AUDIO submission competition (until June 30) - $2000 upvote grand prize for recording 3 sentences of your voice speaking
The prize winner will be judged as having a combination of the highest quality recording meaning no background noise or music (75%), and a good voice (25%). Don't worry about your accent, just say it with style.
Pro tip: Make consecutively louder recordings (raise your microphone gain each time) until you hear digital distortion (will sound scratchy and bad) when speaking or an annoying audible background noise. Then lower your gain so that you have maximized your "headroom" without clipping the digital signal.
Your main goal here is to MAXIMIZE the audio signal to background noise ratio without clipping the signal
Bonus upvote rewards will be given for those who help others in this process, and for submissions in different languages. You can check out the original post for translations that you can dictate into your microphone:
https://steemit.com/steemjet/@dimimp/steemjet-captain-contest
Each contest entry must have a VOICE RECORDING saying:
"Welcome aboard steemjet. This is your captain speaking. Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for takeoff. STEEMJET - on the wings of superstars, we are words and steem"
And that's it. You are entered in the competition with the grand prize of $2000
OK, we really need to concentrate on this audio competition because our graphic design department is completely staffed and we have no need for new graphic artists.
We DO, however, need a steemjet captain, and a NARRATOR for our audiobook "Olivia and the Superstar" (contest to be announced soon)
I am listing all sumbitted entries for the steemjet captain competition. If your link does not play, then it might have been removed. I hear that D-Tube works for steemit. I will be upvoting anyone who can help others learn how to post audio or video content.
If your submission is not included here, then please let me know.
This contest will last until June 30, and the winner receives $2000 in upvotes

@omowumi has made many versions but I can't get the links to work. It is a shame that I have not had time to even listen to most of these submissions because the 3 art contests kicked off soon after we posted this contest and of course the kids book detour. Now our major focus is back on this audio competition, and I want to catalogue the entries. This is somewhat new to me technically, but I will keep you posted on the progress, and know that this audio competition will always be posted prominently until it completes.

respect to mbj:
Many links don't work because maybe they were free posting links? It has been over a month since uploading and maybe the host site took them down. I am sorry I was not able to get the link to work, but I will be focusing more on audio going forward. And tips are appreciated.
I am seeking to download audio files in highest quality audio format, and need to learn how to do this next (audio ripper download apps etc). I will keep you posted on my progress, again, any assistance is appreciated.
Once I have the files downloaded, then I can compare the signal to noise ratios digitally to help qualtify the leader board. I know how to do this already, it is the downloading in top audio quality format that I will need to learn now.
If i did not comment on your entry it is becasue I could not get the link to work. I am dim, so most likely the problem is on my end.
this is amazing, so many languages in one place. This is one of the best ways of reach a lot of people, just say it with their native language. good job @dimimp and to all my friends in this community that are in this with me.
89/211
i just made it 90/210
Yeah, except that my voice scares me lol.. Just kidding though.
It's a nice way to promote unity.
Thanks @dimimp
Voice Note Loading.
@deandaniel same here man!
Hello boss..
Here's my entry...
Please listen on D-sound..
https://steemit.com/dsound/@deandaniel/20180426t093114339z-steemjet-audio-contest-for-captain
Helo sir, this is my link to the contest. Hope you would like it.
https://steemit.com/steemjet/@cherylsonty/my-entry-for-the-audio-captain-contest-by-dimimp
It's lovely dear
I wish to withdraw my entry, I'll post a new one with a better noise cancellation so the background will be clear.
Now, I noticed that most of the file were missing or could not play. So this is a step by step guide on into make your audio and submit it here in the best format.
Using Soundcloud
Get the soundcloud app from your play store for best experience. You can also use the web version but the app is way cooler.
Open an account, verify your email, then click your profile to add a recording.
Make your recording and save it with the right name you want to use.
Note this is where it gets tricky. Please use a laptop for this or pc for this not your phone. Only use an embed code to give you the best result.
To get an embed code for your track, click the 'Share' button below the waveform and an overlay will appear. Click on the embed tab to view what options you have to embed your player.
Copy-paste the embed code from 'Code & preview'. Next, copy the code and paste it into the comment editor section of this post. Good luck.
If you still have issue, contact me on discord or telegram with your link and I'll get you the embed code especially for those who do not have a laptop.
@dimimp about downloading the files, you might consider checking https://savefrom.net
For those who are not able to upload their entry correctly, look for my other comments on this post for help on how to upload an embed code or contact me on discord/telegram for more if you still have issues after that.
Here is my entry in Ibibio, my mother tongue.
I do request for a permission
To edit this comment later and submit the link to my own upload.
I don't want to give out a double comment to avoid congestion.
Thank you
