Hey, Jay!

Welcome to LibriVox and welcome to The Mystery of a Hansom Cab. We are happy to have you here. :thumbs:

This book/project is a Dramatic Reading, meaning you claim a character, not a section. It's a little bit different from other LibriVox projects but double the fun. :D

Feel Free to browse among the characters. Once you found one that you like to play. Let me know and I'd be happy to assign it to you.
Thanks, SaraHale. :D

Hey,

I see there is clipping in the audio. You don't have to worry about it. I believe when we have an editor for this project he/she would be able to fix it.

You can see if you go to View > Show Clipping (on/off) within Audacity.

Other than that it is PL OK. And you did a good job playing the Scotch Nurse. :clap:

Have I mentioned Audacity Macros to you? It is very helpful when you use the same effects with your recordings.

Here's a tutorial for you: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/396441804. If you want to skip to the Macros part, it starts at 00:25.

If you are curious about my own effects here they are:
1. Compressor
2. Replay Gain
3. De-clicker

Then I do noise reduction outside of the Macros.
Thanks, SaraHale. :D

This is great! Thanks. Yes, I'm all for learning anything new, especially the software. I will play with this while I'm summoning the courage to bid for a new role :wink: . There are fewer and fewer small parts now.

My pleasure! I know you'll do great in your next role. And when you finally decide to do your own SOLO, I'd be happy to be your DPLer.

I hope to work with you again soon! :D
Thanks, SaraHale. :D

By the way, if you are looking for short roles you may want to check The Author's Farce (viewtopic.php?f=27&t=83371). There are short roles there. And Kitty (Sonia) is an amazing PLer.
Thanks, SaraHale. :D

Greetings,
Here is the recording of the sick woman role in Chapter 15.
So, I attempted to sound like I was very weak and sick while singing these 3 snippets. I found that there is a fine line between getting the character right and sounding simply bad. Hopefully, I got it close to right. Feel free to let me know if you had another idea in mind. :wink:
