Yes that would be great if you would do the 1 Minute Test again first. However, I will put you in for Chapter 14. Congrats on the new mic! What kind?
Christine
One minor adjustment to the db of my test and I passed.
Second-hand Blue, from someone who got themself an XLR microphone for Christmas. As opposed to my previously borrowed Snowball Ice.
I cant get my Yeti Blue to stop making plosives unless I turn the volume to 85. Then it doesnt pick up my voice loud enough and I have to amplify the whole track by 6 at the end. Any tips?

I do have a pop filter, but I'm still fairly new to recording. I'll send you a message with more details so as to not flood this thread.

cheers Andy
Andy, Andy, Andy, you sound great in this! I can see how daunting it would be with all those alliterations! Henry Wysham needs you though!
Chapter 10 notes:
4:57 should be "engendered"; I heard "endangered" p. 131

8:36 should be "visor"; I heard "visitor" p. 133

21:30 should be "that three ribs"; I heard "that the ribs"

23:01 There are a few more paragraphs to finish this chapter below the line. pp.141-145
Thank you!
Christine
OK, hope this is all of it this time! Possibly the longest thirty minutes of my life!!

Goodness, you ought to receive a Librivox Medal for this. Most excellent job though and I know you will do the same for Chapter 11 (after you take a nice break, though). Just one note on Chapter 10: reduce silence at end to no more than 5 seconds.
Thank you for your dedication!
Christine

Awesome recording - almost a different language that is!
Chapter 13 notes:
4:53 should be "the dwarf took leave of the crowned King"; I heard "the dwarf took lead of the crowned King" page 194
6:29 should be "a board was laid"; I heard "a hoard was laid" page 195'
Thanks,
Christine
