9 Meg Goes to Vanity Fair
29 Calls
30 Consequences
47 Harvest Time

(those should be plenty for a while! )

Thank you! Chapter 9 got claimed just before you, sorry about that, but the rest are all yours

Here is your personal reader page - if you click "reader section details" you can see a list of all the projects you have in progress, along with their statuses, which can be useful for keeping track of sections you need to record. https://librivox.org/reader/10710

I don't have time to check your test right now, but I'll hopefully get to it this evening or tomorrow! Thanks!

Aww, shucks! But thanks for letting me know as I was just about to record it!

Charity,
Your test sounds great! There's just one thing that needs correcting - the volume is a bit too low. If you're using Audacity, select the whole file, go to Effects | Amplify, and amplify by 5 db. Then re-export and re-upload and you should be good!

OK, here's Chapter 29 (Calls):

https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/littlewomen_29_alcott_128kb.mp3

30 minutes/47.856 seconds; 28.87 KB.

Quick question: at the beginning, is it OK that I said "Chapter 29. Calls" after the intro part, or should I just have said "Calls"?

I think this was amplified properly, it seems to have a bit more background sound. Thank you for checking

Chapter 46 sounds fabulous! You did a great job! There just needs to be a little less silence at the start--it needs to be under one second.

Thanks for letting me listen! I really enjoyed it!

Chapter 29 is PL OK!
