Hello Sara,
Thank you, I'm glad to be here. I would very much like to try my hand at all of those things you've mentioned eventually.
Hello Sam,
You're most welcome. It's really fun especially the Dramatic Reading. I've tried all except the solo project.
That's great to hear someone else is learning Japanese (^.^)b . It's easy enough to speak when you get the hang of the basics, but reading and writing Kanji is always more challenging the higher you go (for me anyway). How do you like it?
You're absolutely right. I sometimes have a hard time with the Hiragana (-_-;). But I won't give up.
You clearly speak and write English well, I wouldn't have known it was your second language if you hadn't said. You're from Egypt? Cool.
Thanks! Yeah.
About the 1-min test, I saw on the Wiki that you should post something about it on a public thread or else no one will know you've done it, so I posted here. Is that enough?
You've done it perfectly. Like Piotrek81 said, you have to copy the link and paste to the project. For example, you recorded the weekly poem. you upload the recording then you copy the link and paste it as a reply to the weekly poem thread. Please remember to always include the track length.
Is the public domain poetry for that thread chosen by the moderators and then members can say they want to try reading it? Is it a 'first in best dressed' system or can more than one user try their hand at a reading and then the moderators choose which one to upload?
I don't know how the poem is chosen. But If you like the weekly poem and want to record it. You just record and submit your recording. And they don't pick one reader. The poem will be read by up to 20 readers.
Please note: it's different in other projects. First, you have to claim a section and once they add your name to the Magic Window you can record it.
Here's the link to the Weekly and Fortnightly poem (If you like them, make sure to submit your recording before 0600 GMT Sunday, December 16, 2018 (12:00AM CDT))
Weekly:

Fortnightly:

Interesting, so if someone writes a thank-you note and it goes to a special area, is that a public thread or can you only see it if the message is for you?
I know it's a public thread. But I'm not familiar with the process of the 'thank-you' note. Actually, I haven't received one yet.
But some listeners will leave a comment/review in the Internet Archive Page. For example (

Happy Recording!
. Also thought it would be fun to do a little collaborative work on the forum if the right opportunity comes up.
Yes, there are lots of things to do here like Dramatic Reading, or reading a chapter or more with other readers, or reading a whole book on your own (which it'll be a solo project).
