My Book of Favorite Fairy Tales by Edric Vredenberg (1860 - ).

This book can now be found in our catalog at https://librivox.org/my-book-of-favourite-fairy-tales-by-edric-vredenberg-2/
Here they are again, the old, old stories, the very best; dear Cinderella, wicked old Bluebeard, tiny Thumbling, beautiful Beauty and the ugly Beast, and a host of others. But the old stories, I may tell you, are always new, and always must be so, because there are new children to read them every day, and to these, of course, these old tales might have been written yesterday. ( the author)
    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!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/15145
    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!

    8. AFTER recording
      Need noise-cleaning?

      128 kbps MP3
      favoritefairytales_##_vredenberg_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. favoritefairytales_01_vredenberg_128kb.mp3)

Hi Lydia. I will assign those sections to you but before you record them please do your 1 minute test. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlaRY_-bcfs and here is a video on how to upload it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oTSlFSoEeY&feature=youtu.be

This is necessary to be sure that your technical specs on recording set up match what we use here. Not an audition at all.

Once you have the official OK, then jump right in and do those great stories. Please ask if anything is confusing.

Yes, that story is all yours. Enjoy your first long section and if you need any help with the editing just let me know. :thumbs:
Oh, and Isabella, the happy Librivox penguin (who is currently working from home of course) welcomes you to this project with her happy dance Image
