Is there a deadline?
We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here
To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
Please claim roles (the numbers in the first column below)! Please note: All Librivox recordings are in the public domain. When you submit your recording, you will be placing your recording in the public domain as well.
If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.
Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!
Set your recording software to:
Channels: 1 (Mono)
Bit Rate: 128 kbps
Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz
Submit one file per act.
Make sure you add this to the beginning of your recording: [Role], read by [your name].
If you are the narrator, please read the disclaimer as mentioned in the script.
Please remember to check this thread frequently for updates!
AFTER recording Save files as 128 kbps MP3
courage_[role]_[#]_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the chapter number.
Transfer of files (completed recordings) Please always post in this forum thread when you've sent a file. Also, post the length of the recording (file duration: mm:ss) together with the link.
Upload your file with the LibriVox Uploader: https://librivox.org/login/uploader
(If you have trouble reading the image above, please message an admin)
You'll need to select the MC, which for this project is: TriciaG
When your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread.
This is quite a short book, and I will be editing it all myself. I will be needing a DPL and parts PL'er though. Potential MC, I am not sure about the number of sections now...I will add them as needed. I will prepare a list of characters and upload soon.
The casting will be gender neutral, except for courage, who is a twelve year old girl, so I would prefer her being gender- matched. There is also a boy, and I prefer a woman/ girl reading his lines, rather than having a deep male voice
Note to readers: only a few of the roles are recurring, most of them just appear in just one chapter. I would prefer that each role is claimed individually, and if we have unclaimed roles left which are stalling the project, then multi-role claiming can be done.
Also, dear MC,
there will be a total of 10 completed sections in the end ( 8 chapter, L'envoi ( basically one chapter) and the Dramatis Personae)

Alright, I'd be glad to claim that on behalf of my son. He tends to be dramatically inclined, so he should do a good job with it.
