We normally allow two months so you are just fine. But of course we will give extensions if requested. We move at a nice leisurely pace here and the last thing anyone needs is stress. :D

I'm at 30 days (over due I know!) I'm almost finished with Chapter 10, can I get a small extension?

Thanks

Thanks. You need to upload the finished file to our server. Upload to the LibriVox Uploader: https://librivox.org/login/uploader This is in the first post. When it is uploaded you will get a link and that is what you will put here. It will look like this (a sample)https://librivox.org/uploads/philchenevert/unclewiggilysstorybook_04_garis_128kb.mp3

here is a video on uploading https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB57z2l5LtA&list=UUg82GZ8Dap4MDbXpYuF06qA The first half is in how to name a file soy ou can skip that to get to the uploading process.

Hi W.C. and Welcome to LibriVox!

Nice job on the reading - good voice and pacing for a children's book :)

While your recording almost passes "standard proof listening", there are just a couple small edits that are required.

In the intro, if you record your name, just say "read by", not "this story read by".
In the outro, just say "End of section 10." I heard "This ends section 10. Thank you for listening."
This is for consistency with all of the other LV recordings. It is best practice that we read what is written and not paraphrase or ad-lib.

@ 0:45 there was a slight stumble: "and a tail and a tall"
@ 1:42 "his sister would cry" is missing
@ 3:26 "sister laughed" I heard "sister started laughing"

Finally, at the beginning of the file there should be a silence of between 0.5 and 1.0 seconds and at the end there should be 5 seconds of silence. Your opening silence was right at 1 second which is spot-on. However, your closing silence was only about three seconds.

Please make these small changes and re-export to MP3. Then reupload using the same file name. Do not forget to post a note here in the thread when you are done.
