I did enjoy the story, although I found it difficult to record and edit because it is longer. I saw your video about inserting words in a recording, do you have a video on normalizing the sound of the inserted part? Any tips on recording longer videos will help.

Thank you!

Yeah, those long sections can be hard to edit. One thing that I always do, no matter how long a section is, is start at the beginning and slowly listen to it, correcting mistakes as I go along, being sure that it is OK before moving to the next section. After saving it of course. This way only one pass is required. It may take me six or seven editing sessions over as many days if it is a long section, but I can just pick up where I left off knowing that the previous part is done. And saved! be sure to save after fixing something and being happy with it. I don't have a video on normalizing the sound of an inserted part (yet); I assume you mean making the new phrase match the volume of those preceeding and following, right? I just listen to the sentence and if what I've stuck in seems too soft or loud I just adjust that part. Plus of course you can see the wave forms on the track and if it is much bigger or smaller then I adjust ie.
I did just make a video yesterday on how I get my volume on every track to 89 decibels with one click. https://studio.youtube.com/video/aSKR55RDVpk/edit. It is using the Loudness Normalization effect.

Tips on recording longer sections? Sure. Just do them in like any other section. I open the track, record until I decide to stop, say 4 minutes, save the .aup file and go do something else. Then whenever I'm ready, open the track and pick up where I left off. Whether the section is 2 minutes long or 58 minutes long that is my approach. Let me know if that is confusing.

Thank you for all the information! That is really helpful I was under the impression when reading the LibriVox Wiki Newbie Guide to Recording not to stop the recording for anything. That would be very tiring:) I will now use your approach to recording longer sections, I think that will minimize my reading mistakes!

Story 96 - 6:57

Thank you for this. Just 2 notes:

The volume is too high - 92.3dB. Please lower the volume by about 3 dB, so that it is close to 89dB.
6:31 - I hear "back to him with the castle", text says "back with him to the castle"

Story 102 is PL OK

[kristakz]

My recording of 142 "Simeli Mountain" is ready to check. I believe there is a typo in the text where instead of "Then he went inside ..." it reads "The he went inside." So I recorded, per instructions, exactly as it is in the text, sort of using a silent "n" to indicate the correct word. It's at 1:54. I hope it's a good solution.

Very nicely read. That line sounded perfect. This is PL OK

I may be german, but I speak quite fluently English (perhaps with a little accent ) and want to read those tales:

162 The Wise Servant
163 The Glass Coffin
--------
165 The Griffin
166 Strong Hans


Edit: for a first "test of my sufficient english" , I uploaded the "The Wise Servant" already, if that´s ok.

Thank you for this. There is just one PL note.
10:56 - there is a very long pause. Please trim this silence.

Okay so I thought I already submitted a corrected version, but now I'm starting to think it somehow never went through, so if there's another identical reply from me out there somewhere, I apologize, haha!

Anyway, got it! Is this better?

I am due to read story 151. I see that there is a second story 151 * but this does not appear separately in the MW. Should i read them as one and if so how do i distinguish between them in the reading. They are quite different stories.

Thank you!

Very nicely read. The only issue is that there needs to be 5 seconds of silence at the end. Can you please add that.

There you go! 5 seconds of silence added: https://librivox.org/uploads/philchenevert/householdtalesbybrothersgrimm_071_grimm_128kb_mp3.mp3
