Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Before starting a solo project, please complete and get an OK on a one-minute test to check your technical settings. It's not an audition, but to simply confirm that your files meet our requirements Post your test in the Listeners Wanted Forum and an experienced LVer will have a listen and check the specs for you.  It would be a shame to record a whole section, only to have to redo it because of some simple setting that is incorrect.  

Even if you are experienced with recording elsewhere, please send in a short test recording to check that all the technical settings meet LibriVox requirements before recording a full chapter.

1-Minute Test

Also as a new reader, we strongly recommend that you record a section or two in group projects before embarking on a solo, so that you can get a sense of the amount of time and effort a commitment to a solo recording would entail, as well as become a little familiar with the community here and our process for submitting files, prooflistening, etc. As a soloist, you will also be responsible not only for recording and editing all the sections, but you will also be your own book coordinator (BC) which means you will be responsible for entering all the information (titles, time, links) into the workflow system.

Moving this to Book Suggestions for now, to clean up the Launch Pad. When you're ready to start this project after doing the 1-minute test and hopefully completing a section in a group project, post in this thread, and we'll move it back to the Launch Pad for you.

Hi!

Wuthering Heights is one of the books on my very long list of books to read at some point. Seeing as it doesn't appear that anyone else has claimed this, may I give it a shot?

I've never uploaded anything other than my 1-minute test before yesterday, so this will be an interesting endeavour.

Hi Waluchadji. This was set up by the original poster to be a solo project. Please read a section or two in a group project first, then if you are still interested in reading Wuthering Heights, you can set up your own solo project in the LaunchPad - Instructions here viewtopic.php?t=13513

Hi Waluchadji!
Just to explain that sometimes we move solo-to-be-launched projects in the Book Suggestions area until the soloist is ready to start, to keep the Launch Pad tidy. It does not necessarily mean that the title hasn't been done before. Wuthering Heights in particular has 3 versions in the catalogue, and of course any reader is welcomed to add their own version. I just wanted to clarify that this is not a case of a book not claimed before. Thanks!
