Hi! I'd love feedback on my recording. I'm obviously not a native speaker, so that's why I have difficulty with some parts of the text :lol: . You can hear a key press right at the end of the recording, that's me trying to use a disconnected keyboard. I figured that it doesn't influence the test much, so I left it in.

Hello Heinter

I reviewed your test sample, and while it sounds good there are some technical changes needed. LibriVox requires audio that is 128kbps constant bit rate MP3, 44.1kHz sample rate, mono, and between 86dB and 92dB, preferably 89-90. Your test audio settings are correct, although the volume is on the high side of the range at 91.7dB. You should reduce by -3dB going forward.

No need for a new test.

Your audio meets LibriVox requirements, so you are good to go.

Happy narrating!

Thanks for the feedback, I'll lower the volume a bit.
