BEFORE VOLUNTEERING:
It is important to remember that:
(1) You should always stress the second-to-last (penultimate) syllable. So never say ES-per-an-to or es-per-an-TO: say es-per-AN-to.
(2) Every letter has only one sound. There are no silent letters.
(3) If you're English, try to sound the letter "r" (preferably rolled). It's not silent in Esperanto.
(4) If you know any Spanish, Italian or Latin, that would help. Try to pronounce the vowels like that. Alternatively, if you know how to put on a fake Italian or Spanish accent, try to use that.
The following websites also explain how to pronounce Esperanto:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto_pronunciation#Orthography_and_pronunciation

http://web.mac.com/teisenmann/iWeb/Esperantanaso/1st.html

The following websites will be useful in learning Esperanto or to improve your Esperanto skills when recording:

http://www.cursodeesperanto.com.br/bazo/index.php?en (this is a downloadable course)
http://www.esperanto.net/ (this has resources about Esperanto in many languages)
