Hi! Can I nab chapter 7? This will be my first recording, if it is possible! I had a look over the chapter and it doesn't look particularly difficult. When I have some time (this weekend), I'll read over the chapter very closely and list some of the words (particularly names) that I might find chall...

Hi everyone, I thought I'd direct you guys to my test file so maybe you can understand some of my insecurities about using my voice to read serious subjects. :| This thread has given me some confidence, though! :D My file is in this thread: http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=368856#368856 I t...

Hi Ryan, That made me laugh! :lol: Certainly there isn't anything wrong with being proud of your name. But... in your case... maybe you're a little over the top! :wink: Everyone else, I doubt anyone else has subscribed to this topic other than myself, but if anyone is still looking here, I have crea...

Wow, thank you everyone! This topic has really given me a lot of confidence to just read whatever interests me, even if that does happen to be children's stories, fairy tales, and romance novels! :oops: @KiltedDragon : I'm glad to hear you had the confidence to read unfamiliar words/names that are n...

Choosing a genre suited for your voice
Hi all, I've been thinking a lot about this: should we choose a genre that is suited for our voices? I think it would help the atmosphere of the book. For example, a deep voice is probably best for mystery novels. 8-) I think I will get a lot of answers saying that we should just read what we are in...

Hi Esther! Thank you for the welcome! Not only are we fellow Canadians, but also fellow Ontarioians (is that a word?)! :lol: If a USB recording device bypasses the sound card... then I really have no answer as to why the recording is so quiet. I'll try some recordings on my desktop computer. Maybe t...

Thanks Kara! I'll message him right away. I have to wait for my husband to get home to install Audacity on the Arch Linux and Gentoo machines. I only know how to apt-get on Ubuntu! I used Debian about four years ago! It was my introduction to Linux! :D Lucky you on OS X. I am trying to get my KDE De...

Hello again Ruth. Thanks for all of the info! I have come to the conclusion that my laptop's sound card is not sophisticated enough for this type of task (I don't have the mic boost option). I'll experiment with our desktop computer and other laptop. Surely one of them has a decent sound card and a ...

Uh oh... :oops: My voice goes just very slightly above 0.0. Is there a way I can upload a sample and perhaps some audio savvy people can give me some pointers? I am nearly eating my microphone. I have a USB headset which I am testing with. I also have a microphone that plugs in to my microphone jack...

Hi Ruth! Thanks for the welcome. :) Yes, I have checked that the recording volume is as high as it can go. I am using Ubuntu Linux. I go to the volume in the top right corner, click volume control, choose the USB device, choose the recording tab, and make sure the slider is all the way up. I do the ...
