Angela is added as DPL. Have a good day, All!

I'll take sections 2 & 3 as well

Thanks!
Hi Jim!

PL's been completed for the first three sections--please see my feedback / edits needed below:

All sections (Preface, Introductory Remarks, and Section 1): Volume of recordings should be between 86 - 92 dB (or between -16 to -21 LUFS).

Please refer to this article (https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Tech_Specs) for the tech requirements of Librivox recordings. I also recommend downloading and using the Checker application to verify if each audio file meets said requirements.

Section 1 only:

12:35 Stumble / dropping out of sound at the end of the sentence. It came out as "... and John Pemberton of Philadel-mm..."

12:43 Another stumble / dropping out of sound. It sounds like "July 202-mm..."

Otherwise, great work narrating these sections. :) Please re-upload these for spot PL once you've made the edits requested.

Looking forward to PL'ing the other sections assigned to you--I like your style of reading. :)

Hi Claire. Thanks for uploading this section; I've just PL'ed it.

Please edit the file based on my feedback below:

* 0:44 - Please remove the stumble between 'of' and 'friends'
* 2:36 - Please add a short pause between 'afforded' (last word of the previous paragraph) and 'in the first edition...' (starting phrase of the next paragraph).
* 2:52 - There is a stumble in saying the word 'habituated' (i.e. i hear 'h-habituated'). Please remove this.
* 5:34 - Please remove the pause between 'as the' and 'fruit'
* 6:28 - Please remove the pause between 'might also be' and 'profitably added'
* 6:53 - Please shorten, if not eliminate, the pause between 'necessary parts' and 'of an'
* 7:07 - Please lengthen the pause, by a bit, between 'both to teachers and pupils' (ending of the previous paragraph) and 'It might also be...' (starting phrase of the next paragraph).

Once edited, please upload this so I can do spot PL. :)

Hey Claire!

This sounds much better, though the pause at the 2:36 mark sounds... off. Could you please edit it such that it is around a second long? The pause you did for the 7:07 mark is a perfect example of how long it should be. :)

Hi Claire,

Thanks for sending this through. Please see needed edits below:

1:02 please remove stumble / shorten pause betwen 'unbounded' and 'philanthropy'
2:39 please remove stumble / shorten pause betwen 'black' and 'people'
4:28 please shorten pause betwen 'communities' and 'and nations'
7:22 please shorten pause betwen 'religious' and 'welfare'
7:31 please shorten pause betwen 'every' and 'people'. Also, 'people' here sounded like 'preeple'
