Hi JNGraber - You have a very nice reading voice, and congrats on your first reading. :clap: :clap: There are just two issues to correct.

Chapter 12:

3:15: Incorrect word: "for you by the finest tailor in Pleasant Valley" is read "for you by the finest tailor in Present Valley"

Larry has already mention in his post that the background noise is quite loud and has given his suggestions (which I fully second), and I'll add a wonderful link that Phil has created for just this purpose as well: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Noise_Cleaning which goes into exactly how to clean your audio. I had an old wooden desk that I used to use and it amplified the sound of the computer fan, I had to move the microphone further away from the computer on a separate area of the desk and used cloth to dampen the sound both underneath the microphone and by the fan.

I will fix my section today. (Probably rerecord, since I'm sure you're right that I accidentally reduced the noise twice.) Weekends are Librivox time now that I'm gainfully employed. :D

That would be nice, but we do request that our new readers first complete a one-minute test recording to make sure all the technical aspects are set up correctly. I would suggest reading the Newbie Guide to Recording, a link for which you will find in the initial post of this thread, and follow the directions there concerning this recording.

Once you have the official OK, post back here and let me know how you would like to be listed in the LV catalog. Many of us just use our real names, but you are free to choose any pseudonym or nickname that you wish.

All the best!

Chapter 6: Please trim beginning to no more than 1 second, there are 2 seconds currently.
:24 - please change "Chapter 6" to the title of the chapter which is FREDDIE FIREFLY'S DISCOVERY
While your end there, you have 6 seconds at the end, just trim it down to 5 seconds.

Great job! :thumbs:
