I'd like to try The Doctor’s Front Yard. I've completed my 1 min test and thought a short story would be a good thing to try.

Thanks,
Nodoka
Hello there and welcome to librivox! Congrats on completing your one minute test! How would you like to be credited? I can set up your reader page which will list all your librivox recordings :D

The Doctor's Front Yard is over 6,000 words long, so I'd guess about 40 to 50 minutes of recording time. If your okay with that? Otherwise, we could recommend something a little smaller for your first recording?

I'd like my reader page set up for Cameron Mixon, thank you for helping me with that.

I think I can handle an hour. So far I've found my biggest time sink to be editing since I'm not fast at it yet and still learning the tricks.


Thanks,

Here is section 22 - "The Coming of the Ship"

https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/doctorsredlamp_22_moulton_128kb.mp3
(23:59)

This story includes a paragraph of preface which is important to set the stage and I've read the paragraph in its entirety. However, the opening two sentences of the preface read, "A selected reading from The Head of a Hundred. Edited by Maud Wilder Goodwin." In the true spirit of LV, I've left both sentences in, but it seems confusing since Maud Wilder Goodwin is also the author of this particular story. Please advise. Easy to delete those two sentences if necessary.

Thanks much. This is my most challenging reading so far and I've given it my best effort.

Thank you very much! I'll have to ask our MC about that one when she comes back from her break, but we'll take a listen in the meantime! Thanks!

To Elijah and all concerned.

I am so sorry that I am so behind on the DPLing on the project, but last Monday morning(5/22), I was rushed to the Emergency Room and spent the next nine days in the hospital. I got home last night and am now ready to resume my labors here at LV.

As a result of the 7 rib fractures I had on 4/11, I had a Hemothorax, or blood in the chest cavity. They took out a little over 4 litres of blood and stuff. It was quite an experience. I could hardly breathe on Monday when I went in, but am much better now. Not right, but better.

I will start on catching up today.

Stacey,

Thanks for your good reading. I only found on little thing that you might want to look at:

10:21 his had been so much more a case of pity. You added the word 'of' between 'more' and 'a''. It may seem a little minor, but it think it is something that should be corrected.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Thanks! Sally
Sally,

Another great reading. I really enjoy listening to your work.

Here are a few things for you to look at:

A couple of things at the beginning. Your volume is 86.1, which is at the extreme lower limits of LV. The range for LV is 86-92 dB with an aim of 89, right in the middle. So, if you could go into Audacity and increase it by 3 dB, it would bring it right on. Also, by increasing the volume, you will also increase the background noise level, which is already high at 45, and 40 is the absolute upper limit desired, and the less the better. So, after adding the volume, if you could go into Noise Reduction in Audacity and use it to decrease the noise, I am sure you will be right on.

:20.5 The Doctor: An Old Virginia Fox-hunter. You left off “The Doctor:

17:31.5 and though February in Virginia is practically the same You said through.

Keep up the good work!!

You're so encouraging, Wayne, thank you so much. I've altered the volume etc and now it's passed the Checker test but I think it sounds awful! Before I rerecord the bits I got wrong, could you have a listen. It seems to me I might have to rerecord the whole thing. I think I might have messed it up..... :|

I checked the text, it's ok to leave the sentences in. Read as written. It's not disturbing to me.

Thanks
