Welcome to LibriVox jinx Smile (I hope you don't live up to that name Razz )
Great first reading, and all the technical stuff is correct Thumbs Up

I did do a Normalize (-1.0) which amplified a bit and got rid of the DC offset, also a light noise cleaning to rid the file of background hum. PLease take a listen and tell me what you think.
Do you use a analog mic, one with the small round plug?

How would you like to be identified in the LV Catalog and do you have a URL you would like linked?

If you don't have a permanent external page you'd like to link to (and many, probably most, including me, don't) then clicking on your name as a reader (in the Magic Window) will take people to your own LV catalog page, which will look something like this.

Thanks for the lovely reading Katharine Very Happy

A couple of notes on your reading, the volume was a bit too loud, there was some clipping - not enough to cause distortion though.
If you back off from the mic, that may just do the trick Wink

Now I get technical here... Could you check your MP3 options, I show you have a variable bit rate of 127 kbps, - be sure the 'Constant' Bit Rate Mode is checked this in the MP3 options for Export file (or the equivalent if you are not using Audacity).

So I lowered your volume a bit using Normalize with a -1 setting and renamed your file with lowercase initials.

Don't worry, all this technical stuff takes time, and I look forward to hearing you again soon Smile


Thank you very much for your kind advice and modification Mr. Green

Next time I'll adjust the headset and check the mp3 options Razz

Cheers Very Happy

Katharine

I'm fine with being identified simply as jinx and I have no external URL. Smile

I was just listening to everybody's readings on this one. They're all amazing and I'm so jealous of everyone's accents.
