If no one else is interested, I would like to try sections 2 and 3, Article Ten (Argument Impeaching Andrew Johnson) Part 1 - Benjamin F. Butler and Article Ten (Argument Impeaching Andrew Johnson) Part 2 - Benjamin F. Butler.

To clarify, the opening comments, if I understand correctly, it should read:
--"Section 2 of The World's Best Orations, Volume 3. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit librivox.org." --- "The World's Best Orations, Volume 3. Article Ten (Argument Impeaching Andrew Johnson) Part 1 - Benjamin F. Butler..." - Should I also include the names David J. Brewer and/or Ferd P. Kaiser?

My apologies for my rookie-ness, but alas, this is who I am at the moment.

Welcome again to Librivox, Daniel!
It would be great to have you record sections 2-3 for this project (Orations). 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). It's great that you're eager to record but many new users have trouble with their first section so instead of assigning all the sections you requested, I've just done section 2. Once that has been uploaded successfully, I would be more than happy to assign you any other sections you would like.Your claim is confirmed - you have one month to submit section 2. Looking forward to hearing your section and have you help out with this project!

You have correctly discerned the intro to the disclaimer. You don't need to mention the editors.

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.).

Thank you, InTheDesert, for the welcome and that VERY solid advice. That was daunting and took a lot longer than I expected, especially considering the cat that wanted to add her contributions. - Considering my still extreme newb status, would you prefer I wait until a proof-listener has had an opportunity to review my submission or would you like me to jump into recording section 3? I leave it up to someone with considerably more knowledge and wisdom on this topic.

You have a good point. Let me just check in with our DPL since I see it hasn't been listened to yet.
