I confess to being baffled. Sections 25 and 34 were initially both of acceptable volume per Checker. However, when the amount of silence was changed the volume dropped below 86 dB. Does anyone here have any ideas?

Thanks,

I'm not too sure myself................maybe try amplifying it and see what happens?
I just did an Amplify on Section 25. I can upload the new file and see if it sounds any better.

Your settings were fine except for the volume. Please amplify your recording to get the volume to meet LibriVox requirements (86-92 dB, with 89 dB being the target). at that higher volume you will also need to reduce the level of background noise through the use of a noise reduction process.

Please also add over 1 second of silence to the end of the recording so that it is around 5 seconds.

My last comment is for informational purposes. It does not need to be fixed here but is something to pay attention to in the future. You have quite a few plosives in your recording. This happens when you are too close to the microphone, breathing into it, etc. I have listed the locations of the first three for you: 0:23 "and", 0:32 "twenty three", 0:40 "stood". The frequency was much less later in the recording.

Please make the volume, noise level, and silence corrections and upload again and it should be PL OK.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

M

Nicely read. I especially loved the different voices used for the snowballs.

PL OK.

Go ahead and upload it. We'll get this thing figured out.

thank youmleigh for the all the good advice !
it was really fun to read for librivox but I must admit the tech part is not easy for me !!
there's no easy way to find the (in)famous ... 89 db, is there?
so I did my best to amplify the volume , let me know if it is ok
I reduced the noise and added silence at the end of the recording
so now the file is 14 min long
here it is.... fingers crossed
