Mansfield Park by Jane Austen.
This is the LAST Austen novel for LibriVox! All the rest are completed or already fully claimed, so here's your chance to help complete our collection!
- How to claim a part, and 'how it all works' here
To find a section to record, simply look in the readers' box below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are “up for grabs.” Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you’d like to read. Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording. - New to recording?
Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording! - Is there a deadline?
Target completion date of this project: 05-06-07 (yep, May 6, 2007) – but try to send your recordings as soon as you can. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it’ll go back to the pool. There’s no shame in this; we’re all volunteers and things happen. - Where do I find the text?

Files can either be posted here in the forum (link to your webspace) or emailed via http://yousendit.com to: a *at* studioae -dot- com (if you use yousendit, it's helpful if you'll post the resulting link in this thread)

into the folder named mansfield
I'll need the following information from you when you submit a recording:
- your name as you want it to appear in the LibriVox catalog,
- your webpage URL (if applicable)
- the runtime of the recording in format hh:mm:ss
Generally, pronunciation questions are left up to the individual reader. However, Maria Bertram is an important enough character that a single pronunciation should be chosen, as otherwise, the listener could find it rather jarring if her name changed from one chapter to another.
Since the pronunciation poll ended in a tie, I'm going to make an executive decision:[/size]
Maria Bertram's name will be pronounced Ma-RYE-uh
Readers may want to consider doing a search and replace in their chapter(s) to change the spelling to "Mariah" if they have trouble remembering.
I don't want to be a tyrant about it, but for the consideration of our listeners, it would be best to have consistency for such an important character. Therefore, I will request readers to edit their recordings if we get any Ma-REE-uhs.
Any questions?
Please post below or PM a.r.dobbs (now acting as BC).
