I would absolutely love to read Section 9: The Grateful Prince and Section 10: The Child Who Came from an Egg, if they aren't yet taken!

Can't resist this! My elementary-school library had Lang's Red and Yellow Fairy books. I still remember the pleasure I got from reading them cover-to-cover...40 years ago!

I would like to read #17 - The Fairy of the Dawn.

Here's Section 9: The Grateful Prince

Just lemme know if I need to fix the volume or any parts in the recording. I left a lot of empty space at the end just in case, too. This one definitely stretched me as a reader/actor person and was a lot longer than any other recording I've done! But I loved every minute of it.

Section 9: The Grateful Prince
Duration: 00:35:58

Thank you very much, Jeannie. I have put section 9 in the MW for our Proof Listener. She will tell you if there are any edits that need to be made. Glad you enjoyed recording this chapter.

Hi
I uploaded my test file yesterday. Will someone let me know if it is okay before I start recording #20?
Thanks,

Hello Dflute and a Welcome to LibriVox from me as well

Whenever you upload something, the uploader gives you a link, which you copy and paste to the thread. So it is easier to find the recording later.
Here's the link to your test: http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/mb/test_dflute.mp3.mp3

It is very clear (no background noise), tech specs appear ok (mono, 44.1 kHz, 128 kb/s), it is a bit low in volume (81.8 dB, whereas a ~89 dB is suggested). Maybe you could try raising the input volume a bit? Also, take care with the filenames as this one came with a double ".mp3".
Now you could get a more detailed technical commentary if you post your test at the "Listeners & Editors Wanted" forum, if you want to try with a raised input volume.

Cheers!
