Also, i am very interested in any criticism anyone might have. I take frank advice well. so don't worry about hurting my feelings. :D
let me know what you think.
Nothing but good comments from me, Michael! You're a great narrator! Clear diction, nice pace and expression. Section 5 is PL OK!

I had the original, but could not undo the noise reduction, so I recorded chapter 2 anew and re-uploaded it:

Duration: 15:39

Thank you for your patience. :D
Section 2 is PL OK! :thumbs: I don't think noise reduction did any significant difference, so you may skip it to make editing simpler. Sorry to have put you through unnecessary efforts, but I'll take comfort in the fact that you learnt something new :mrgreen:

Thank You! :clap:

Also thanks a lot for the detailed steps for noise reduction, it certainly will be very useful sometimes. ;)

hi everyone, I was wondering how people are pronouncing "Saxe." I know that it becomes short for Saxlehner, I would also like know how everyone is saying that as well i.e.
"And Saxlehner, with his remarkable invention". thank you :D

Great that you also make so much thought for a volunteer project! :thumbs:

Both Michael and I pronounced “Saxe.” as “sax” (saxophone). We pronounced Saxlehner slightly differently regarding the first e, but that’s totally OK, listeners would have no problem to recognize both are the same names. ;) It would be optimal if you happen to know someone with this name, then pronounce it as he/she tells you. ;) In this case, please also let us know, we’d be very grateful. :) :thumbs: If not, you can consider saying “sax-lean-ner” or “sax-lane-ner”.

Welcome to our project! :clap:

As I see, you have to take the 1-minute test first, as we all did when we started volunteering on LibriVox. Here is the link to the test:

https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/1-Minute_Test

As soon as you get Ok from LibriVox, post here a link, so that we can assign you to chapter 7. ;)

See you soon! :D

Great! :thumbs: It has passed checker and I have marked it as ready for PL now, our DPL will then give you feedback when she is so far. Because English is not my mother tongue, I only do the coordination work, feel free to claim one more chapter. :D
