Carolin · Post by **Carolin** » February 24th, 2019, 3:04 am

True Stories about Pets by Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815 - 1884).

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/true-stories-about-pets-by-jane-grey-swisshelm/

Everyone who has pets can tell great stories about them. This volume collects 15 stories for children about pets: not only cats and dogs, but lambs, crows, even lions! ( Carolin)

1. 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.
2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
3. 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.
4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): https://archive.org/details/truestoriesabout00swis
5. 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.
  
  Prospective Prooflisteners: Please read the Listeners Wanted FAQ before listening! Level of prooflistening requested: 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!

  Please remember to check this thread frequently for updates!
8. AFTER recording
  Need noise-cleaning?

  128 kbps MP3
  pets_##_swisshelm_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. pets_01_swisshelm_128kb.mp3)

I would like to read the first chapter - two pet lions

Needle · Post by **Needle** » March 5th, 2019, 6:34 pm

Section 12 PL notes:
0:04 please add "edited by Jane Grey Swisshelm"
0:19 it only asks for the chapter title, so "True stories about pets by Jane Gray Swisshelm" should be taken out

end notes

Nice recording

Carolin · Post by **Carolin** » March 6th, 2019, 11:58 pm

Thank you both

Foon, i had changed the intro a bit as there is an editor for the book and an author for each story. Sorry for the confusion

Just sending a notice that I can be a DPL for this project. I have read all the requirements and instructions on how to handle this role. I will be sure to ask questions if I have any. I have already proof read one but I will do this one more time just to make sure I have the feel for it before I pass the mustard. I await word to see if this suits your needs before moving forward.
