I'm in the UK - am I allowed to contribute to this if the copyright hasn't expired here as per the notice at the top of the post?

Hi there and thank you so much for volunteering! I have looked at the 1-minute test and it looks as if someone beat me to it. There are a few items that are asked to be corrected there. They are both minor technical issues, but are necessary to meet Librivox criteria. I will have to wait until the test has been corrected and given an "ok" status before I can assign the sections to you. However, I will place a hold on them in the meantime. Please check back when your test has been updated. Also it is important to note that these fixes are something that come up quite a bit from readers of all experience levels. None of them require you to re-record anything. They can be made with the program. I am not a recording artist so unfortunately I am unable to explain how to do them, but if you post in the forum for help there are many active members that can and will help you out.

Thanks! I will try to get my 1 minute test resubmitted either today or tomorrow.
Looking at the text, I would really like to pronounce the names correctly. Are there any resources that others have been using or are we all just taking our best shots?

Hi--I agree with Kevin. We try to find the correct pronunciations, then do the best that we can. And it is fine.
The two resources that I primarily used for my sections in this project were:
Forvo (use this one often for everything!) here: https://forvo.com/
and an Irish Pronunciation Database here: https://www.teanglann.ie/en/fuaim/
I didn't find everything, but they were helpful. Have fun!
As for my preference. I like things to be as accurate as possible without really requiring a bunch of work on your part. I am not a stickler about it. I am not Irish so I would have no idea anyway. If you want to do some research that is fine, but don't sweat over it for this project ok.
