Could I read chapters 3 and 4 please? I am completing for a college course so turnover should be pretty quick.

Thanks for organizing,

Susan

Hi Susan,

Welcome to LibriVox! I've signed you up for Chapters 3 and 4. Please read the first post of this thread carefully.

Also, if this is your first recording, we ask that you send in a 1-minute test recording. This is not an audition, it's just to make sure the sound quality and the recording settings are all right - often things can be improved at the outset that are difficult to fix later. Please go to 1-Minute Test to find out what to record for your 1-minute test, and how to upload the recording. In the LibriVox Uploader, please select 'tests - tests' from the MC drop-down, and then post your test recording in the Listeners Wanted forum, rather than in this thread - you'll get feedback more quickly there.

Thanks and have fun!

I'd love to read chapter five! Though I'm just starting out and a little confused about how to really get going

What do I need to do? I understand how to record and upload, but I don't quite understand the 1 minute test, or where to access the material to read. Sorry if these are silly inquiries, I promise I'm a fast learner once I get going

Hi ReadReedRed,

Welcome to Librivox! These are not silly questions! I know it can be confusing at the beginning!

The 1 minute test is to make sure you have the technical specs of your file correct. We need them to be in a specific format. The wiki is full of detailed instructions on many things!

Here is a link on instructions for the 1 minute test: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/1-Minute_Test
and a "Newbie's Guide to Recording: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Newbie_Guide_to_Recording
Here is a link to some great instructional videos one of our volunteers made: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Instructional_Videos --- look down under the section title "Getting Started with Recording Videos" for videos specifically on the 1 minute test.

As for where to access the material to read, if you mean for each specific project, it will be in the first post of each thread under bullet point #4. Here is the direct link to the text for this project: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/48144

Hopefully after this, I haven't confused you completely! If I have, let me know and I'll try to simplify it for you!

Also, could you let me know what name you would like to use for the catalog page? It can be a real name or pseudonym, whatever you prefer. We can also link to a personal website or blog.

Have fun and let me know if you have more questions!

Thanks so much! You didn't confuse me at all, you actually cleared a lot up, thank you so much!

I'll get started on this and my minute test within the next couple days! The name I'd like to use is Taylor Davison, no website or blog needed!

Thanks again!

Hi tetalsjnt,

Welcome to Librivox! Chapters 7 & 8 are all yours!

Please read the first post carefully. Could you tell me what name you would like to use for your catalog page? It can be a real name or pseudonym - whatever you prefer. We can also link to a personal website or blog.

Let me know if you have any questions, and have fune!

Chapter 7

12min 45sec

For my page I guess use my name Jacqueline Withrow. That is what I used as my recording name.
Also, please critique it well and don't sugar coat it. This will be my first recording. I want to know the true opinion of my reading.
