Morna Lee, and Other Poems, by Mary Hannay Foott (1846 - 1918).

This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page here:

https://librivox.org/morna-lee-and-other-poems-by-mary-hannay-foott/


Mary Hannay Foott (pen name, La Quenouille) was a Scottish-born Australian poet and editor. She is well remembered for a bush-ballad poem, "Where the Pelican Builds". ( Wikipedia)
    1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
    2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
    3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
    4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): https://archive.org/details/mornaleeotherpoe00foot/page/n3/mode/2up
    5. Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

      Prospective Prooflisteners: Please read the Listeners Wanted FAQ before listening! Level of prooflistening requested: standard


      Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

      ============================================
    6. BEFORE recording: Please check the Recording Notes: viewtopic.php?p=6430#p6430

      Set your recording software to:
      Channels: 1 (Mono)
      Bit Rate: 128 kbps
      Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz
    7. DURING recording:
      No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording!
      Make sure you add this to the beginning of your recording:

      START of recording (Intro)
      • (For Section Number 1), "Section 1 of Morna Lee, and Other Poems. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
        If you wish, say: "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
        Say:
        "Morna Lee, and Other Poems, by Mary Hannay Foott. Section [Number + Title]"


        All Other Sections (For Sections 2 through 40), use shorter intro: "[Poem title] by Mary Hannay Foott, read for LibriVox.org" by [your name] or some variation on that, adding date, location, your personal URL, etc., if you wish."



      END of recording
      • At the end of the section, say:
        "End of poem. This recording is in the public domain."
      • If you wish, say:
        "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
      • At the end of the book (ie for reader of Section 40), say (in addition):
        "End of Morna Lee, and Other Poems, by Mary Hannay Foott."

      There should be ~5 seconds silence at the end of the recording.

      Please remember to check this thread frequently for updates!
    8. AFTER recording
      Need noise-cleaning?
      Listen to your file through headphones. If you can hear some constant background noise (hiss/buzz), you may want to clean it up a bit. The latest version of Audacity is recommended for noise-cleaning. See this LibriVox wiki page for a complete guide.
      Save files as
      128 kbps MP3
      mornalee_##_foott_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. mornalee_01_foott_128kb.mp3)

      ID3 tags will be added automatically during cataloging.

      Transfer of files (completed recordings) Please always post in this forum thread when you've sent a file. Also, post the length of the recording (file duration: mm:ss) together with the link.
      • Upload your file with the LibriVox Uploader: https://librivox.org/login/uploader

Section 18 - Dickens

https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/mornalee_18_foott_128kb.mp3
1.52

Judging by the date 1870 this must have been written soon after Dickens death :(

Can I add section 17?

It does not appear you have a DPL. I would be happy to do this project if you would like.

Hmm. Got carried away and recorded Section 8 as well. Guess I was anxious for some rain after the drought. I'll go ahead and upload it and hope you can use it.
