I am not an expert but a quick google found that the limit might be 80 minutes not 70 https://www.howtogeek.com/322676/why-can-i-only-burn-80-minutes-of-music-to-a-cd-if-my-mp3s-take-up-less-than-700mb-of-space/ Maybe there is a longer discussion about it at librivox someplace?
Of note I know that some early works published in the SSF collections, are broken into two parts of about 30 - 45 minutes each.

Hi Colleen,
That should be okay.
Thanks,

Hi! Very nicely read. Two small notes:
0:17 - in the intro after “recorded by” and before starting the story, need to say story title and author again.
10:26 small stumble/repeat.

Hi Ralph,
You did a great job on such a long first recording. Bumping the microphone or rustling papers can take away from your reading. That is something to avoid in your next recording.
Could you delete the instance at 0.33 and resubmit your recording.
Thanks, Ralph!

Hi Amy,
Thanks for your help.
Here is a new link for the updated recording. Sorry I missed that.
I have a tablet now, so I won't be using papers to read.
https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/ssf075_morale_leinster_rjm_128kb.mp3
Any other advice? I can use all the help I can get!
Warm Regards,
Ralph
PS BTW, should I use different voices for the different characters?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Ralph,
Thanks for updating it. It is PL OK now.
I think it is good to use different voices. A subtle change usually works well.
I don't like to give too much feed back. You may find another proof listener who will be more helpful on that front.
Cheers!

FYI - I know there a couple of minor stumbles remaining in this recording, attempts to correct them were not able to replicate the tempo and tone.

One of the new approved stories on Gutenberg.
At least nobody has read it for Librivox before.
Thanks
Dale
A couple of small fixes...
4:32. Text says “violent”; I hear “voluntary” which changes a key point in the story.
7:28 repeat/stumble.
Otherwise it sounded great!
