you can search our database for the author https://librivox.org/ (in the search box upper right corner). I just checked for Rizzatti and Roggero and there are no stories by them yet.Is there the possibility that someone else has already read these stories, with the risk of producing duplicates?
But ! even if they had been read already, we accept double or triple versions of the same text. Search for Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice for example and you'll see how many versions there are already. So if you want to read a second version, you would be welcome to do it.
yes, luckily we can pause in a recording, otherwise I would never get anything done. I cannot read for more than 10 minutes without my voice hurting. It depends on how long the break is. If I only drink a bit of water, then I let the recording run on, because it can easily get edited out in the end. If I really stop for the day, I make a full stop and save the file under a preliminary name. Then the next day, I open another blank file and continue the recording. In the end I copy/paste all the different sessions together.When I read, can I pause? How do I do it in Audacity: do I press the "pause" button (2 black rectangles) or the "stop" button (black square)?
What about long pauses? I mean, resume the next day?
The only problem with multiple recording sessions is that your voice may sound a bit different, louder maybe, and the sound/background noise in the room may have changed from morning sessions to night sessions. So cleaning up the background noise and amplifying to a similar volume may be more tricky from day to day. But other than that, there is no reason why you couldn't make breaks in the recording. Just always remember to save your work regularly, I know from experience how frustrating it is to lose a file and having to redo the whole thing.

so, this is me again.
Thank you for all your tips, they were very helpful
I finished the first chapter of 5 of a story from this book:
https://archive.org/details/RoggeroRaccontiMeravigliosi/page/n7/mode/1up
(it is the second one, "Un caso difficile".
I checked the file with the app and it passed the control.
I load it up:
https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/msw029_casodifficile_roggero_rp_128kb.mp3
The track lenght is 00:05:51,69
I don't know who will be the prooflistener (you?), but it might be useful, before continuing, to get feedback on the first piece, so as to better set up the continuation.
Thank you very much
Ruti
