Elijah is in as DPL.

They're sorted. I'll have my section finished by tomorrow.InTheDesert wrote: ↑April 15th, 2024, 7:40 pmCertainly, once you have the technical issues with your test file sorted out

Welcome to Librivox (again), kaci!
It would be great to have you record section 1 for this project (Blickling Homilies). 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 1. 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.).

Hello! I know I promised it by the 26th, but I ran into some difficulties with my Internet connection that slowed the upload down considerably.
If any proofreaders would give it a listen, I'd be very grateful!

This section hasn'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?
- The volume of this track is 95.22dB. LV requires the overall volume for the track (measured by ReplayGain - you can try this tool if you want to check the volume) to be between 86-92dB (with 89dB being the ideal). The easiest way to fix this automatically is to use the 'Loudness Normalization' effect (set to -19LUFS in 'perceived loudness' mode) in recent versions of Audacity before exporting the track as an MP3. If you use RMS normalization, set it to -21dB. Another way to fix it would be to use the Amplify effect set to -6dB.
- 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 3 at the end.

Hi Amy, could you remove the DPL notice in the other forum now that we have found a DPL? Thankyou!

Sure thing.

I would like to record section 13: Assumption of the Virgin Mary Part 1 for this project. It has a been a long time since I did anything on the volunteer side of LibriVox, and then it wasn't much. I would like to get back into it, and what better way than to read about Our Lady?

It would be great to have you record section 13 for this project (Blickling Homilies). My suggestion would be that before you record, you do another 1 minute test to make sure that your technical specs match what LV requires

Hey there! I went ahead and PL'ed the reading for your recording. It all sounds great! You will just need to edit the following post from InTheDesert, here, and it will be PL OK then:kaci wrote: ↑April 27th, 2024, 11:30 am Hello!

Hey! Sorry for the delay. I lowered the volume, added a second of silence to the beginning, and five seconds to the end. I can't use the checker, but I think this will be okay:ej400 wrote: ↑May 4th, 2024, 10:34 pmHey there! I went ahead and PL'ed the reading for your recording. It all sounds great!

If not, just let me know. If I still can't get it, my part may have to go to someone else. I don't want to hold up the recording process.
