Hello,


I'd really like to claim section 1 if possible.

Disclaimer: I'm yet to do a project for LibriVox (however, my One Minute Test has been approved - https://librivox.org/uploads/tests/test_cmklotr.mp3).

All the best.

Welcome to LibriVox!

It is definitely possible, I have you down for section 12, thank you! Just make sure to do the one minute test before you record, just so that we can make sure your settings are where we need them to be. I have a feeling that will be very easy for you to take care of! What name would you like credited on your catalog page?

Hello! I am having a bit of trouble getting my 1 minute test prepared, so it might take a bit longer than expected. The name for the catalog can be Stacy Robinson, thank you for your patience!

Here's chapter 2, duration 19:39.
I'm looking forward to listening to the whole book; this one looks like a hoot,and I'd never heard of it before...
