LibriVox Forum

Thank you all, people, for the tips and comments. Thanks for the subimission, Julia

@Cori
I don't quite get what you mean by "cliffhanger request" point. Could you elaborate?
Also, are you saying that it's actually better to give people a very short deadline? I thought it was the opposite, with us being all volunteers and stuff.

Oh, cliffhanger -- teaser, something mysterious, interesting, sneaky ... something to entice people to PM you to find out more.

And deadlines, it depends, but sometimes it's easier to get a few contributions with a short deadline (because people were going to record that day anyway, so it's no problem to do a couple of extra minutes) rather than trying for lots of contributions with a long deadline (because people put it off, then forget about it.)

Yes, you're right. I'm definitely going to use some of those. In fact, now that I think of it, the forum is full of threads disussing some particular trick or routine. Still, I wouldn't like this to dominate the podcast - so come on and record something. Also, take a look at the "make the recording sound great" thread that Rapunzelina mentioned. Maybe it will give you some idea, like "but I do it differently, and it works "

Hi Piotrek

Good to see that we have another aspiring podcastmeister.

I will be making a short contribution, which should be uploaded in the next couple of days.

Cheers

Great. Thanks, Algy

Hi Piotrek

The LV Uploader is not working for me at the moment.

Hello Piotrek,
I took the bait and recorded something for your podcast - is there anything I need to put in the metadata? I named my mp3 based on the one posted already - podcast_134_nib.mp3 is that ok?

That's OK Thanks, Nina. Once you've uploaded it, send me a link or post it here.

This looked like fun, so I recorded a bit here. Use what you want...I hope I'm not rabbling too much!

How I go about recording and editing.

I think the link to uploader in the first post has to be readjusted now. It gave an errormessage, and should be:

librivox.org/uploader

Good Luck with the Podcast.

Piotrek,

How firm is that deadline? I might be able to contribute a short piece but it may not be until very late Sept 20. Any chance for 9/21? You are six hours ahead of me. Anyway, I'll try to get it in ASAP. I think I'll concentrate on my practice of preparing my script.

Bob

One day later doesn't matter

Great! Thanks, Piotrek. I'll do my best to have something to you on time.
