Hello Tess.
Thank you for submitting your first recording HERE. I've entered you into the catalog.
As to your recording, Checker reports: Volume 74.5 dB Librivox files need to be within the range of 86-92, with a preferred volume of 89.
Remedy: In Audacity, you can select the whole file, go Effect/Amplify/15, and it will safely bring the volume up to 89dB. Your background noise will then be amplified too, so I recommend you first deal with that. You have a quiet space at the front of your file of about 1 second (can't use back 5 seconds because that is real silence). Select the front second (minus the thump), Control C to copy. Then place cursor in the middle of that 1st second. Control V to paste, do this twice. This will give you 3 seconds of "silence". Now copy that 3 seconds, go Effect/Noise Reduction/Get Profile. Then select the whole poem (Control A), and go Effect/Noise Reduction/ set settings to 12/6/3/Reduce, and hit OK.
This gives you a nice sounding poem, which is very well read.
TIP: In future recordings, adjust your volume in advance, on the mike and on the Audacity screen Volume slider, until you achieve close to 89 dB on each recording.
