Haha, feel free to keep my volume very LOW as you mix the choir voices together .... singing is not my thing.

Just a quick update:

Jasmin has finished recording her role and I have 3 chapters recorded. Hopefully I'll be able to get to editing soon.

Super.

if you can submit Water Rat chapters as you get them edited, instead of holding for the entire batch, that would be easier on editor tasks.

Thanks, Vonna! glad you had fun with her - the whole scene did make me literally laugh while I was recording the narration.

That Toad . . . .

And, P.S. - this is PL OK

Very nice job for a brand new volunteer.

You're a shoo in for the dramatic corner of LV.

Here's chapter one for Mole

Let me know if I need to tweak my tone at all as I get used to his personality.

Also, do I read the bits for Mole's conscience as well? Or is that a separate role?

Thanks, Shelly! This is loaded for PL.

No, dont need to do Conscience - it was done as a bit part.

I am about the furthest you can get from a trained singer, and wouldn't be offended in the least if you decide to just omit mine

Hey! Thank you so much, Mira. This is absolutely good enough for caroling

I greatly appreciate your contribution.

Hi Mary Anne,
I just uploaded my daughter and son’s test reading to your name, but I’m not certain it went through. They are ready to begin reading the sparrows roles. Their usernames are
Medorakay
Jonny117

Thank you!

Hi, Amy!

I have two parts of an answer regarding the test readings:

First, when we upload a file to LibriVox, we need to copy the link that results from that, and post the link in the appropriate discussion. If you scan back in this board, you'll see where people have done that when they've submitted various role files. Otherwise, nobody knows it was uploaded.

Second, the test readings actually go to a different place (and a different MC selection, rather than MaryAnn): The Listeners & Editors Wanted board. That is the place where tech-savvy folks are good at helping people sort out any settings or recording issues that may arise for folks.

I would upload the tests again, choosing the "tests - tests" option at the bottom of that MC menu, copy the links, and post them on that board.

P.S. Which sparrow number do each of the kids want to be assigned to?

Amysharpe1978 · Post by **Amysharpe1978** » November 1st, 2021, 5:36 pm

Ok, I’ll do that!

Medorakay would like Sparrow 3 and Jonny117 would like Sparrow 2.
