Poems of Power by Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850 - 1919).

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on the catalog page for this project: http://librivox.org/poems-of-power-by-ella-wheeler-wilcox/
This is a volume in a series of books of poetry by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. This time, the theme is "Power". ( Carolin)
    1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. 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 would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
    2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
    3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. 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.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
    4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/6667
    5. Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

      Prospective Prooflisteners: Please read the Listeners Wanted FAQ before listening! Level of prooflistening requested: standard

      Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

    6. BEFORE recording: Please check the Recording Notes: http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6427#6430

      Set your recording software to:
      Channels: 1 (Mono)
      Bit Rate: 128 kbps
      Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz
    7. DURING recording:
      • At the beginning of the recording, read the abbreviated "LibriVox disclaimer":
      "[Poem title], by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, read for LibriVox.org by [your name]" or some variation on that, adding date, location, your personal URL, etc., if you wish.
      • Then read the poem.
      • At the end, say: "End of poem. This recording is in the public domain." and leave five seconds of silence.
    8. At the end of the book, say (in addition):
      "End of Poems of Power by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

    There should be 5 seconds silence at the end of the recording, or 10 seconds for files longer than 30 minutes.

    Please remember to check this thread frequently for updates!
  • AFTER recording
    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 has much improved noise-cleaning. See this LibriVox wiki page for a complete guide.
    Save files as
    128 kbps MP3
    poemsofpower_##_wilcox_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. poemsofpower_01_wilcox_128kb.mp3)
  • Example ID3 V2 tags
    (To find out more about ID3 tags, go to our wiki: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/What_is_ID3)
    Add the following tags to your .mp3 file (how you do this depends on which software you use – if you are unsure about ID3 tags, send me a message). Please mind upper and lower case!
    Artist: Ella Wheeler Wilcox
    Title: ## - [Section title]
    Album: Poems of Power

    Please ignore tags for Genre and Track Number - these will be filled in automatically at the cataloguing stage.

Do you need a long disclaimer for the first section?

Hi Carolin

I'd also like to take one of the parts of Section 2: The Meeting of the Centuries. In your comment, you say it could be two different readers. Perhaps 3 would be better? : One to do the intro (and reading also of the CAPS between the stanzas), one to do the Old Century and one to do the New Century.

If you're happy with that, I would be willing to do the Preliminary stuff, the Intro and the CAPS. Two other readers could do the stanzas, and also supply their names. The files could then be uploaded as normal, and I could download them and splice them together. Then get it PLd as one. (I would do preliminary PL also). Does that sound as if it might work?

Regards

Ken
