I'm using the Audacity software on a Mac computer using the built in microphone on my computer.
I ran this through the Checker tool, and it said it failed on the sampling rate, but I have my project and default sampling rate set to 44100 Hz.

Here is the link to my test recording: https://librivox.org/uploads/tests/test_holls.mp3

Please feel free to let me know if you have any suggested changes.
Thank you!

Please note, I found the setting I was missing and now this one passes in the checker app - https://librivox.org/uploads/tests/test_holls_x5.mp3
Sorry for any confusion! :)

The technical specs of your test are fine and you are ready to record! Make sure you use the same settings as your test in future recordings. For any future files you submit, make sure that the intro has 0.75 seconds of silence at the start and 5 seconds of silence at the end. Also check the required filename in the project thread.

The best first step would be to take a section in a group project. You can find a list of open projects here (non-English here).

When you claim your very first section, don't forget to also post the name that you would like to appear in the catalog. Some people use their real name, a pseudonym or just a repeat of their forum username. You might prefer privacy or to use it as an opportunity to advertise yourself as a narrator.

Reading Feedback:
You have a bright, pleasant voice.
