Hello,
my name is Lena and I am from Germany. I plan to read mainly german books but hope to try some short passages in english, too.
Further, I wanted to ask if it is planned to translate the newbie instructions? I'd give it a try for the german version!

So, feel free to ask any questions :)

Welcome to LibriVox Lena :D

The place to start is the Newbie Guide to Recording, which tells you how to set up your computer to record. Of course, you may want to start out with Proof Listening. This will give you a better idea of how things get done here.

Once you've done that, I strongly recommend doing a short test recording in the Listeners & Editors Wanted section of the forums. This is NOT an audition, but a way to check to make sure all your technical settings are correct, your volume loud enough, etc.

Some neat video guides are available here: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/User:Philchenevert

Have fun here.

Esther :)

Thank you very much Esther!
I already tried a 1-minute-test, but now I will check our your links! :)
