Hi! Here's my one minute test for feedback, please and thank you!

I am using Audacity, on Windows, with an AT2020 mic through Audiobox USB96 PreSonus.

Best,

Welcome Shannon

I reviewed your test sample, and while it sounds good there are some technical changes needed. LibriVox requires audio that is 128kbps constant bit rate MP3, 44.1kHz sample rate, mono, and between 86dB and 92dB, preferably 89-90 (about -23dB RMS in Audition). Your test audio is 192kbps and volume too high at 92.8dB.

You can pre-check your audio yourself by downloading the free Checker app: https://cgjennings.ca/projects/checker/
Passed with Warnings is a fail with regard to volume.

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