Good reading Ryan (your catalog page has been updated. :D
There are a few tech items to correct in your file.
- the file is in stereo, we need a mono file
- the bitrate is 209 kbps, we need a bitrate of 128 kbps
- the filename is incorrect, the correct format is
Filename: introduction_anonymous_your initials in lowercase_128kb.mp3 (e.g. introduction_anonymous_klh_128kb.mp3)
I see you are using Garageband, I am unfamiliar with this program and cannot give you any suggestions. You might find some useful information here.. https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=GarageBand

David,

What magic did you perform? I logged on to tell you I re-recorded the poem, but the recording had the same problems. Can you suggest a microphone that won't cost an arm and a leg?

Thanks.

No magic, I posted the file you sent last. As I mentioned I heard no noise in your file, I amplified to ~88 dB since the volume was low. What mic are you currently using and did you try angling the mic at all? I see Amazon carries a variety of USB mics in the $30 - 40 range.
