Hello, Gwyn here.
I'm a complete book geek, and I recently found this site when searching for Oscar Wilde.... Though I'm still a teenager, I hope to be able to help out with some readings, and contribute to this wonderful project in any way I can.
About me: I'm an American, currently studying art at a local university. I have many younger siblings that I have always read to sleep, and I can do a magnificent Smeagol/Gollum voice impression, as well as a passable faux British accent. XD I love music, Jane Austen, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Roald Dahl.
Other than that I'm mostly boring.
Can't wait to join the project!
Salutations!

Hehe, hardly sounds boring, luv. Just go on ahead and jump right in! I'll be cliched and recommend starting with a short story or poem. Sounds boring comparatively, but it's how I began myself, and it really is the best way to work yourself in.
That being said, I seriously want to hear you read something in a Gollum voice.
Maybe one of the Federalist Papers.
But that's just my two cents' worth of horrible advice.

In my experience, nothing ruins a party like someone suddenly speaking Latin in reverse.

Welcome Gwyn. You are by no means the youngest here. We have a 10 yr old who contributes. And many other teens. Looking forward to hearing you.

Hi Gwen, and welcome!
It's definitely a good idea to start with something short (Weekly Poetry is often a good place to go) - this gives you the chance to get familiar with your recording setup, and us the chance to determine straight off if there's anything wonky with your recordings - e.g. input volume is frequently on the low side. Check out the wiki (linked at the top of this page), esp. the Newbie Guide to Recording.
Looking forward to hearing both your natural voice... and your Gollum voice.
