Hi Anooshka!
You have passed and are ready to record! Happy narrating!

[published 1910 so in PD] David Graham Phillips 1867-1911 White Magic: A Novel by David Graham Phillips This would appeal to anyone who's looking for A Great Gatsby style American novel. Upper class machinations. I could see it as either a solo or group. I suggested it a long time ago. Nobody seems ...

I have listened again; I see that you are doing your best. The fact that it is so hard to deal to remove by noise reduction makes me sure that it is some internal electronic noise. Yes, swapping to another USB port is worth a try. I will put the file in my DAW and have a look at it. I had a look in ...

Sections 7, 8, 9 are all PL OK. BUT I do have to say something about section 9. It has a serious level of background noise; I only note this when it is in my opinion an impediment to the listener's best experience. I often let chair scrapes etc go. But here in section 9: 1. In Checker it's 44 which ...

He has agreed to join us this Monday, introduce himself, answer questions, maybe ask for a volunteer. I had a 15 minute session with Dane earlier this year, via Zoom, and it made a difference...

Yes unless some wacky government makes it February 29.

Hi! Sorry for the late response. It took me a while to realize someone had responded to my test. Still figuring out how things work around here. I have been having some microphone troubles, mainly with getting a loud enough volume, which is partly why I have been putting it so close to my mouth, I ...

https://librivox.org/uploads/tests/Ellie_Kram_1-Minute_Test.mp3 Thank you in advance for checking my sample. I ran it through the checker program and it only reported issues with the naming of the sample, which I will change in future exports. Program: Audacity Microphone: Yeti Blue USB w/ Pop Filt...

Section 5 is PL OK. One thing to note though is that I did hear some background noise; I ran the Checker and got a higher background noise level than in prior sections. This was the first section when I noticed any. It sounded like faint TV or people talking. I haven't been using my headphones. I w...
