Okay, thanks!

Overall volume is too low, but it cannot be amplified due to the peaks in the middle. Are you using Audacity? You should aim for your wave forms to peak mostly between the 0.5 and 1.0 marks.

Make sure the microphone slider in the Audacity window is all the way up. Also, have you increased your input volume in Windows/OS yet? Here's a link to instructions: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Audacity_1-2-3#Volume

You sound really far away from the microphone, or like you're reading through a telephone. What kind of microphone are you using?

Try making these adjustments, then post another test. Use the same file name as your previous one, and post in this same thread when it's ready.
