Thanks,

Welcome to Librivox, Veenaswa!
It would be great to have you record sections 22-27 for this project (Letters to a German Princess). 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).

It's great that you're eager to record but many new users have trouble with their first section so instead of assigning all the sections you requested, I've just done section 22. Once that has been uploaded successfully, I would be more than happy to assign you any other sections you would like.Your claim is confirmed - you have two months to submit section 22. 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.).

Nicely read

There is just one small edit required: at the end, instead of "End of letter 11" I heard "End of section 11".

Also, please note that because of the number of letters included in this project, three digits are to be used in the file name. i.e.: letters1_011_euler_128kb.mp3

Thanks

hello,

I want to do more letters. I will check if few are still there after completing my couple of projects.
As it is mentioned, these are not very easy to read in the beginning, then it becomes challenging and interesting too.
I really enjoyed all 3 of them.

Letter 11 is PL Okay

For Letter 10, around 6:16 I hear "wind" twice.
Also, at the same point you begin to read the foot note. When reading footnotes, you should preface them by saying "Footnote", and at the end you should say "End of footnote" before resuming the main text.

If you would just make those small edits and reupload, we should be all set. Do not forget to drop a note here so that I know to spot-listen the new file.

I enjoy your reading and look forward to more. These little technical matters are just part of the learning curve that we all encounter. Keep up the good work.

Also

I accidentally uploaded the file to "icequeen" initially,

so she's got a random file in her queue. Apologies!

Hello, can I read section 23 please? Thankyou.

I certainly have uploaded to the wrong MC before.

Good job with the reading. However, at the end there should be 5 seconds of silence: I heard only 2.8 seconds of silence at the end.

Please add enough silence to the tail to increase the silence to 5 seconds and re-export to MP3. Then upload using the same file name. Do not forget to post a note here in the thread when you are done.
