[COMPLETE] The Four Feathers by A. E. W. Mason - arb
Anne,
This story has intrigued me from the first time I saw the original movie (1939). I saw the updated movie and purchased the book in paperback with the new movie cover. Both movies differ somewhat from the book. I hadn't realized the book was public domain. I guess I thought it originated in the 1930s with the first movie.
Anyways, I'd like to read some of the remaining sections. I haven't recorded for Librivox before, but I have narrated audiobooks before. I also worked in radio for more than 12 years. I will post the test reading within a couple of days.

That would be fine - few things I need
1. I'll put you down for chapters 12 and 13 - if you wanted different let me know
2. You have a choice of name that appears in the catalogue - mostly it is either the forum name or your real name - let me know what you want. You can also have a personal URL if you have one you would like , otherwise your name is linked to your Librivox works
3. You can read a minute or 2 of your chapter if you want as a tech test, and post it here. I'll check it out .

I've had a listen - vol and technical bits are fine as is your reading - and it sounds good. The only thing I would add is to be careful of your 'plosives on the P's , they aren't too bad but it would be nicer without. If you are using a headset the mic position is a bit harder to control , and you can't really use a "pop filter" - people round here use anything from a baby sock , nylon stocking stretched over wire coat hanger (or embroidery hoop) to expensive shop bought varietydwwolfe wrote:Here is my test recording:

But as far as I am concerned - start reading

I recorded my chapters last night, I'm working OT this week and then rock climbing next weekend so gimme about 2 weeks and they will be all done.
After I was done recoridng last night I didnt clean up my normal mess of cords,mic, etc. My husband who was on nightshift, poked me this morning at 5am when he got home and asked "why the hell is there a microphone in a sock hanging from our lightsabers?" HA! The lightsabers act as my micboom, you get the rest
