Almost fell into the trap!
Chapter 7 - Bobby and Billy Put Their Heads Together
At around 9 seconds in I hear "please visit iVox dot org" - I believe you made an edit at 'LibriVox' and snipped off the first syllable. Please check there and see if that's what happened. I'll mark this chapter See PL notes until then.


--->for future reference only<---
The checker program notes a 'moderate' level of background noise on these two chapters. This doesn't affect the intelligibility of the recording, so you need not do anything, but you might want to study up on Audacity noise reduction in case you need to get rid of some noise in future recordings. Every guide to noise reduction will tell you the same thing, and I'll join in: Do Not Overdo! Too much noise reduction is way worse than too much noise.
More on noise reduction if you prefer your info as text:

39

5:05


I'll probably ask for a few more chapters in a couple of days, I can't seem to keep away from these stories. But first, I have to make sure the selected sections have no rats in them.


Thanks,

Chapter 38 - PL OK.
Chapter 39 - PL OK.

No rats, only coyotes and hares and our hero mink. Billy doesn't get dinner, but he also doesn't become dinner. That's a good trade, I think.

Alright, I fixed the LibriVox in that recording. Instead of recording it again, I just ripped it from Chapter 6's one. I hope that isn't too bad.

Also, may I have sections 12 and 13 once this chapter is okay?
Thank you!

I've marked this Ready for Spot PL (yes grabbing it from another recording works just fine)

And, I've put you in for 12 & 13

Better than 'not too bad' - your voice at the edit blends with the rest of the chapter very well indeed.
Chapter 7 is now marked PL OK - thank you - and enjoy chapters 12 and 13, which I see Larry has already assigned to you.

There was only one problem with your upload - the file name should have been
billymink_35_burgess_128kb.mp3 - and not
billy_mink_35_burgess_128kb.mp3

Rather than having you rename and re-upload your file - this time - I did that for you.
With that chapter 35 - Billy Mink Is Quick - is now PL OK.

I see you've made 8 posts at LibriVox - is this your first completed chapter? Welcome aboard - thanks for taking part in Billy Mink - and keep reading lots.

Thank you for your interest in this project.
We do, however, request that our new readers first complete a one-minute test recording to check out all of your technical specifications and any reading issues.

New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!

Among the useful information there you will find instructions for completing your test recording. Once you have the "OK" on that, post again here and you are free to record for this project. Let us know how you would like to be credited in the LibriVox catalog - real name, pseudonym or other nickname.
