Well, that was all very quick, and I'm pleased to have you on board.
You did forget to give the file length for this recording, but I'll put it in for you since I downloaded this just to check specs and take a sample listen.
Specs are spot one, and your reading is superb. Maybe volunteer to be DPL for you solo . . . . I enjoy good reading.

Only a couple of comments. You do have too much silence at the beginning; it can be no more than one second, and you have two.
There is an issue with plosives, not so much with "p" as with "t" listen to both your intro and outro for the word "twelve" and I think you will hear what I mean. The two things you can do to lessen this is to have the mic further from your mouth, and/or speak at an angle to the mic so your breath doesn't directly impact it. The best thing is to use a pop filter. They are cheap and easy to use. I went without one for a long time, but needed to bring my mic closer because I was getting too much reverb, and got a pop filter and am very happy with the results.

Anyway, these are just tips, and no need to change anything with this recording, except for that opening silence, and unless Kevin finds something when he does the full proof listening.

I hope we'll heare a lot more of your superb voice! (I've put you in for 4 and 5)

PL OK!

Section 7 gave me a headache. I think Section 8 will make me thirsty! (Wink.)

WELCOME TO LIBRIVOX

Thanks for the feedback! I will definitely pick up a pop filter.

A nice reading! The only real problem is the too long silence at the opening which Larry points out.

The plosives are a bit of a thing, but I would not worry about recording this section over again. Larry's advice should serve you well.

Welcome!

Well, almost. We need a leading zero so the files sort properly. So it needs to be prohibition_04_towne
