Keep in mind there's a 2-poem limit per collection, so if you DO decide to read it, it would need to wait until February. :)

Thanks!

How would you like to be credited in the catalog? There are places for a catalog name (some use a nickname, some their real name) and a personal web site or blog, if you have one. CLICK HERE for an example of what I'm talking about. I recommend using whatever name you say (if any) when you say, "recorded by [your name]" as that's how listeners will look for you.

Tom and Bill - I've added your catalog names as requested in the forum or via PM.

Benjamin Painter:

0:05 - need to say, "Read for LibriVox.org by [your name]". If you don't want to say your name, then just say, "Read for LibriVox.org."

Hmmmm - I might have to read "Mrs. Benjamin Painter"!

Casey at the Bat:

0:04 - you don't have to read the birth/death year of the author, but I"m OK to leave it in if you want to.

IF you choose to fix it, please fix the title ID to "Casey" rather than "Caset" :P

re: benjamin painter

I added the "recorded by". Sound shift is apparent. If not OK, I'll do again.

Tom - did you upload the wrong one? this one is still 1:11 and doesn't have the edit.

EDIT: Never mind - I found it. Its file name has mp3.mp3, so it wasn't the same link. ;) Edit sounds fine to me. PL OK!

llc324 - nice reading!

Tech specs and volume are OK on the file. Just watch your popping P sounds. You have a couple plosives. This is when your breath directly hits the microphone on letters like P, F, or TH. Move your microphone a little bit to the side of your mouth if a desktop mic, or a little above or below your mouth if a headset mic. This will help the air pass by the mic instead of directly hitting it. :)

Here are the things I noted as I listened against the text:

0:00-0:16 - instead of the full LV disclaimer, you can simply say, "Dark Spirit of Desart Rude By Percy Shelley. Read for LibriVox.org by Leta Campbell."

0:22 - said, "each tangled and un-troded wood" should be "untrodden" (short O, like "un-broaden")

0:25 - said, "where silent's gleamings never glow" should be "sunlight's"

0:46 - missed this line: "That flaps its wing o'er the leafless oak"

1:31 - said, "the buds have bursted their frozen sleep" should be "burst"

1:48 - said, "whose giant oak dead lichens bend" should be "bind"

1:49 - said, "Moaning, sighing in the wind" should be "moaningly"

1:51 - said, "whose huge loose rocks" should be "with"

2:14 - Outro for poetry is, "End of poem. This recording is in the public domain."

Needs a total of 5 seconds of silence at the end. :)

Make these edits, then post the file again. Use the same file name as your previous one, and post in the thread when it's uploaded and the new run time. :)
