Thank you! Sorry for not replying sooner ~ life interfered!

Here are the PL notes for the chapter:

There are loud clicks that should be snipped out at 0:05, 0:20, 0:21, 10:05 and 10:08.

At 6:21 there is a mistake "or the round...final round" should be "or the final round'
@6:24 stumble on "evidentially"
@8:27 stumble on "sufficiently"
@ 8:43 stumble/repeat at "exclaim"

If you could fix these issues and reupload, that would be great!

All yours, Nancy ~ thanks!

I just realized I forgot to do word counts for this project....

Post by **m8b1** » November 27th, 2021, 11:02 am

Word counts have been entered, if that helps anyone, although they are generally similar lengths.

Hi,

Welcome to LibriVox! Chapter 4 is all yours! Please read the first post of this thread carefully.

Please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. It can be your real name, forum name, or a pseudonym ~ whatever you prefer.

Also, if this is your first recording, we ask that you send in a 1-minute test recording. This is not an audition, it's just to make sure the sound quality and the recording settings are all right - often things can be improved at the outset that are difficult to fix later. Please go to https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=1-Minute_Test to find out what to record for your 1-minute test, and how to upload the recording. In the LibriVox Uploader, please select 'tests - tests' from the MC drop-down, and then post your test recording in the Listeners Wanted forum, rather than in this thread - you'll get feedback more quickly there.

Thanks, and have fun!

Great, Thank you! I just ordered a new microphone and I should get it in a few days. I'll record the 1- minute test when I get it and after it's approved I'll start work on the Chapter.
