Thanks for the heads-up.

Hello,

I would love to read
33 Capitulo LIX 2,837 words available

According to the list, it is still available.

Thanks for your consideration.

Best,

Maria

It's all yours.

As you're a new reader, perhaps you'd like to submit a short (about a minute long) test read just to make sure all your settings are correct, before reading the entire chapter.

How would you like to be credited in the catalog? We can also link your name to a url (personal page, blog, etc), if you'd like.

Thank you!

I have a demo - since I do voice-overs - but surely you would prefer listening to me reading relevant text rather than a radio ad!

Will you supply the text?

About the credit... not sure yet and/or linking it to an url. Will think about it.

Best,

Maria

i'll take section 37 (el mas corto de los que son "available"!) although i don't know how well my accent has held up, two years-post-spanish major...

Just pick a few sentences out of the chapter you chose. It's just to double check that the settings are correct (after one minute of recording rather than 30 or 40!), volume high enough, etc (though as you have experience recording, it's probably not as big a deal).

For the credit, there's no rush. We're nowhere near ready to catalog this puppy yet!

The default url, if you don't give us one, is your librivox catalog page (you can also get to it by clicking on your username in the magic window of any project you've signed up for)

whew! that was the most challenging reading i've done yet. took me almost two hours! i'm sure my inflection will sound terrible to a native speaker. maybe i'll stick with readings in english. :)

section 37 (27:39)

Dear Karen and Gesine,

Finally I have finished section 25, the link is:

The length of the recording is 31:22

The file size is almost 30 MB

And by the way, I would like to read section 41

Faithfully yours,

Eduardo Islas

Gracias, Eduardo.

I've put you down for section 41.

Hola,
Quisiera colaborar con el proyecto, pero no encuentro el texto del 2do volumen.

Según pude ver, este enlace http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/2000 solo contiene el primer volumen.

No, es el texto completo. Debería ser posible hacer una busqueda del texto "capítulo ##" cambiando ## por el número del capítulo que te interese (en números romanos), y pasar al segundo resultado para llegar al segundo volumen.

Ah perfecto. Ya confirmé que ambos volúmenes están disponibles.

Tengo otra pregunta: el único micrófono que tengo para hacer las grabaciones es el que viene con mi laptop (MacBook). Es aceptable hacer las grabaciones con este micrófono?

Creo que es más fácil si escuchan una prueba:

Después de grabarla, utilicé 'Noise Reduction' y 'Normalize' para mejorar la calidad. Si la calidad es aceptable, estoy dispuesto a que me asignen una sección.
