Hi, Leni,

I'd like to record sections 25 and 26 since they're still available! I just want to know what other shenanigans these people get up to

Thanks!
Hello, Meg

At 00:26 you say "Chapter 24" when it should be 14. Other than that, the section is great!

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. Must have misread those roman numerals! I've updated both of my sections with the correct chapter number. Everything else was left as-is. Let me know if they're good to go.

Section 21 (24:20)

Hi Everyone!

I'm new to LibriVox, but I'd like to do the 1st section of Anna of Savoy if it's alright. Just let me know!

Thanks,

Hello, and welcome to Librivox! I will assign you the section, but before recording, please take the One Minute Test - not an audition, but a way to make sure your equipment is set up before you record something we can not use.

And here it is

@00:03, 00:19, 01:29, 02:27, 14:05, 16:08 you miss one syllable in the city name "Constantinople" (not Constinople),

Also the whole file is really low in volume, and it is worsened by the fact that the beginning of sentences tend to sound even lower than the rest. For an example, listen to )5:24 and following seconds, where "but apart from" is barely audible compared to what follows.

Finally, there should be five seconds of silence at the end.

Thanks!

Hi Leni,
I've just re-done the recording. It should be louder now and the pronunciation of Constantinople has been corrected. It runs about 17:50.
