You are correct that it is Kitty - for later projects if you look at the original post under number 8, it will be listed there

the MC is correct (Kitty) but be careful with the file-naming. In the first post you always find an example on how to correctly name your file for each project. In this case it should have been: animalstorybook_38_various_128kb.

No need to reupload right away, let's wait for the PL feedback.

First of all, I agree with Sonia - I need the file to be named as above.

Second, LibriVox requires the recordings to have a sampling frequency of 44100 Hz. (You can find LibriVox’s technical specifications here: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Tech_Specs; how to set up audacity for future recordings here: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Audacity_1-2-3). No need to rerecord, this youtube video shows you how to change the sample frequency rate of an already recorded audio in audacity: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Audacity_1-2-3

In the future, you can download Checker, a program that checks your audio against LibriVox’s technical specifications. You can find it here: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Checker

Also, you missed some text beneath the picture (which is easy to do): “Alas, Djijam grew snappish even to his best friends, and although it was suggested that he might be found an engagement on the Variety stage of the Westminster Aquarium, as a fire-eating hound, it was reluctantly decided that he should go the way of all flesh. I am sure if he had been asked, he would in some way have indicated that he preferred cremation to any other mode of disposal. But it was not to be, yet it was a melancholy satisfaction to learn that his end was peaceful though commonplace”

Finally, don’t forget to end your recording with “end of chapter 38” and 5 seconds of silence.

These are all easily fixed so don’t get discouraged! I really enjoyed your reading :D
