Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated). Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

============================================
The reader will record the following at the beginning and end of each file:
No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording! START of recording (Intro):
"Letter [number] of LETTERS TO CATHERINE E. BEECHER IN REPLY TO AN ESSAY ON SLAVERY AND ABOLITIONISM. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Say: "LETTERS TO CATHERINE E. BEECHER IN REPLY TO AN ESSAY ON SLAVERY AND ABOLITIONISM, by Angelina Emily Grimké . [Letter #, Title]"
For the second and all subsequent sections, you may optionally use the shortened form of this intro disclaimer:
"Letter [number] of LETTERS TO CATHERINE E. BEECHER. This LibriVox recording is in the Public Domain."
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Only if applicable, say: "[Letter #, Title]"
END of recording:
At the end of the section, say: "End of [Letter #]"
If you wish, say: "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
At the end of the book, say (in addition): "End of LETTERS TO CATHERINE E. BEECHER IN REPLY TO AN ESSAY ON SLAVERY AND ABOLITIONISM, by Angelina Emily Grimké . "
There should be ~5 seconds silence at the end of the recording.
Example filename letterstocatherineebeecher_##_grimke_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. letterstocatherineebeecher_01_grimke_128kb.mp3)
Transfer of files (completed recordings) Please always post in this forum thread when you've sent a file. Also, post the length of the recording (file duration: mm:ss) together with the link.
Upload your file with the LibriVox Uploader: https://librivox.org/login/uploader
(If you have trouble reading the image above, please message an admin)
You'll need to select the MC, which for this project is: craigdav1
When your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread.
edit: I would suggest not putting the title all in caps even though it is that way on the book cover. It can be changed on the Project Screen anytime before cataloging. Also I would suggest using the full title only in the first intro and in the book ending statement. Elsewhere it could be just "Letters to Catherine Beecher" or something similar. Should we advertise for a DPL?
I definitely agree on the all-caps thing too. I wasn't thinking about it when I copied things into the project template, but I will edit that as soon as I get going with the sections.
thank you both!

I've got four letters recorded and one all edited for PL.... but the uploader is giving me issues for some reason ("Error: Empty file upload result" ??). hopefully I can restart the browser and get it to cooperate eventually.

I figured out the issue! the uploader does not like the accent on Grimke. once I took that out, it worked just fine.
apologies for my absence here on this project! spring semester has been taking a toll.
I will make time to get letter 4 edited this month, and then I should have more recording time in May.
thanks for everyone's patience
