Volunteers outside the USA: Nikolay Otsup died in 1958. His/Her work is still protected by copyright in places, like Europe, where copyright is author's death plus 70 years, or Australia (author's death plus 70 years for authors who died after 1954).

This recording is dedicated to the memory of Vladimir Oytser, a poetry guru whose opinions always were inspiration for me (Mark Chulsky)
Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated). 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):
"Первая часть книги стихов Николая Оцупа Град. Эта запись сделана для проекта ЛибриВокс. Все записи ЛибриВокс являются общественным достоянием. Для справок и помощи проекту пожалуйста посетите сетевую страницу librivox DOT org."
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Say: "Град Николая Оцупа. Начало."
For the second and all subsequent sections, you may optionally use the shortened form of this intro disclaimer:
"Град Николая Оцупа. Окончание. Эта запись проекта ЛибриВокс является общественным достоянием"
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Only if applicable, say: "[Chapter title]"
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): "Конец книги стихов Николая Оцупа Град."
There should be ~5 seconds silence at the end of the recording.
Example filename grad_##_otsup_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. grad_##_otsup_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.
Hello,
I've finished the first section of the book (length 23:16), no remarks, everything is OK, nice emotional expression, articulation, no mistakes.

Hello, here are the two remarks for the second section:
5:39 there must be "dimniy lug" instead of "dimniy krug"; the page 35 of the book. 9:12 there must be "derevo goloe" instead of "derevo, golos"; page 38.
I would recommend to re-record those 2 rows.
The rest is OK.
