Certainly! Welcome to Librivox! What name would you like to be listed under in the catalogue? It can be a pseudonym or your real name or whatever else you want. :) I can also link to a personal URL. Please don't record them, though, until your 1-minute-test is checked. Thanks! :D

Hi Robin,
You did an awesome job on your chapters! You have a lovely voice and a nice reading style. I've got a bunch of things for you to fix, but none of these should be too difficult - just ask if you need help figuring out how to do something :) Thanks!

Chapter 26:
- The volume is too low. This is an easy fix if you're using Audacity - just go to Effects | Amplify and amplify by about 5 db. That will bring it up to our target of 89 db.
- Repeat @ 2:52 which took in...it to...it into it's head
- Repeat @ 3:26 in sort of a wide...wild hope
- @ 4:44 the word should be pronounced "hith-ur-too". You said it more like "hith-air-oh" I think.
- Repeat @ 4:46 regardless of the well-known fact...well-known effect of time
- Repeat @ 5:05 and fer...fervently clasped
- Repeat @ 5:15 in..indeed, is not common
- Repeat @ 6:48 that my...my Bobby
- Repeat @ 8:05 I would call them...would call 'em
- Repeat @ 10:50 which had been up...uppermost in the mi...minds of both
- Repeat @ 11:28 he had so many al...aliases
- Repeat @ 11:59 for the new bill...for the new mill
- Repeat @ 12:20 a fast...a first class article
- Repeat @ 12:29 He's sitch...a liberal gentleman...he's sitch a liberal gentleman
- Repeat @ 13:18 intentive...inventive genius
- You've got about ten seconds of silence on the end - could you cut it down to five please?

Chapter 27:
- The volume is too low - could you amplify by 5 db? Instructions at the top of this post :)
- Repeat @ 0:57 his outing, which...his outing, he went straight
- Repeat @ 4:12 we now...we now know
- Repeat @ 4:26 laughter...laughter
- Repeat @ 4:35 that led to the...that led to his garret
- Repeat @ 5:06 a few sound...a few seconds later
- Repeat @ 5:39 I now...I now
- Repeat @ 5:48 and he lives up here...and he lives up here
- Repeat @ 7:44 did you notice...did you once see a young girl
- Addition @ 8:46 I don't...I tell you plainly (the part in italics doesn't belong and should be cut out)
- Repeat @ 8:55 only don't let me have any of your sing...of your sing-songing
- Addition @ 12:24 said the...was the reply (the part in italics doesn't belong and should be cut out)
- Repeat @ 12:48 that God should get...should guide you
- Repeat @ 13:23 like a clap...with a clap like thunder
- Repeat @ 14:00 wonderful...wonderful Word of Life
- There should only be five seconds of silence on the end - please chop off the extra :)

A tip - if you start at the bottom of the list and work your way to the top, the time stamps will stay the same. Please make these edits and re-upload with the same file name. Thanks a lot for recording these chapters! Again, you did a great job reading them :D
