Re: ZOOM Discussion Thread

I love the spirit of this idea. Sometimes I find myself captivated by a conversation that occurred while a book was being recorded, between the narrator and PL. I enjoy when this kind of conversation occurs between my PL and me. Sometimes we have personal connections with what we narrate, or amusing...

Re: [Not entirely LV] Archive view counts

... an accurate view count would help you figure out what might be (more) worth a listen... a positive reception is one of the few "salaries" from this volunteer work, and a motivation to keep doing it. Or you can use it to know what people would like to hear more of, as I try to do. Yes,...

Re: LibriVox and Wikipedia Links (Discussion, History, Policy, General questions)

Next on my agenda is to lay out the steps and encourage the creation of book and author Wikipedia pages if they don't yet exist. Stay tuned. :D I tackled this challenge for creating one author page and overcame many obstacles with success. I'll be glad to share my experience. I can summarize my exp...

Re: [FULL] The Thrill Book Vol. I. No. 1, March 1,1919- ans

When I committed to my sections, apparently I was over-ambitious. I enjoyed practicing them, but haven't had the strength to record them.

I trust that someone else will enjoy submitting these 2 sections in a more timely manner so this book can be cataloged. I'll see you around another time.

Re: Contacting Libraries to Add Librivox to their website

I love the enthusiasm about publicizing LibriVox through libraries. After all, they share our mission of making books available to everyone. I understand that library funding often depends on the number of books borrowed. I wonder if they might consider us to be competition, if their members obtain ...

Re: Studying audiobook narration in college

I don't know that a coach would be much use to me: most coaches are American and my way of narrating is very different from how American people narrate. American narration is a lot flatter. Whereas the way that I phrase and emote narration is very different. What I wish that I could find a coach fo...

The new (almost one year old) Professional Audiobook Narrators Association is hoping to implement accreditations for narrators. This doesn't exist yet for narrators, or the coaches or instructors.
