I dont think I still have my one minute test, I remember I did one when I joined the site briefly years ago. I was surprised my computer still had audacity and, at least by the standards...

Well noted! If a chapters open I'll do it, and try and do justice to it, might take me a while as I'm a bit of a novice and I'll want to take time to do it right. 2 weeks tops, of listening to other chapters to ensure consistency in my own, and of course, editing.
