Personally I can't think of anything more boring than city council proceedings. There is a whole collection of them from the city of Ann Arbor, MI on Hathitrust covering a span of a hundred years, from 1891 to 1991.

https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/003119036

I don't know which one in particular I'd do but as I said I think these would fit the bill.

Yes, I'd say that they probably fit the bill.

I'd probably stick with ones 1925 or older, just to be absolutely certain they're not copyrighted.

Alrighty then, guess I'm doing one of those then. I wouldn't know how to word the disclaimer though.

"[Excerpt from the] Council proceedings for the City of Ann Arbor, July 20, [27, and August 3, 1891]. This is a LV recording..." (depending on how many you do and how much of each one)
"Council proceedings, by the Ann Arbor city council."

My suggestion.

Hi there, I hope you can use the following, recorded for this project (hoping the subject and 'melodious' reading would encourage sleep):

• https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/ins005_sleep_myers_128kb.mp3
• Extract from Chapter 4 'Sleep' from 'Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death'
• Frederic William Henry Myers (1843 - 1901)
• https://www.gutenberg.org/files/38492/38492-h/38492-h.htm
• 65m40s

It is one of my first recordings and I am still learning a lot about how to record and edit on audacity. I am slowly going through the manual and the Youtube tutorials but if I have made any obvious mistakes, I do appreciate advice and constructive criticism.

With Thanks,
Rachel

Thank you! Yes, this looks like a good candidate for this collection.

I'll work on listening to it either this afternoon or evening (within the next 10 hours or so).

Sleep PL OK!

From a technical standpoint, I'm not sure what to mention. The volume could have been a little higher, but it was in the acceptable range, so it's not a big deal.

Thanks a lot! That is encouraging. (I was imagining that I was reading to someone who was falling asleep)
