I am cataloging a project today that has been around for 8 years You realise now that you've made NASA's New Horizons spacecraft feel bad. After all, it took 9 whole years to go from Earth to Pluto. It's embarrassing for a space probe that it can't leave the Solar System in less than the time it ta...

Section 13 - Chapter 12 - Burke and Wills's Expedition Across the Australian Continent completed and ready for PL. https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/australianexplorers_13_grimm_128kb.mp3 This is the sad chapter. There's a lot of Australian Colonial artwork associated with the Burke and Wills Exped...

Don't you hate when, on page 154 of your solo, you read: "It was Mrs. Smith's clear, quiet voice that broke in upon the almost painful hush...." And you've given Mrs. Smith (an old lady) a creaky voice throughout the book? :shock: Sorry, Ms. Authoress - I will not redo the voice because you waited ...

I thought maybe to dripfeed the chapters in one per Short Stories collection.

A project of mine ("Sandy's Selection") recently stalled and got backed up for lack of progress. I thought that some of the half-dozen or so chapters that I did record might go well in the Short Story Collection. They've not been published elsewhere in LV because, as noted, that Sandy's Selection pr...

“Nouns Slow Down Our Speech” ———————————————— “"We discovered that in this diverse sample of languages, there is a robust tendency for slow-down effects before nouns as compared to verbs," explain Bickel and Seifart.

Perhaps the trick here is to use Librivox Jujutsu and turn the offenders' artistic transgressions to one's own advantage. Or, if you prefer ... “Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.” Is there anything to prevent a professional voice artist from promoting themselves...

Actually, with me it comes out more as “so-shull”.

The short-tempered soldier Captain Pouts for me please.

How come the only other ranks that wants to advertise his status with signs on his garden gate is the Private?
