[WESTERN ADVENTURE] With Carson and Fremont, by Edwin L. Sabin -brrot
Hi there! I'm a huge Western fan and would love to record "Fremont calls again." I'm a newbie to Librivox, so please let me know any steps I'll need to take for my first recording! I've already set up and configured my microphone and Audacity and posted my 1 minute test. Thanks!

I would be thrilled to have you read for us in this project.
I do need to know exactly how you would like to be listed in the LibriVox catalog. This can be your real name, pseudonym, or any nickname/handle you wish. This is how you will be credited for all of your LV work.

I would like to read section 13 - To the Great Salty Lake.
I would like to read section 13 - To the Great Salty Lake.
Hello! Here is section 9 (13:51). Almost sounds like they were the first recorded white water rafting trip! Glad everyone was ok.

Thank you for your interest in this project.DesertWanderer wrote: ↑February 12th, 2024, 6:44 am Hello,
I would like to read section 13 - To the Great Salty Lake.
We do, however, request that our new readers first complete a one-minute test recording to check out all of your technical specifications and any reading issues.
New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
Here is a direct link to instructions for the one-minute sample recording:
https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=1-Minute_Test
Among the useful information there you will find instructions for completing your test recording. Once you have the "OK" on that, post again here and you are free to record for this project. Let us know how you would like to be credited in the LibriVox catalog - real name, pseudonym or any nickname or handle you wish.
I would strongly recommend, however, that you begin with something a bit shorter so you get a feel for the time and effort it takes to produce a finished recording, and for our process here.

I have just a couple of fixes:
At 2:55
You inserted “never” into “had been disappointed”
At 8:53
A lot of the French pronunciation is a bit off; but I think most of it can just be left as is. However, this sentence really should be redone. I’ve set up an example for you at the link below. On the left side where you see the sentence “Je m’en vais mourir avant que de te lâcher”, there is a small speaker symbol which will play it for you.

If you encounter more French (not sure, I haven't looked ahead) you might like to use this website (https://translate.google.com/) to learn the pronunciations. Just copy and paste the word, phrase or sentence into the box on the left side making sure that French is indicated as the language. It will automatically provide you with that symbol to click to hear a sample. Fortunately, most of the French is translated in the text, which is a good thing. But LV may have some French listeners who'd want it to be closer.

Thanks, I'll do the test recording and then get back to you. I actually did a dry-run reading on chapter 13 and didn't realize how much effort it would take.
Hi Betsy! Thanks so much for the constructive feedback. Very helpful. I continue to lean heavily on Google Translate, and often I'll sit there and play the phrase, and practice it, several times. But it's like it flies out of my head as soon as I put the microphone back on record lol. I do find it easier to try to break the phrase down into smaller chunks and put it all together.BetsyWalker wrote: ↑February 13th, 2024, 5:53 pmHi Claire - It was an exciting river trip!Cbteddy wrote: ↑February 12th, 2024, 7:54 pm Hello!

I've left remarks on you test recording, and it is definitely a pass, so you are good to go.
I just need to know exactly how you would like to be listed in the LibriVox catalog. This can be your real name, pseudonym, or any nickname/handle you wish. This is how you will be credited for all of your LV work.
You are free to start recording in the mean time.
