Here you go, my first librivox contribution, section 01, chapter 01-

http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/kb/historychristianchurch_01_cheetham.mp3

I have chapter two recorded - I should have the editing finished by tomorrow.

I hate to do this, but I am afraid I have to abandon Section 00 (the preface and introduction). In the preface, Cheetham awknowledges his main sources, which includes several books from 19th century German theologians. I have tried my best to fake a German accent, ala Artie Johnson, but I just end u...

Thank you for critiquing, Mans. I am still trying to find my Librivox voice, and am debating with myself whether to speak softly while the mic is up close, or move the mic further away and project my voice a little more. Unfortunately, the quality of my recordings will probably be a victim of my exp...

How do we handle footnotes? (Or if someone has a link to this answer elsewhere, I'd appreciate it. This will be my first project with footnotes in it.) Tricia, Kikisaulite is right about footnotes in this case. Just ignore them. This book is meant to be a popular treatment of the subject, and the f...

Thanks to all the Librivox volunteers who made this audio book a reality. I am thoroughly enjoying listening to this book

My very first suggestion, coming to fruition..!! How cool is that..!! Thanks alot for setting this up, kikisaulite..!!

I have the first two chapters recorded, but I am removing all my coughing and throat clearings with the magic software. I will send them in when I can.

Being new here, if you wish, you could try recording just a minute or so and posting a link to it here. In this way we can make sure that you have all the technical stuff right before you plunge into the rather long chapters. OK, I borrowed my wife's microphone and read the first two sections of ch...

...In this way we can make sure that you have all the technical stuff right before you plunge into the rather long chapters. I gave myself a crashcourse in Audacity and recorded the first section of chap 62 last night. The audio is pretty bad. Lots of hiss that I have trouble removing without me so...

Do you mean 62 and 63? If so, I would like to try and pick these up. I am new to Librivox, so this will be my first project.

markalanvb asks: "Well, how about Darwin's "Descent of Man"? That would certainly be worth doing, but I think it would be really tough to record properly. The edition I have has loads of illustrations that the text is constantly referring to. It would be interesting to try and work ar...

Has any progress been made on this edition of the Epic of Gilgamesh?

Glad I found this topic already covered. My reading taste tends towards books which are heavily footnoted. Sometimes they make interesting reading which is tangential to the main thrust of the book, other times they merely cite source material. I think including footnotes for public domain should be...

Hello everyone. I just discovered this site last week, and after browsing around and listening to a few audio books, I decided I want to be a small part of it. I have long been a fan of public domain reading from archive.org, books.google, and have even toyed with recording a few of my own readings ...
