Here is the revised version.

time: 30:13

Thanks, Rohan

Rohan, you still have a technical issues. The volume is low at 85.4 should be between 86 and 92db

Your editing is a little over aggressive.

* Example "The Gun" both times in your opening statement, has only half of the T sound, additionally it seems like you copied and pasted it into both places as they both have the same clipped sound.

* Example 1:09 - 1:11 The book says "He saw a vast expanse" your recording says "ast expanse"

* Example 1:46 - 1:48 The book says ""I wonder what the atmospheric sample will show," your recording says ""hat the atmospheric sample will show,"

The missing words, and sentences starting in the middle of a word, make this difficult to listen to.

Please proof listen your submission, and correct these and any other glaring errors before submitting.

I did not proof listen beyond 1:48

James
Sorry for taking so long, here is the new version

time: 30:05
I fixed the editing and made it louder but I am not sure how to see the volume in decibels. Hopefully it is loud enough now.

Thanks, Rohan
Thanks Rohan, it is PL ok now.

Author: Wilson Parks Griffith
Librivox URL: https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/ssf078_doubletake_griffith_cj_128kb.mp3
Online version URL:
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/58826
Recording duration: 8m24s

This is my first recording for Librivox (and I do apologize for not waiting for feedback from my 1-minute test - enthusiasm got the better of me I'm afraid).

The file (recorded with Audacity/win10/USB mic) was passed by Checker and has been noise-reduced and cleaned up for clicks, pops and spacing.

For the Librivox catalog, Chris James (my name) is fine.

I'm looking forward to feedback and how to improve.

Many thanks,

Chris
Thanks Chris, sounds great. It is PL ok.

I have no suggestions for improvement, a very good first recording.

This will be in the ssf079 collection

James.

I recorded “Clean Break” by Roger D. Aycock.

URL to audio:
https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/ssf078_cleanbreak_aycock_jcr_128kb.mp3

Length: 32 min 30 sec

Source text URL:
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/32212

A few tongue twisters in this one, like “saucer-shaped ship.” Whew! Hope all is good!
Good job Jeff, there are some challenging things to read there.

It is PL ok

Hi,
These sources aren't acceptable I'm afraid.
