Well Cameron, you certainly have a great recording voice, no doubt about that! There are two things I'd like you to change, make another test (call it test 2 or something) and then post it here:

1) We use 128kbs bit rate, your test is in 192

2) your volume is a bit low at 79.9 dB, we aim at 89 dB with a 3dB range on either side. I know this is not normal audio engineer terminology but it is how we explain volume.

We use an unofficial program called Checker http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Checker to look at recordings in case you are interested.

So please do one more little test with these items fixed, upload it, and I will check it out ASAP. You will be recording in a very short time. :thumbs:

OK! That is right on the button and you are hereby cleared for recording lots and lots. :thumbs:

Did you post this in Listener's Wanted? If so I will go there and give it an OK.
