Hi Lynette, I've uploaded Ch 23 "Basil and Cleopatra" again. I can hear it. I must have messed it up last time. https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/ ... gerald.mp3

Story 17, "Basil: The Freshest Boy," is PL OK :ugeek:

Looks like a whole streak of stories with the same character!

- and I've traded out the old URL for the new on 23 - works like a charm now, and it's added into my queue 8-)

Hey, Adrian - Scott sends his compliments. He overheard me listening to the last two stories, and says, "That's a very pleasant reading voice to listen to." :)

On story 21, at 43:34, I noticed a repeat of "now" at end of that sentence.

Story 23, "Basil & Cleopatra," and Story 24, "The Last of the Belles," are both PL OK :ugeek: :ugeek:

And I did not notice anything annoying in 23. Being quite familiar with your voice, I could tell on 22 and that one that your voice was off its norm, but nothing was the least bit off-putting in either one.

On Story 25, "Rough Crossing," there is one long pause at 23:06 that needs to be trimmed. Everything otherwise is perfectly happy.

Story 26, "Majesty," is PL OK :ugeek:

And now I've caught up to you. 8-)

Hi Lynette,
I have uploaded a new story At Your Age https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/ ... gerald.mp3

I hope I've fixed the 2 bugs as well :D

Hi, Adrian :)


Story 21, "The Perfect Life," is PL OK now :ugeek:

Story 25, "The Rough Crossing," still has that super long pause

In Story 17, "At Your Age," there is a spot where "Annie" slipped into "Andy", in this sentence starting at 17:30 (and while you have the file open for editing, it might be nice to amplify the volume a couple decibels so it's not noticeably softer than your other sections) -

'"Wasn't she terrible?" said Annie, breathing aloud.
