Hey there.
I just joined. I stole the idea from my friend Randi.
I heard her read Anne of Green Gables, and I'm hooked!
I'm excited, yet scared to get started with my reading.
YAY!!

Welcome to LibriVox, Hope Crystal! There are a couple of Anne projects happening at the moment and I hope to hear you in them soon!
But before you get started with a big project, why not get your feet wet with a small one or two? Pop into the Short Stories and Poetry section. You'll find the Weekly Poetry piece. It's about a two-minute piece this week; a lovely poem written by someone I'd been unaware of until I read this poem.
Another option is to nab one of Aesop's Fables - they're even shorter. In fact, most of them are under a minute. Pop on in and get used to the mechanics of reading before unleashing your enthusiasm upon a larger project!
It's great to have you aboard, Hope - it's always nice to hear a fresh voice in the mix!

And then, when you have recorded a very short piece, you could work your way up to a slightly longer one - Pinocchio in Readers Wanted: Books, for example (this is the place where book coordinators come, ostentatiously to greet newbies, but really to lure them into reading sections for their projects... :)).

Yay! Hi hope. Welcome to LV. I kindof like the purple/pink.
I'm going to plug Phantom of the Opera, but the chapters are quite a bit longer, and involve lots of french pronunciations, but if you're from Canada they should be easy!
Good to have you aboard
