LibriVox Forum

Thanks for the feed back lurcherlover. Edit - I thought you meant another link ... I was doing the same thing with my practice reading with the book I have chosen ... I leave my response though as the same thing is happening in it) - I guess I am stuck in a particular style working on one book. ____...

Not at all. I can sense your just trying to help. My dyslexia is getting worse. I'll tell you guys what. You have my one minute test. If you like what you hear (and think I have potential) feel free to PM me. This past time was meant to be something I could use to assist my dyslexia. I also have got...

Thus far I have had no response to my 1-minute test. I appreciate it takes time, but given the issue of copyright laws being different 'in Australia' having 1st been brought to my attention - I feel compelled to ask: ... is there an admin of LibriVOX or someone with an authority, that could let me k...

Thank you the clarification.

You have restored my vigor.

If no objections, I will then go ahead when I am ready and create a post in the 'New Projects Launch Pad' forum category.

It's been brought to my attention because I live in Australia, that I may not be able to read the following book. Within You Is the Power (First Published - by Henry Thomas Hamblin - (19 March 1873 – 28 October 1958) I first found it here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?query=within+you+is...

Hi there LJB I used to own the Blue Yeti when I first tried my hand at this a few years ago. I know well what you mean about it's sensitivity. After researching many hours today and yesterday I am now in two minds about which mic I will get. Despite finding a very negative YouTube Review who complet...

I'll work on that microphone placement and use the one minute test to get things just right. I'm looking to get myself a USB Blue Yeti microphone in about 4 weeks time. For now I am just practicing my technique and still deciding on the best place to do my recordings as I have others in the house I ...

That's reassuring to hear.

Thanks for the link and taking the time to reply.

I note the post entitled 'What if I Suck?' I'm glad I am not the only one that is worried about such a thing. I've heard some pretty talented narrators on librivox and it makes me wonder if i will be up to the task. I would really appreciate if anyone would be kind enough to check my 'sound cloud li...

As a newbie, I am still struggling with how to handle parentheses? I am reading non fiction and whilst there is still expression within the text, I often come by a lot of parentheses words and phrases. Sometimes I think it's best to leave them out or at the very least, speak the parentheses words an...

Thx mightyfelix,

Much appreciated.

Helena Blavotsky took much a similar approach in her belief that All religions were but a shadow of a greater spirituality. Though liked by some and disdained by many, I think her work might be the sort of thing you are looking for. In particular, her 4 volume work "The secret doctrine" w...

Thanks for taking the time to reply as you have done. I value the information and suggestions you have provided here. I actually got quite a lot out of your response. I'll be sure to make time and read up on how the process works. Again ... excellent information. Just the kind of grounding I really ...

Thanks Tovarisch, 1. I'll go over the recommended protocols for recording once more. I found that very helpful last time. I have a good enough mic and setup to record with for now. 2. Thus far I have picked a book from the public Domain that is of interest for me. Non-Fiction Spiritual Book. 3. I ha...

Hi, although I did not get very far the last time I tried, I figured I might have another go. I do have a couple of concerns though. Can I choose books that I find of interest from the Public Domain and work on them at my own pace? I struggle very much trying to fit in with everyone else and also fo...
