Hello, and welcome to LibriVox! I have assigned it to you.

Before you record, please pop over to the 1-minute test forum and record a test piece. viewforum.php?f=21 This is not required, but it is a chance to make sure that you have all of your technical settings correct for recording at Librivox. I'll have a listen for you.

Happy recording!
