I just wanted to add my voice to the thanks on the superb job with these videos. They are amazing! As a Librivox (and audiobook narration) 'newbie' your videos have been tremendously helpful. Especially your case studies, and just watching how you work. As an aside I'd been looking around for something that clicks loudly to mark errors in the track. I didn't even think of just making my own clicking sound so thanks for that little tidbit.
Regards,
Darryl

Hello Adrian,
This series of videos was one thing that prompted me to volunteer. I was looking on how to join Librivox and I found these videos. Thanks for putting them out there.
