Thank you. PL OK.
We're under way. :-)

Tom Corbett is now claimed.
Front Desk Clerk is now claimed.

The Magic Window is mostly filled in.
* My fat fingers claimed I needed 265 sections and not 165.
* Please check for misplaced claims and let me know.
* The 'Notes' in the Magic Window give the file names each reader part should have.

Well as far as I can tell where I am with anonymous authors it says they go 70 years far it was first made public instead so I think I should be good unless admins know something I don't, which they may do. Though I started listening to the Librivox version that already exists to prep for the role ...

Cadet Herbert is yours. The lines in chapter 10 are cheering in the crowd at a mercuryball match.

By the way, I notice it says the author is unknown but most non-US uses death of author for PD but here is no warning so before I commit to anything, is it safe for non-US readers? The name Carey Rockwell was an alias used by Grosset & Dunlap for (one or more) work-for-hire author(s) on this se...

Sure. Glad to have you.

Thanks!

I’ll fill in the Magic Window soon - it’s dishwasher delivery day. We are next on their list.

How old are the Cadets supposed to be? Like are they supposed to be young adults/adults who've gone through puberty and are better voiced by men or kids/teens who are not fully grown yet and could get away with being voiced by a woman? I know you say casting is gender neutral but I am interested in...

Thanks,

Of course you may.

(Dr. Dale deserves more lines than she gets in this series - after all, she came up with the inventions that make interstellar travel possible.)

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. Stand By For Mars! is already in the LibriVox catalog at https://librivox.org/stand-by-for-mars-by-carey-rockwell-2 but it screams out (to me, at least) to be a Dramatic Reading. Visit https://librivox.org/the-revolt-on-venus-dramatic-reading-by-c...

Stand By For Mars!, by Carey Rockwell (Dramatic Reading) This is the first book in the “Tom Corbett, Space Cadet” series. In the 24th century every teenager from every planet, moon and rock in the solar system has a common dream: to become an officer in the Solar Guard. Three budding Space Cadets m...

I was talking about editing your project in stereo, then exporting in mono. I was just curious what that does. Sorry for the delay. Recording in stereo would do nothing for LibriVox, but (if I did it, not likley) I would have a stereo version I could post somewhere else. It would still be in the pu...

It could go to Internet Archive.

"Digital Audio Workstation" = your software

I'm considering editing my next LibriVox project in stereo and having Audacity export the MP3 in mono. That seems like a lot of extra work, though, so maybe not.

One habit I have is to save frequently as I edit. Some versions of Audacity I've used in the past would crash on me - I haven't had that problem for a while but frequent saving has become a habit. Of course, if you don't get along with Audacity, you can use any audio editing software to record and p...
