• 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!): https://archive.org/details/nationalgeograph51893nati (also linked pages in the MW)
  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.
     Previous projects show that 10 pages give a recording of about 25-30 minutes.

     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!

[Isana]

Yay!

Rapunzelina, I'd like to claim sections 13 and 25.

[Rapunzelina]

Yay Thank you, Isana! I'm signing you up!

[silverquill]

Oh, great, another National Geographic project!

My plate is pretty full right now, but one of my DPL projects is nearing completion, so I would be willing to be DPL here. Just really fascinating stuff.

And, I would like to claim just one section for now -- Section 22.

Thanks.

[Rapunzelina]

Thank you, Larry! I'll sign you up

[pschempf]

Rapunzelina-

May I have sections 7, 9, 10 and 11?

[Rapunzelina]

Thank you, Fritz! I've signed you up!


And I've moved us to Readers Wanted!

[luminadi]

Hi there!

I'd like to sign up for number 17! The relations of Air and Water to Temperature and Life.


Thanks,

Luminadi

[Rapunzelina]

Hi, Luminadi! Welcome to this project! I'll sign you up for Section 17. Thanks for claiming!

Section 7-

[Rapunzelina]

First section in! Thank you, Fritz! I'll update the MW!

[pschempf]

Rapunzelina-

Here is Section 9-

https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/ngm05_09_128kb.mp3
Track length: 6:14

In the intro, I added the word "part" to clarify what "one" was about so it reads, "An undiscovered Island off the northern Coast of Alaska. Part I - by Marcus Baker." I have done the same for the next two sections as well. If that is not acceptable I can clip it out, but I think it makes the intent clearer.

[pschempf]

Rapunzelina-

And section 10-
