Welcome Mike

Your test meets LibriVox specs, so well done. There is however too much room echo. You need a deader recording space.

You can find advice on improving issues like room echo in the Librivox wiki:

Please make a new test recording and post it in a reply to this message. I will come back and review it for you.

I appreciate your kind feedback, and submit this one. I'm looking forward to your answer again.

Still a lot of reverb. You need a much deader recording space. You also sound rather far from your mic. Should be 8 to 12 inches.

Try to improve your space some more. Even blanket tents and cushion forts can really help. As it is, your audio is hard to listen to.

Try again?

Hi Mike

I reviewed your previous tests, and noted that the specs ar correct, but your audio has excessive room reverb. This test also has too much reverb.

Please try to deaden your recording space and try again.

Please don't start a new thread. We want all the tests and feedback in one place.
