thank you for all your sections and happy to have you read more :) 41 and 64 are yours. I will try to PL today still, but I have a bit of a backlog right now, so: patience.

Here is Section 37 and 38. I think I fixed what I was supposed to, but let me know if it is not correct!

Here is Section 49!
yes thank you, Brittany, for all the lovely narratives. :thumbs: I can mark them all PL ok now. The ending silence should be 5 seconds, but as long as it stays in between 4.5 and 5.5 it's ok, we are not that picky :lol: Also careful with the volume which should stay inside 86 and 92 dB. Your section 37 is a tiny bit under 86, but I guess for once it's negligible, it can get equalized later in the cataloguing. But usually it would be better to try and stay closer to the average of 89 dB.

Do you have the Checker program ? It tells you the volume among other helpful technical settings. http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Checker You can run your mp3 files before you upload, then you can assess yourself whether it needs amplification before submitting it :)

Here is Section 41. I made sure to use the Checker for the volume! This section was a bit challenging with all of the Chinese names!

Quite interesting, actually: stay low! I wonder if this is still the case with modern ones... :hmm:

Hey,

I'd like to do Section 12: The second German mobilization (1914) if possible. Let me know if that's okay.

Thanks in advance.

hello Atelo and welcome to the World Story project. I see you already passed your minute test, so you can start right away. Section 12 is reserved for you. For details about intro/outro/title/footnotes etc, please read carefully through the first two posts. There are some special rules for this project.

Thanks, and have fun

Sonia

Thank you very much!
and a warm welcome to our forum, Matt :)

Thank you for your interest in this project, and I can definitely reserve you section 10 for the time being.

However, before you start recording, we strongly advice to complete a one-minute-test first. This is to check that your technical settings are all up to LV standard.
You can read all about it here: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=1-Minute_Test
Please post the test in the Listeners Wanted forum: viewforum.php?f=21 and someone will check it and give you feedback or advice if needed.

As soon as the test is ok'ed, please post the results back here, and then I can assign you the section officially. For that I would need to open a personal reader page for you, so please also tell me which reader name you want to go by. Can be the same as the forum name or your real name, or whatever.

For the moment, I will reserve the section for you for one month, to give you time to sort out the test. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. :)

Good luck with the test !

sorry for the delay in feedback, but I listened to your chapter just now and it is perfectly PL ok :thumbs: Checker helps tremendously assessing the volume, I use it on all my files. You are perfectly in the limits now. I couldn't comment on the Chinese pronunciation, but it sounds good to me and as long as it's understandable, it will do.

Thank you !

yes I understand that the flame would tend to go upwards, opposed to how a waterthrower would work. I still wouldn't want to be in the line of the nozzle :? excellent narration again Availle, and PL ok :)

thank you
