State of the Union Addresses by United States Presidents (1934 - 1945) by Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 - 1945).

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/state-of-the-union-addresses-by-united-states-presidents-1934-1945-by-franklin-d-roosevelt/
The State of the Union address is a speech presented by the President of the United States to a joint session of the United States Congress, typically delivered annually. The address not only reports on the condition of the nation but also allows the President to outline his legislative agenda (for which he needs the cooperation of Congress) and national priorities. This album contains recordings of addresses from Franklin D. Roosevelt. (Wikipedia)
  • This is the 19th out of 26 projects. Prior addresses are found here: https://librivox.org/search?q=state%20of%20the%20union&search_form=advanced

    Project began June 19, 2016. There have been 47 Readers, 8 MCs and 3 PLers. 144 hours have been cataloged covering 1790-1922.
      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!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/5050
      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: Special - Please follow text while PLing. I'm not looking for word perfect. The language is sometimes awkward and following the text will help identify errors which the ear alone may not find. Linny is DPL


        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!

      8. AFTER recording
        Need noise-cleaning?

        128 kbps MP3
        stateoftheunion_1934_1945_##_various_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. stateoftheunion_1934_1945_01_various_128kb.mp3)

        (To find out more about ID3 tags, go to our wiki: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/What_is_ID3)
        Ignore tags. They are completed automatically during the catalog process

Section 1 was claimed in the thread a few post before yours. Is there another year you are interested in?
