You did a great job with the recording. One queen's name needs to be corrected.
At 8:39, the text reads "Queens Aah-hotep and Nefertari", you have the more famous queen listed in your recording "Nefertiti".

Thanks,

Thanks for PLing. Here is the corrected file: https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/predecessorsofcleopatra_02_north_128kb.mp3 [19:53]

Sorry I took so long with this but I had to go out of town for a family wedding.

Another good reading with just a few small corrections need to be made here.

From 23:46-23:54 and 23:54-24:02, the following text is repeated: "The picture is very touching. “And,” continues the narrative, “when one that came in said, ‘Was this well done of your lady, Charmian?"
Please delete one of them.


At 25:18 and 25:19 "and octavian" is repeated. Please delete one of them.

At 25:45, please insert "end of chapter 29" before "end of predecessors of cleopatra".

Then repost and all should be well.

Thanks,

M

Welcome to LibriVox. It is a lot of fun. You may certainly have those two chapters. Please let me know under what name you would like to appear in the LibriVox public catalog. It can be your real name, your forum name, or some other name.

Before you tackle these two chapters. please read the following and submit a 1 minute test recording to verify your settings match the technical specifications required.

Please see our Newbie Guide to Recording for further instructions. A quick guide to our required technical settings can be found here.

Thanks,

Please use the name Paige Sevilla for the recording.

Looking forward to reading these chapters. Thanks!

Chapter 20, after many difficulties (not least of which was skipping two paragraphs in my initial recording :( ), is now ready for PL.

I just listened to your recording. You need to change the bit rate to 128 kbps when you export your file. All the other settings are fine. Your recording was very clear and easy to understand. :)

I would suggest when you do your recordings that you select some of the "silence" at the beginning or ending of your recording and use that to run Noise Reduction on your file. I actually run it twice on my recordings to reduce the background noise as I have a lot more in my recordings than I heard in yours.

I will officially give you those chapters and create a catalog record for your recordings.

Have fun. I've only been doing it for about 16 months and I love it.
