Welcome to libriVox Matthew (CollinsCollins4554) good first reading, just a couple of items to work on...
- the volume is too high at 97.2 dB, there is a bit of clipping due to high volume.*
- there are 10 seconds of closing silence, we require only 5 seconds
- please include the file duration with the uploader link.
You can upload a new file using the same filename. :wink:

*You should aim for your wave forms to peak near the 0.5 mark, like this:

You can check your volume using our Checker program - see info at http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Checker
You will find the volume in decibels on the Information tab. For your information, we look for around 89 dB (87-91 is OK)

**Please let me know under what name would you like to appear in the LV catalog and if you have one, we can put your personal URL link on your catalog page too.
You can view your brand new LV Catalog page by clicking your forum name in the Magic Window.

One note:
@0.20, I hear "an unhidden heart", the text is "the unhidden heart"
