Okay, some improvement, but your audio is now 320kbps bit rate, and the volume is still low at 82.9dB. I'm still hearing plosive sounds on the P's in Peter Piper. There is also a bit of room reverb.

Welcome Tom I reviewed your test sample, and while it sounds good there are some technical changes needed. LibriVox requires audio that is 128kbps constant bit rate MP3, 44.1kHz sample rate, mono, and between 86dB and 92dB, preferably 89-90. Your test audio is 192kbps bit rate, and the volume is too...

Well, I didn't mix them up as much as I did with Prince/Princess in War and Peace.

7, 8 & 9 ready for PL.

Greetings Kevin Indeed, all your settings are correct except the volume, which is too low at 81.5dB. The acceptable range is 86 - 92dB, ideally 89-90. Make sure input gain slider in Audacity (upper right with the little mic icon) is well to the right. Then adjust the input gain on your mic so your r...

Welcome Abram

Your audio meets LibriVox requirements, so you are good to go. (I also use Reaper and a shotgun.)

Happy narrating!

1 & 4 ready for PL.

Definitely more "hard SF".
