It looks like you don't have a DPL yet, may I please?

That would be great.

Hi Brianna,
Thank you for the recordings! It's pretty good, but some small fixes are needed. I hope you can make edits with Audacity; everything could be fixed without additional recordings:

Sec.1
Some 4 dB above the target of 89 dB, compression should help.
@4:20 a stumble at "Time and again"
@17:35 a stumble at "no other weapon of defence"
@21:55 a stumble at "shambled rapidly"
@27:50 a stumble at "For one harrowing moment"
@29:40 There should be 5 seconds silence at the end of the recording. It's only 3.9.

Sec.2
@1:20 a stumble at " unflaggingly devoted"
@3:50 a stumble at "I'll go clean crazy"
@15:15 a stumble at "no other way for the fox"
@24:00 There should be 5 seconds silence at the end of the recording. It's only 4.

Thanks again for your hard work!

Hi, Lynnet,

I redid the file because I did not know how to fix it using audacity!Shame on me!
Hope there are not so many stumbles this time.
How do I know I've left 5 sec at the end? I count 1 2 3 4 5 or add 5 to the last mark I got, that is if it is showing 20 minutes of recordind I let it go until 25? But then is would be minutes.....Oh My GOD!

this time the file is 29.17 m long.

Hi Brianna,
Sorry, but please learn to use Audacity or another sound editor. Really, it's not rocket science http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Audacity_1-2-3
When you re-record the entire track the PL person has to check the entire track again Not fair

sorry. It will not happen again.

Brianna, it's a steep learning curve; but look how far you've come in such a short time You'll get there

Hi Brianna,

The tracks you rerecorded are way too quiet, one is 80, the other 81 dB (target 89). They will have to get amplified, and Audacity makes it simple
How do you want to proceed? I don't mind to listen again, but it's not realistic to make a perfect 30-min track without editing, even for an experienced voice actor.
There are educational videos about Audacity: https://sites.google.com/site/librivideo/index, it's a good start.

Good luck!

[Lynnet]

Brianna, I will leave it to our Proof Listener, Mark, to check.
But I was wondering if you had seen this in the wiki? http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Portuguese_Newbie_Guide

Thank you.

Hi Brianna,
Congratulations, now you can change volume!
For sec.1 you did too good of a job: 94.3 dB (target 89, upper limit 92). Please reduce
If you really prefer the new versions of the stories 1 and 2, I'd listen to them, but maybe you want to try to cut out the stumbles? You will have to cut them out of sec. 3 anyway. Your call, let me know, but please, no more re-recording.

Sec.3 feedback:
No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording! (you have 2 sec)
There should be 5 seconds silence at the end of the recording. (you have 4, and it's not silence, some clicks and rattle).
@1:30 a stumble at "countenance"
@12:15 a stumble at "memory"
