Your voice is pleasant and animated, and your test meets all the Librivox technical standards, so you're ready to start recording!
Just one note of caution. The volume of your test varied a bit at times, almost as if you were swaying towards and away from your mic. Try recording at the same set distance from your mic (and beside, rather than straight into it, to avoid plosives) and avoid moving if you can.
I suggest heading over to the "Readers Wanted: Short Works (Poetry & Prose)" forum to find your first recording. There are lots of short options there in all genres. Let the book coordinator of your first reading know if you want a different name than NMartin in the Librivox catalogue.
If you have questions along the way, the "Need Help? Got Advice?” forum is a useful place to get answers.
Happy reading!
Cheers,
Winnifred
