This is my first recording. I would like "Aaron Zimmerman" to appear in the LibriVox catalogue for my credit.

Thanks.

I would like to respectfully rescind my assigned section (section 14), reopening it for someone else to record it. I've already completed my recording, but I've made many recording and production errors, since I'm new to Audacity, LibriVox, and audio production in general. I've learned A LOT, so I'll do better next time. I will be cleaning up keyboard tapping at record and stop times, recording more in the middle of the day (mourning voice stands out a lot in these recordings), and have a stronger preference for recording from start to finish rather than jumping around.

I actually have recorded over 100 hours of audio for my personal listening. It's just one take per chapter type of recordings though, where I just leave in errors and repeat sentences where needed. I also have very little experience with the acting side of narrating. Recording contents for the first time is the funnest, so I think someone else would have more fun with this section than me rerecording it. Also it's good enough for my personal listening, I just might be embarrassed if it were in the LibriVox catalog.

I'm still hoping to do recordings for LibriVox, so I would be curious to know if this is a tolerable action to take, and remain in good esteem with LibriVox. Like maybe if I just dropped it and let my deadline pass, that might be the deplorable thing to do. I am receptive to any advice.

Hello, Aaron

Yes, absolutely! Thank you for letting us know, I will open your section, and hope you read for us in the future!

Leni, I apologize for not keeping better tabs on my deadlines, it was not my oversight for not communicating that I would need an extension in order to properly complete these two sections. I would like to reclaim both sections 15 and 22, asking for an extension on recording them.

Kind regards,
Kerry Adams

Hello, Kerry

Sure, I am reassigning them. If you could please submit them within a month, I'd appreciate it. I am claiming the last section myself, so I can finalize this book. Thanks!

Hi Leni:
I was previously approved to record section 29. However, I failed to submit on time (after an extension), so you re-opened the section. I've finally finished it and attached it here. If you prefer to use someone else, I fully understand. I sincerely apologize for creating extra work for you.

Hello, calbrummie. Indeed, it was your claimed that I orphaned on Friday, Nov 26. And as you can see in the thread it was claimed by another reader on the same Friday 26th, two days before you came back. The section had been saved for you since July 22nd, so, it was really long due. Since the other reader claimed it before, and because we work here on a first come, first served basis, she has the right to the claim. Thank you for understanding.

Leni, since I haven't yet recorded this section on George Eliot, please go ahead and give it back to the previous reader. I'm ok with that.
