Thanks! I loved the perspective of the piece and living in England, I appreciate the slight against the English voting system. Not quite so bad as that today though the first-past-the-post still leads to inequities in the proportions of MPs compared to the numbers voting for each party.

PL OK!

I appear to have inadvertantly read section 32 as well as I'd not noticed that it was a different oration. I will separate the sections and submit 32 as a different recording and edit 31 to remove it from the section. Please advise. Thanks.

Oops, I didn't notice. Yes, please separate it and upload, thankyou!

Here are the separate sections ready for PL:

Section 31 only edited to remove what is now 32 and for Section 32 added the intro and outro for the section, rest of reading unchanged. Hopefully this will be acceptable. Please advise. Thank you.

Welcome to Librivox, hazelcinn!
It would be great to have you record sections for this project (World's Best Orations). It looks like you haven't completed your 1 minute test recording yet. It's not really a test, more like a technical specs check to make sure you can produce mp3s that fit the Librivox technical standards. You can find all the info you need here. There is a video tutorial on the test recording here here and some more detailed instructional videos here. You might also want to try this tool to check your own technical specs so that you can pass the test recording on your first try. The most common issue is with overall volume and the easiest fix is to use the Audacity 'Loudness Normalization' effect set to -19 LUFS in 'perceived loudness' mode. Post your recording in this forum and once someone replies to your thread to give it an OK, you can post back in this thread saying you're ready to record. See you soon (hopefully)! Don't be one of the many people who appear and then disappear without a trace! You'd be missing out on all the fun of Librivox.
