Hi Ashton,

Thank you. Did you by any chance upload the unedited file by accident?

I listened to the first few minutes, and there are a bit more stumbles and repeats than would usually be in a file that has been edited.

Hi Ashton,

Yes, please edit it and reupload. It needs to be as ready to go as you can make it. Please cut out/fix any repeats, stumbles, loud noises, etc., that you may find. Proof listening is just to catch any issues you may have missed while editing.

Also with this file, it is just within the volume range that we accept, but amplifying it just a tad would help!

Hi Ryan,

Welcome to LibriVox! Chapter 4 is yours. Please read the first post of this thread carefully.

Please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. If can be your real name, forum name, or a pseudonym ~ whatever you prefer

Also, since this is your first recording, we ask that you send in a 1-minute test recording. This is not an audition, it's just to make sure the sound quality and the recording settings are all right - often things can be improved at the outset that are difficult to fix later. Please go to https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=1-Minute_Test to find out what to record for your 1-minute test, and how to upload the recording. In the LibriVox Uploader, please select 'tests - tests' from the MC drop-down, and then post your test recording in the "Post Your 1-Minute Test Recording Here" forum, rather than in this thread - you'll get feedback more quickly there.

Thanks, and have fun!
