This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/skandinaviska-aeventyr-skandinaviske-eventyr-by-various/
Dette er en samling skandinaviske eventyr, lest på dansk, svensk eller norsk. This is a collection Scandinavian fairy tales read in Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian (to be edited before cataloguing) (kathrinee)
- Finding texts
You can record any Scandinavian fairy tale you like in Danish, Swedish or Norwegian, as long as the version you read from is in the Public Domain. runeberg.org is a Swedish site digitizing Scandinavian texts in the public domain, and is a good place to start searching.
Examples
H.C. Andersen in Danish and Swedish
Norske Eventyr av Asbjørnsen og Moe på norsk
Barne-Eventyr av Asbjørnsen og Moe på norsk
Norske folke-eventyr av Asbjørnsen og Moe på norsk
Lappiske eventyr og folkesagn av J.A. Friis på norsk
Eventyr og stemninger av Johan Frederik Visnes på dansk - New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
- 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.
- You do not have to claim a section before you record, provided you are certain about its Public Domain status. (If you are a new LibriVoxer, please do a 1 minute test before you start!).
After you have successfully uploaded the section, please post in the thread with this information:- Title of the story
- The author's name
- The author's birth- and death years
- The URL from the LibriVox Uploader after the file uploaded successfully
- The URL for the online version of the text
- The duration of the recording
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.

Need noise-cleaning?
Listen to your file through headphones. If you can hear some constant background noise (hiss/buzz), you may want to clean it up a bit. The new (free) version 1.3.3. of Audacity has much improved noise-cleaning. See this LibriVox wiki page for a complete guide.
