Thank you, Jay! And congrats on your first recording!
Since it's the first one, I run a technical check, and we have to fix the bit rate. If you are using Audacity, you can set that when exporting as mp3. Open your recording in Audacity, go to export as mp3, check the format options in the Export Window, and choose "Constant" for Bit Rate Mode, and "128 kbps" for Quality. Then click Save to export and Audacity should keep these settings for all future exports. Then re-upload and post the link again. Thanks!
I've used "Jason Durocher" as your catalogue name as I think that is what you say in the recording, but let me know if I haven't spelt it correctly: https://librivox.org/reader/15503

Hi Rapunzelina
I've attempted to fill the quota. Hope these are all technically sound. I used the audacity noise reduction on these.
Best regards
Ted

Thank you for your further contribution, Ted! These are lovely! The noise-removal worked well, even though you had minimal background sound.
And two new additions to the Author database!

One more from me from the same author...it might be a little too loud but I'm still figuring out how to do that sort of thing in Audacity. It's still within the accepted range though, I think.

Awesome, Chad and Jen! Thank you!
Jen, it didn't sound too loud to me, probably because you have a soothing voice Then I measured it in the Checker and the volume is just perfect for Librivox! So I measured your two previous recordings to compare; they are definitely within desired range, just 1 decibel softer than the ideal. Conclusion: Your volume is fine
Seeing all your files together, I realized in the filenames there are underscores in place of spaces in the poem's title, but the requested format is to be written as one word, ie, it would be spc211_churchsociable_jnw_128kb.mp3 instead of spc211_church_sociable_jnw_128kb.mp3
Just mentioning it for future file naming, I will fix those at cataloguing. Thanks!

Oops! I will keep that in mind when naming files for next time! Glad the volume is good. I never thought of myself as having a soothing voice, but a coworker has also told me that when I've done voice over for her

OK by US law, but I'm in a EU member state (Poland) and we go by the author death date. Since the author of this piece died in 1960 it's not Public Domain here.

Looking at the bright side; you got some practice, and practice is never a bad thing
