Thank you!

Great work! You did quite well! I just have one PL note is that there should be 5 seconds of silence at the end of the recording.

The technical specs do pass now. The filename just needs to be changed to this: bestorations03_64_various_128kb.mp3

We are almost there, great work so far!

Welcome to Librivox, allendixon!
It would be great to have you record sections 51-52 for this project (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).

Your claim is confirmed - you have one month to submit sections 51-52. 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.).

Can you confirm the correct reading for "Journals Cong. Confed." (Section 52)? From my research this is "Journals of the Congress of the Confederate States of America".
