Carolin is very good about these things, so I looked and could not find your post on 4/16 that they were uploaded, so I checked and it appears you posted them to a different project: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=64964&start=30
No worries, I've done the same thing!

April, PL notes on your selections:
Section 30: The intro left out the abbreviated "LibriVox disclaimer":
"[Poem title], by Hattie Howard, read for LibriVox.org" by [your name] or some variation on that. Instead you read this in the outro.
Section 39: At 0:54 - The text is: “Shall there recorded be,” and you read: “Shall be recorded there,”. This throws off the metre of the poem as “be” rhymes with “charily” in the following lines.
Section 53: At 1:10.5 - The text is: “As friend and champion.” and you read (as best I can make out): “As friend of and champion.”
Section 58: At 1:59 - The text is: “That may gild a pile of stone,”. In your reading, you have about a 1/2 second pause between the words “may” and “gild” which sounds too long.
Section 71: PL OK!
Section 83: At 0:21 - The text is: “That he can pass his fellows by with lofty scorn,” and you read: “That he can pass his fellows by the lofty scorn,”. In addition at 1:53 - the text is: “Then cometh a sad day, when with a poignant sting”, and you read: “Then cometh a sad day, when a poignant sting” - leaving out the word “with”
Section 30 intro/outro should be corrected and re-uploaded. I’ll leave it up to you whether or not to correct the others depending on how easy or hard you find it.
As a side note: I notice that your microphone volume seems to fluctuate continually throughout the readings, often dropping off at the end of a line. You have a lovely recording voice and this throws off the sound of it. Possibly some setting needs to be changed on your microphone so that the volume stays consistent?. Maybe you could ask in the Help and Advice forum to see if someone can identify the setting that causes the fluctuation?
Your recording: "https://librivox.org/uploads/carolin/poems_30_howard_128kb.mp3 is probably the best example of this volume fluctuation and might be a good example for getting help in troubleshooting it in the forum.

Thank you april!
Carolin
Nemo,
I did make the corrections that you had mentioned.
I also compressed section 30 to see if that would help with the volume fluctuations.
Please do listen to that poem with that in your mind and let me know what your thoughts are on this?
Thank you,
April

Thank you for taking the time with these, I appreciate it! - Sections 39, 53, 58 and 83 are now all PL OK.
You did some very nice editing fixes on these!
Section 30 still needs some touching up on the Intro and the Outro. Don't despair, I know these can be confusing at times. I sometimes wish that L Vox had just one standard intro for all projects, however I understand why they don't. Here is my note:
Section 30: The Intro for this should be: "Die in Autumn, by Hattie Howard, read for LibriVox.org" by April 6090, California, United States of America.”
Instead you read: "Die in Autumn, by Hattie Howard. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org. Read for LibriVox.org" by April 6090, California, United States of America.”"
The Outro should be: "End of poem. This recording is in the public domain."
Instead you read: "End of poem. This recording is in the public domain. Read for LibriVox.org."
Just make those two changes, upload again and we should be all set!
BTW, your sound on #30 did sound better! ... it still cuts out a little, but not as bad as before.
Thanks again,

April, for poetry we keep the intros and outros short because the poems are so short

Here is what you typed:
-"BTW, your sound on #30 did sound better! ... it still cuts out a little, but not as bad as before."
I must admit to part of the cutting out being operator error as I may not have had the microphone where it should have been.
I will pay better attention with future recordings & might use the "compression" tool more.
-"I sometimes wish that L Vox had just one standard intro for all projects, however I understand why they don't."
I can understand that as well, thank you though. It is nice to feel as though I am not the only one with the feelings sometimes of frustration, eh?
-"Sections 39, 53, 58 and 83 are now all PL OK."
