THIS BOOK IS NOW COMPLETE. ALL FILES CAN BE FOUND ON THE CATALOG PAGE:

http://librivox.org/the-father-of-british-canada-a-chronicle-of-carleton/


This is Volume 12 of the Chronicles of Canada Series

1. How to claim a part, and 'how it all works' here
   To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are “up for grabs.” Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you’d like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
   
2. New to recording?
   Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
   
3. Is there a deadline?
   Target completion date of this project: Dec 1, 2008 – but try to send your recordings as soon as you can. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it’ll go back to the pool. There’s no shame in this; we’re all volunteers and things happen.
   
   Please record within a month of claiming or post your intention of reading if life gets away from you or the chapter may be reassigned.
   
   
4. Where do I find the text?
   Source text (please only read from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/10044
   
5. Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)!

   Please leave 5 seconds silence at the end of your recording, or 10 seconds for files longer than 30 minutes!
   Also, please remember to check this thread frequently for updates!
   
8. AFTER recording:
   Need noise-cleaning?
   Listen to your file through headphones. If you can hear some background noise, you may want to clean it up a bit. The new (free) version 1.3.3. of Audacity (Mac/Win) has much improved noise-cleaning. See this LibriVox wiki page for a complete guide.

Hi Esther,

Would you like for me to do chapter 2?

Mike

[Starlite]

[miketheauctioneer]

Hello Esther,

It's me again, and here is chapter 2 for you.

You can sign me up for 3 if you want.

Take care,
Mike

[Starlite]

Chapter 3 is yours Mike. I've been snooping round your website. It's amazing how you can talk so fast but I can still understand you.

I'm glad though that you don't narrate so fast.

Esther

Guess you might say I'm a half fast narrator, but if you want to find out what happens in ch 4, I'll narrate it for you.

Hey Esther,

Probably need to do two and three over again, and be that much ahead on the Wolf Series.

Mike

[Starlite]

[miketheauctioneer]

Hey Esther,

Put on a happy face . Reassign me chapters 2 & 3. The Wolfe chapters were interesting and good practice for me.
