Hello. Here's my reading of Alexander's Pope's poem, "Solitude."

This is my first Librivox recording and I hope that I got all the technical parts right. Please let me know if there are any problems with it.

Merci, Ezwa. Very Happy

Thanks, Shurtagal. Very Happy

Lovely, Lise. Everything looks right but the volume is pretty low. I can amplify it but you'll want to turn up your input volume a bit or amplify your future recordings. Thumbs Up
