Thank you, John!

I've advertised for a DPL, but no takers yet.

Hi,
I've just had my test piece approved and would like to begin with a small piece to get used to the process. Could I read Chapter 6 (point 6), as that looks a perfect length for my first foray into audio book narration?
Cheers, Cate

I'm interested in being DPL for this book. This would be my first time proof-listening for LibriVox, but I've read the guide and I think I understand what is required.

Hi
Me again! I've just seen that someone before me asked for chapter 6. Maybe I could be allocated chapter 12, if that's still available? If not, I'm happy to read any of the smaller chapters as a start.
Thanks.
Cate

I just listened to section 00, the Preface and Introduction. Overall this sounds very good--the end spaces right, the volume good, the disclaimers clear and correct, no background noise, no pauses, no repeats, and (though I know this isn't a thing for the PL to check) pauses and emphases that made her more convoluted sentences easy to follow. (Good for you!) Only one possible stumble, at 3:22: "the tendency of the reasoning..." "Reasoning" sounded a bit blurred so that I wasn't sure of the word until I looked it up.

As I said, I'm new to PL--I think these are all the things that should be listened for; let me know if I'm wrong.
