Hi Carolin,
These are so short, and I'm sitting here with my mic out for the first time in years, so forgive me for not claiming first, but here are Youth and the Pilgrim, May, and Less than the Cloud to the Wind:

Well, I am glad you have your mic out! I love your expressive reading.

Just a technical note: The volume on these is high, and two are just over the threshold. The LibriVox range is from 86-92 dB, with 89 dB being our target.

These are:

22 - 92.2
30 - 92.4
32 - 91.8

They could all be "amplified" by -3 dB

And, although the background hum is certainly within acceptable limits, I personally would run a low level noise reduction, but that's up to you.

Don't put that mic away! I look forward to hearing your voice often.

Thanks for the PL, silverquill. Do you want me to submit slightly deamplified versions? (I have vague memories of an automated volume-levelling stage at cataloguing that only too-quiet files were a serious bugbear for, but I may be either mistaken or way out of date!) They have had some noise reduction but I tend to err on the light side for avoidance of distortion.

Yes, if you could submit new files, that would be great.

Thanks so much.

And, fine on the noise reduction.
