Monday Tales by Alphonse Daudet (1840 - 1897)
Translated by Marian McIntyre (1840 - 1900)

This project is now complete! All audio files can now be found on the catalog page for this project http://librivox.org/monday-tales-by-alphonse-daudet/

This is a collection of short stories by Alphonse Daudet. The stories paint an incredibly vivid picture of life in continental Europe just before the turn of the last century. The settings of the stories also take us all over France, Belgium, and Germany, with little excursions also outside of those countries. The spirit of fin-de-siècle Europe is palpable, and described in a way few writers can. ( Carolin)

1. 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.
2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
3. 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.
4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): https://archive.org/details/millletters00daudrich
5. Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! 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.
  
  Prospective Prooflisteners: Please read the Listeners Wanted FAQ before listening! Level of prooflistening requested: standard
  
  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!

6. BEFORE recording: Please check the Recording Notes: http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6427#6430
  
  Set your recording software to:
  Channels: 1 (Mono)
  Bit Rate: 128 kbps
  Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz
7. DURING recording:
  No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording!
  Make sure you add this to the beginning of your recording:
  START of recording (Intro)
  - "Section [number] of Monday Tales. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
  - If you wish, say: "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
  - Say:
    "Monday Tales, by Alphonse Daudet. Translated by Marian McIntyre. Section [number and title]"
  END of recording
  - At the end of the section, say:
    "End of Section [number]"
  - If you wish, say:
    "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
  - At the end of the book, say (in addition):
    "End of Monday Tales, by Alphonse Daudet. Translated by Marian McIntyre"
  There should be 5 seconds silence at the end of the recording, or 10 seconds for files longer than 30 minutes.
  
  Please remember to check this thread frequently for updates!
8. AFTER recording
  Need noise-cleaning?
  Listen to your file through headphones. If you can hear some constant background noise (hiss/buzz), you may want to clean it up a bit. The new (free) version 1.3.3. of Audacity has much improved noise-cleaning. See this LibriVox wiki page for a complete guide.
  Save files as
  128 kbps MP3
  mondaytales_##_daudet_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. mondaytales_01_daudet_128kb.mp3)
9. Example ID3 V2 tags (just leave those blank!)
  
  Please ignore tags for Genre and Track Number - these will be filled in automatically at the cataloguing stage.
  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
