I meant spot-checked.
Obs, sorry. Seems I forgot to change the status in the MW. I'll get it in the next round of PL:)

Please make sure you complete the "1 Minute Test" for review before you start actively recording any chapters for projects. This is NOT an audition, but a way to check to make sure all your technical settings are correct, your volume loud enough, etc. You will find the information for the 1-Minute Test Recording here: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/1-Minute_Test. The instructions also tell you how to upload your test and then post in the Listeners and Editors Wanted forum so someone can give you feedback on it.

Also, as this is a Dramatic Reading, here's a few tips to make a great recording.
First, try and make sure you have as little background noise as possible. Follow the tips here: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Noise_Cleaning.
Second, when recording a part, think of it as having a conversation. How would you naturally speak? read the text and see how the character reacts to the things around him, and if it doesn't say, then try to imagine it yourself. Let the reactions sound in your voice. A line can be read in extremely different ways, depending on if the character is sad or happy, so just remember to pay attention to the text and what is going on around him.
Third, when you edit after you have recorded (you will edit, we all do), leave at least 3-4 seconds between the lines, so that it will be clear when I edit where the break is.


At the Newbie Guide to Recording: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Newbie_Guide_to_Recording,you can see how to set up your computer to record.

If you'd like to introduce yourself to the community, you can do se here: http://forum.librivox.org/viewforum.php?f=17

An overview of how Librivox works can be found here: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/How_LibriVox_Works

There are numerous ways to volunteer here. An important one is proof-listening, which consists of checking someone's recording for errors. If you'd like to give that a try, you can find lots of information here: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Guide_for_Proof-listeners
One of our volunteers has created a number of videos that you might find helpful to learn more about the workings of Librivox. You can find a listing of those here: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/User:Philchenevert

Also to point out to professional (or aspiring) Voice Over artists, all our recordings are put back into the public domain which means sometimes they are sold on ebay, etc. Have a look at this page which describes our Public Domain policy: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Copyright_and_Public_Domain

I hope you have fun and please, don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!

YESS!!! OMG, I'M SO EXCITED! I'll do everything you tell me to do, lol! As for "Cataloge name", you mean how would I like to be credited, right? If so, then "Colby R. Rice" is totally fine.

May I claim Baron de Chateau-Renaud (sections 70-80)? After that I might do some of the very minor roles.

I recorded the first Baron de Chateau-Renaud chapter:

https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/montecristo_barondechateaurenaud_40.flac

Also, I noticed an error in the dialog allocation in Chapter 40. On page 18 of the word file:
"he was waiting for me at nine at the Barriere de Fontainebleau. He gave me this paper; it contains the number of my new abode; read it yourself," and Monte Cristo passed a paper to Albert. "Ah, that is really original," said Beauchamp.

Beauchamp's line should be in orange. I'm not sure if wib66 noticed this in his reading.

EDIT: Also did another chapter for the Baron:

Thank you! I've been on vacation, so sorry for the delay. Planning on doing some serious PL'ing the next couple of days, so i should at least get started with them.

Hope the vacation was a good one! No rush. I'm also contemplating doing a solo project, just collecting as much information on it as I can before getting the project started.
