Has no one wanted to read this book? I have another book by Amy Le Feuvre (the secret bridge) that I absolutely love! I have no experience reading for LibriVox, but I would love to read this book! does it matter that this suggestion was made in 2017?

This book hasn't been read for Librivox yet and you're more than welcome to read it if you'd like - it doesn't matter when this suggestion was made.

I think the best way to go about it is:

Step 1:

• Do the one-minute test https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=1-Minute_Test
• Get the OK, or
• Fix any issues, then get the OK
• Do the happy dance

Step 2:

• Sign up for a short section in a group project
• Record, edit, upload and post your recording in the thread to get feedback
• Get the PL OK, or
• Fix any issues, then get the PL OK
• Do the happy dance

Step 3:

• Repeat step 2 with a section in a group project with a different proof listener. Different proof listeners give different kind of feedback sometimes, or just have a different set of ears, and may offer additional advice. By getting diverse feedback, you can work on any newbie issues so that you're better prepared and more experienced to start a solo project

Step 4:

• Ready to start a solo project? Read this post viewtopic.php?t=13513 and follow the next steps from there
• Having fun recording for group projects? Feel free to keep recording for group projects as long as you like. All those group projects need readers, too!

Do you have to do a test recording before every chapter? Or before every book?

[Rapunzelina]

Just once, to make sure you have the correct settings and your microphone is set up correctly. So for example, if you change your microphone or recording device, and you need feedback on your new setup, you could do another test. But otherwise, just once is enough

[IonaMuirgel2002]

Thanks so much for the quick response!

I have to wait before I can start recording for my software to be set up, and my mic to arrive. I will be back on as soon as I can ...

Waiting for a new mic is exciting!

[IonaMuirgel2002]

I have a temporary mic that I borrowed from a friend that I am testing out on the software. If it works I will probably buy one of that brand.
