Section 7, Seaton's Aunt, is ready for PL! I believe it's the longest story in the collection, so enjoy!

Hi, I tried to follow your link for the text to read and I get a page that says "this text is not available online" - Could it depend on where I am?

It was my intention to read some of the sections before deciding whether I want to record. Thank you.

Try this link to the Google copy of the book and see if it works: https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Riddle_and_Other_Stories/9eZMAAAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover

Hi and welcome to Librivox! Before I can assign a section to you, I'll need just a couple of things. First, can you head over here and do a 1-minute test?
viewforum.php?f=21
This isn't an audition or anything of that nature. This is just a quick test to verify that all your tech specs and settings are correctly configured, so you get off and recording as quick as possible!
Once you get the ok over there, you can head back over here and claim that section.

Oh and one other quick thing, how would you like to be represented in the catalog? This could be your real name, user name or anything else you'd like.
Thanks!

Hi, no, the google link doesn't work. I have now volunteered to read something else, so I won't be reading this for now. So, as long as nobody else has the same issue, all is well for now.

Thank you.

I posted a one minute test last year but it appears to be gone so I made another one!

Here's the link to the forum page: viewtopic.php?t=101022

Also, I would prefer to go by: Sabrina Warren

Thanks for considering me!

It looks like the volume is quite low at 77db. Librivox recordings are required to be between 86-92db and preferrably somewhere in the middle of that range. I'd suggest amplifying the volume of the whole track by about 10 to 12db and then re-exporting it. Once we get the volume at the right level, I can mark it ready for PL. Thanks!
