1 minute test using the provided sample on the wiki. I am using Audacity on a Windows 10 laptop with an AT2020 XLR microphone through an interface.

I ended up applying noise reduction to eliminate some of the background noise, ran the mp3 through the checker and got the green light to proceed but I think my plosives might need some work. Please let me know if any changes are needed.

Thank you.

1 Minute Test Feedback:

Welcome to Librivox Travis and thanks for posting your test file. We look forward to you joining the community!

The technical specs of your test are fine and you are ready to record! Make sure you use the same settings as your test in future recordings. For any future files you submit, make sure that the intro has 0.75 seconds of silence at the start and 5 seconds of silence at the end. Also check the required filename in the project thread.

The best first step would be to take a section in a group project. You can find a list of open projects here (non-English here).

When you claim your very first section, don't forget to also post the name that you would like to appear in the catalog. Some people use their real name, a pseudonym or just a repeat of their forum username. You might prefer privacy or to use it as an opportunity to advertise yourself as a narrator.

You have a clear, confident voice.
