!

Thank you for the PL, I'll get that missing line added!


Thank you also for the note on chapter 1 - I often prefer to fix this kind of error when it comes to my attention, and I'll see how well a fix on this one sounds.

But as some readers might not know this themselves, please be careful in future to mention that such small changes are optional. With Standard PL (even when you have to read a long to make sure everything is there), we don't worry too much unless an error really changes the meaning. Just how much the meaning can change is a call for the BC to make, but if they want to be really picky, they'll chose Word Perfect PL instead of Standard.

Okay! Thanks for letting me know.

Good! I just had to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

Well, I chose a rather ugly person to record, didn't I?

Here is Mrs. Knippel:

Bumping this post so Mrs. Knippel can get in the MW

You guys are doing a great job

Here are Narrator Ch 1, resubmitted with "Cast of Characters," and added Mea annotations. 13:58
and Narrator Ch2. 29:42.

I have a PL NOTE for chapter 2 (you may not have to fix depending on what BC Henrietta says) :
In the very beginning of the recording you say "Narrator read by...." this is only meant to be in the beginning of Chapter 1. But this is really up to Henrietta. What do you think Henrietta? This would be the only PL NOTE.

I also noticed that there was a line that was meant to be spoken by Maezli but was instead marked for Uncle Philip. It was this line: Uncle Philip: "This is for mother for her mending" Mäzli called out looking with suspense at her uncle's fingers.

Thank you so much for helping clear out the MW!

Here is Maezli in chapter 2: https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/maezli_maezli_02.mp3 (3:00)

Missing one line at 1:55 (top of page 21): "Uncle Phipp! Uncle Phipp!"

Great recording!
I think this was the only PL NOTE...if so then this is PL OK!
