Need noise-cleaning?
Listen to your file through headphones. If you can hear some constant background noise (hiss/buzz), you may want to clean it up a bit. The new (free) version 1.3.3. of Audacity (Mac/Win) has much improved noise-cleaning. See this LibriVox wiki page for a complete guide.

Hi Joseph,
Paul has very graciously given me MC privileges on this one, since I'm a new MC and looking for projects. Looks like you're off to a great start! I think your top post has enough info that folks can start recording if they're itching to do so. I'll spend today learning lots and setting everything up for you, and I'll send you a PM when we're up and running.

Just another small contribution on my part (and I just wanted to say that I haven't forgotten to record The Fearful Finale of the Irascible Mouse of Mother Goose for Grownups. It will be finished soon.).

Edit to add:
I listend to Weihnachstbaeumlein.
At the end you only say: "End of Weihnachtsbaeumlein" and leave out "by Christian Morgenstern" No idea how important this is.
Except of this it is PL OK

I am strongly tempted to try these two myself but I have a British voice and these are written by an American authoress. I think for best effect an American voice ... OK, I'm a bit of a purist
