Welcome to Librivox, Lii21!
It would be great to have you record section 14 for this project (Wedding Day in All Ages and Countries). It looks like you haven't completed your 1 minute test recording yet. It's not really a test, more like a technical specs check to make sure you can produce mp3s that fit the Librivox technical standards. You can find all the info you need here. There is a video tutorial on the test recording here here and some more detailed instructional videos here. You might also want to try this tool to check your own technical specs so that you can pass the test recording on your first try. The most common issue is with overall volume and the easiest fix is to use the Audacity 'Loudness Normalization' effect set to -19 LUFS in 'perceived loudness' mode. Post your recording in this forum and once someone replies to your thread to give it an OK, you can post back in this thread saying you're ready to record. See you soon (hopefully)! Don't be one of the many people who appear and then disappear without a trace! You'd be missing out on all the fun of Librivox.

Welcome to Librivox (again), Lii21!
It would be great to have you record section 14 for this project (Wedding Day in All Ages and Countries). 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). Your claim is confirmed - you have one month to submit section 14. Looking forward to hearing your section and have you help out with this project!
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.).

The uploader has been a bit slow recently and it's a big file. Perhaps try again at another time in the day and see if it is less temperamental.

It could be due to the length. It doesn't like files that are longer than 60 minutes, even though that length is okay.Roselbex wrote: ↑April 21st, 2024, 2:42 pm Section 4 Length 1:00:52

Great job. Interesting chapter although that bit about Jamaica at the end seemed out of place.Roselbex wrote: ↑April 21st, 2024, 2:42 pm Section 4 Length 1:00:52
