Can anyone please help me with my recording?
I recorded chapter 15, but in the recording, there are heavy noises at some points, which makes it difficult to remove to noise. So I have only one option and that is to re-record those particular words and replace them in the recording.
But the problem is, no matter where I record those words, my voice always sounds very different than that in the whole recording.
I cannot replace those words.
If anyone knows what to do, Please help!.
Regards

My advice to you is:

1) Try, as much as possible, to replicate the conditions under which you originally recorded. Sit in the same room, in the same chair. Position your microphone in the same place. Try to speak at the same volume and pace as you originally did.

2) If (as is likely) the sound is still not quite the same in spite of everything you did in step 1, you may be able to minimize the difference by adjusting the volume of parts of your recording around the transition. If, while you're playing back your recording, the new phrase sounds louder than the original recording, de-amplify it by 1-3 dB. If it sounds softer, amplify it. Maybe even adjust the volume of parts of the original to make the transition sound more natural. Use your ear and play with it until you think it sounds nicer.

3) Don't obsess about step 2. If you've played with it a little bit and it still sounds weird to you, let it go. It may be that a listener, hearing that phrase for the first time (not the 20th, like you, because you keep playing it back) wouldn't notice anything wrong. Or, even if they do, their ear will adjust quickly to the new sound and get back to enjoying the story. It's better to read and enjoy the story, even with odd little technical hitches like this, than to obsess over it to the point that it doesn't get finished. Sometimes, "good enough" really is good enough!

EDIT: Of course, the easiest way to avoid this problem in future is to not let those noises into your recording in the first place. While I'm recording, I'm also listening to my environment, and if I hear something that I think might have been picked up by my mic (loud truck on the road outside, my cat scratching his box, etc.) I wait for quiet and then go ahead and read that phrase or sentence over again, just in case.

Book II Chapter X, time 6:24

https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/heavenlytwinsbook2_10_128kb.mp3


I really loved this chapter. I wanted to give Mr Price a high five. I hope he continues to be awesome.

(Also I am not going to attempt an American accent. It would be laughable bad)

Hi Sabella,
Please number your recordings with the section number. For example, Book 2 Chapter 10 would be file 34, like this
heavenlytwins_34_grand_128kb
The ones you submitted can be changed during cataloging.
Thanks,
Amy

Thanks a lot. I'll try my best to make the recording as perfect as it can be.
