Thank you! Indeed - she has some very offensive things to say

May I read Miss Recompense? I'm new on LibriVox, and I'd like my name in the catalogue to be Angie.

Hello! Welcome to Librivox! First things first:

You'll need to do the 1-minute test before recording the part you requested. Or, as an alternate, you can use the first 30 seconds or so of this recording as your test. However, I would recommend not to record the whole thing until you’ve gotten the OK on your test recording - that way, if there's something drastically wrong with your setup that requires you to re-do the whole recording, you won't have wasted your time.

Here’s the article explaining the 1 minute test: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=1-Minute_Test

And another article explaining recording in general for new readers: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Newbie_Guide_to_Recording

Since you claimed a dramatic part, the recording process is a little different than a section for a normal group project. You don’t have to say the LibriVox disclaimer. Instead begin your recording with “Role name read by your name”. Then read each line. Please leave a space of ~3 seconds between each line so that I can more easily edit the final chapter together. Please upload the lines for each chapter in a separate file and name them accordingly (littlegirl_missrecompense_#_128kb.mp3) #=chapter number.

In the meantime, I’ll save the part for you for a month (since you’re a newbie and they sometimes disappear)! Don’t hesitate to ask if you still have questions!

I'll do that. But since I'm from New Zealand and have a kiwi accent, the test will sound a lot different to what I'll sound like when I record for the character. But I assure you, I am very good at imitating accents, so you have nothing to worry about.

I can read section 4 and section 8.

Oh you’re fine! The one minute test is more to check that your tech specs are fine. Librivox does not discourage readers based on accent - so your kiwi accent or any other accent you want to use is totally fine. It’s all part of the fun!
