Chapter 64, done. I had a small issue with microphone hum. If you can hear it, let me know.
Looking forward to your response.

Welcome to Librivox, AbigailWK!
It would be great to have you record section 62 for this project (Proverbs). It looks like you haven't completed your 1 minute test recording yet. It's not really a test, more like a technical specs check to make sure you can produce mp3s that fit the Librivox technical standards. You can find all the info you need here. There is a video tutorial on the test recording here here and some more detailed instructional videos here. You might also want to try this tool to check your own technical specs so that you can pass the test recording on your first try. The most common issue is with overall volume and the easiest fix is to use the Audacity 'Loudness Normalization' effect set to -19 LUFS in 'perceived loudness' mode. Post your recording in this forum and once someone replies to your thread to give it an OK, you can post back in this thread saying you're ready to record. See you soon (hopefully)! Don't be one of the many people who appear and then disappear without a trace! You'd be missing out on all the fun of Librivox.

Welcome to Librivox (again), Abigail!
It would be great to have you record section 62 for this project (Proverbs). 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).

In order to assign a section to you in the Magic Window (MW) of this project, I've entered you into the database of readers. Your reader page is accessible here and a list of your assigned sections is here (you might want to bookmark it). Your claim is confirmed - you have one month to submit section 62. 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.).

These sections haven't been proof-listened yet but here are the technical notes. Could you resolve the technical issues and then re-upload the file before prooflistening?
  • We need 0.75 seconds of silence at the start of each Librivox track and 5 seconds at the end (or as close as you can make it). Currently, it's about 0.6 at the start and about 0 at the end.
  • We need 0.75 seconds of silence at the start of each Librivox track and 5 seconds at the end (or as close as you can make it). Currently, it's about 1.4 at the start and about 0 at the end.

My newest proof-listening dated May 2,

Section 35

00:00 RANK and Riches, not RAIN and Riches

00:42 Proverbs 8 verses 18 and 21, not Proverbs 18

3:02 are LINKED to, not LIKED to …

3:45 to the PURSUIT, not the PUREST

Section 36

1:37 Did not give the quote’s reference Proverbs 8 verse 22-31

7:18 again quote’s reference not given Jerimiah 17 verse 4

Section 62

0:25 The Wisdom of is muffled. Redo the reading of the title, please.

Also you must say read the quote and the reference to the quote, in this case Proverbs 9 verse 30.

1:00 Don’t need to say “Quotations” , if you still want to, it’s Quote, unquote.
Ps is Psalms so it’s Psalms 107 verse 6.

1:49 First two words in this sentence muffled, it’s “It is..”

2:02 A Soul Lost, not a lost soul

2:32 Might or might not LAY, you’re missing the word “lay” in the recording.

3:00 Again if you want to quote, you say “quote (then the quote) unquote”. But you need the end quote so the reader knows where you are ending it.

3:21 ..and if IT do not, not “if to”

3:28 where you say quotation, it is muffled.

3:58 FOOTSTEPS not steps

4:10 WHEN AND TO WIN??? Should be “to win”

5:16 Are you moving your mouth away from the microphone? I can hardly hear the word “lest”. This could be why you are sounding muffled in some places.
