1 Minute Test Feedback:

Welcome to Librivox Daryl and thanks for posting your test file. We look forward to you joining the community!

Reading Feedback:
You have a powerful, confident voice.

Technical Feedback:

• 00:00 Librivox needs mp3 files with a constant bitrate of 128kbps. This file is 192kbps.

Once you've tweaked these settings, upload the file again using the same filename (uploading to the same filename is important when you are submitting Librivox files) and post in the thread and I'll check it for you again!

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.
