(My audacity recording software was picking up my voice in low volume, so I had to increase it. It may fall above the normal 86-92 db range, but if needed I can go back in and make it to that level.)

Time: 2:52

Thank you for these recordings!
You are right; you amped this one up too much and it is out of range. "Amplify" it by -4.5 and you should be on target. But, wait until lomond gives you a full PL report on these in case there is anything else to take care of.

To check your volume in decibels, you can use Checker https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Checker, written specifically for LibriVox. Just drag a file into the Checker window to check validation on all LV specs, including a readout of actual volume in decibels. Use the Amplification feature in Audacity to bring the volume closer to the LV target of 89 dB.

It is also good to adjust your recording settings and environment so that your raw recordings are closet to the target.

Thanks again for your participation!

Good news, Kishan. The only thing that needs to be done to Chapter 21 is to lower the audio level and it will be PL OK. Nicely read.

More good news, Kishan.

Both Chapter 35 and Chapter 39 were PL OK.

The audio for Chapter 39 was a bit light but still in the acceptable range.

When will we hear more from you, Kishan? Soon, I hope.

RosiesReading, sorry it took me so long to let you know that Chapters 19 and 20 were just what Puss in Boots, Jr., would have wanted. Definitely PL OK.

And that means it's over to me, doesn't it? :D

I am at work now, and the next two evenings will be very busy for me. I hope that I'll be able to snatch a few minutes in between activities to start it validating. But it may be a few days.

Good work, everyone!

Thank you, Devorah. Don't stress; a few days is not critical by any means. I appreciate your help with this project.

Thank you to ALL of our readers who gave your voices to these cute stories. I'm sure many will enjoy listening.
Thank you Lomond for all of the hours of listening that went into this project.

Our next David Cory book, Little Jack Rabbit and Professor Crow, is now on the launch pad.
