Hi, Angela - Scott's at work, but I know he'll be happy for you to take this section.

Thank you for the helpful feedback! I tried to amplify the section you mentioned. Here is the link:

I apologize for the abrupt change of tone that may be still present. Hope this is okay to publish?

Here is Part 1. Please let me know what you think.
Hello Welcome to LibriVox!

Because you asked for comment, I will leave this courtesy PL Note. You may choose whether you'd like to try the fix I'm going to mention, or leave your section as it is, and I will mark it PL OK. Just let me know what you want to do.

The reading is nicely done. There is only one little spot that gets suddenly quite a bit softer than everything else, and you can do a quick edit to remedy that. If you are using Audacity, this is how to do it:

Open your recording, and zoom the track in until you see the markings at the top of the waveform track show every second.

Click on the track in the space between waveforms near the mark for 4:16.0, and drag the mouse to the space between waveforms near the mark for 4:23.0

Leaving that stretch highlighted, in the drop-down menu for Effects, click on Amplify.

Type a 2 in the top box and ignore the others, then click OK.
Now you can export to MP3 again, and re-upload the file the same way you did the first time. Don't forget to post that you've done so.

(This is not a required fix for your section to be OK'd - it is just a practice in volume editing, should you like to try it.)

Thank you for helping with this project!

Hey, yes, that is better.

And your section is PL OK

No worries about the tone change you mention - it is not distracting, and the file is absolutely publishable.
