Welcome to LibriVox Cara

, good first reading.

A couple of notes...
- the volume is a bit low at 82.3 dB, you should aim for your waveforms to peak near the 0.5 mark, like this:

You can check your volume using our Checker program - see info at http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Checker You will find the volume in decibels on the Information tab. For your information, we look for around 89 dB (87-91 is OK)
- please check your silences: beginning silence should only be .5 - 1 second; there is a 5 second silence before the body of the poem, this may throw some listeners off.

Could you make these changes and upload with the same filename? Thanks.

That's fine, David. I could only hear two errors, and they don't change the meaning, so whether you edit them is up to you.

"I sit where youth was once ...." read as "once was" at 1:15, verse 4
"The falls of flower ..." read as "flowers" at 1.55, verse 6

David -

A poignant poem for a, ahem, more mature fellow.

Across the miles and years between
Two separate souls gaze at the scene

One soul laments
That so much was left unsaid

The other hopes
Foolishly, that time may yet relent.

There is so much here that cries out to my heart, so I had to give it a try.

Good first reading directioner, although there are a few technical items to fix: I direct you to Devorah's reply to your test recording viewtopic.php?p=1710384#p1710384
I would add you should be following all the directions in the opening post for any particular project. I know it is a lot to absorb all at once.

(I recovered your file link which somehow was incorrect.)
