Welcome to Librivox, kevalam!
It would be great to have you record section 21 for this project (World's Best Orations). It looks like you've just passed your 1 minute test recording which means you are ready to go. Don't forget in all future recordings to make any changes that were suggested when you did the test recording (eg: if you needed to amplify, you'll need to do that for every section you submit).

In order to assign a section to you in the Magic Window (MW) of this project, I've entered you into the database of readers. Your reader page is accessible here and a list of your assigned sections is here (you might want to bookmark it). Your claim is confirmed - you have two months to submit it. Looking forward to hearing your section and have you help out with this project!

Some common questions that new readers ask:

• Footnotes: They are optional. You can read all, some or none. An easy way to mark them is to say 'footnote' then read the footnote then say 'end footnote'.
• Quotes: You can mark these by saying 'quote' then reading the quote and then saying 'end quote'. You can decide whether to say quote at all - sometimes it will be clear from context. I'd suggest saying it if the quotation spans multiple sentences.
• Non-English phrases: We do have to read them. You could 1) pronounce it however you want 2) post in this thread and ask for someone to record it for you so you can either mimic it or splice it into your own recording 3) try Forvo for individual words or the sound icon on Google Translate for a text to speech version to copy.
• Roman numerals: Read these as their corresponding number.
• Abbreviations: You can choose to expand these or not to. You could say 'e.g' or 'for example'.
• Heading numbering: Sometimes books use roman numerals and digits for two different levels of headings. I think a good solution to this is to say 'first, second' etc. for roman numeral headings (I, II etc.) and 'one, two' etc. for digit headings (1, 2 etc.).

Howdy from Texas!

IIRC from Church History class, Athanasius's theology was very dense. Feeling very dense myself today, I'd like to take a whack at

27 The Divinity of Christ - Athanasius (Including bio) 1940 words

maybe as a refresher on that long forgotten college course....

Section 21 PL Notes:

• 00:00 Note (no change needed): The volume of this track is 86.11dB. LV requires the overall volume for the track (measured by ReplayGain - you can try this tool if you want to check the volume) to be between 86-92dB (with 89dB being the ideal). The file falls within the outer ends of that range and so doesn't need to be changed but watch that it doesn't end up outside the range. The easiest way to automatically set the volume is to use the 'Loudness Normalization' effect (set to -19LUFS) in recent versions of Audacity before exporting the track as an MP3. If you use RMS normalization, set it to -21dB. Another way would be to use the Amplify effect set to 3dB.
• 00:00 Note (no change needed): The filename is not correct for this section. It should be bestorations01_21_brewer_128kb.mp3 instead of sec21_the_blessed_dead.mp3. Please use the correct filename when you reupload!
• 00:01 Max 1 second of silence at the start of the track please!
• 00:02 The intro should be "Section 21 of The World's Best Orations, Volume 1. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit librivox.org." [Optional: "Read by your name."] "The World's Best Orations: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time, Volume 1, by David J Brewer and Edward A Allen. The Blessed Dead - Albert the Great."
• 02:50 We need 5 exactly seconds of silence at the end of the track (as close as you can make it).

For fastest spot checks, you can copy these notes and change the timestamps to the new time so I know where to check.

Thank you for the feedback, I have made the corrections. I hope it is okay now.
