How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your 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.
Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! 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.
Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!
The reader will record the following at the beginning and end of each file:
No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording! START of recording (Intro):
"Chapter [number] of The Alpine Path: The Story of my Career. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Say: "The Alpine Path: The Story of my Career, by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Chapter [number, text]"
END of recording:
At the end of the section, say: "End of [Chapter]"
If you wish, say: "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
At the end of the book, say (in addition): "End of The Alpine Path: The Story of my Career, by Lucy Maud Montgomery. "
There should be 5 seconds silence at the end of the recording.
Example filename alpinepath_##_montgomery_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. alpinepath_01_montgomery_128kb.mp3)
Transfer of files (completed recordings) Please always post in this forum thread when you've sent a file. Also, post the length of the recording (file duration: mm:ss) together with the link.
I started this project in late September. I can't remember who my MC and DPLs were (sorry, I'm really bad at names IRL, screen names are even harder)...

I was the DPL I'm still interested if you'll have me.
Can't remember who the MC was - was it Annise? Or MaryAnn?

My apologies! I have been absolutely swamped with unanticipated life events. I will process the audio on ch. 1 tonight, and if all goes well upload ch. 2 next week!

Sorry, technical difficulties on my end. Very nearly done with the first chapter, though I may need to re-record 2 minutes. My goal is to have it uploaded tomorrow night and then record the rest of the sections by the end of the month.

Okay! I think I finally have the hang of things! Whew! The editing for the first chapter is finished, aside from 30 seconds I need to re-record. It must wait until morning as my neighbours are being too loud to record, just now! It will defintely be uploaded tomorrow!
