Hello all, Just thought I'd say Hi. I've been co-opted in by ChrisHughes to help out on a few projects that require a scottish accent, and as a keen listener to Librivox books I was delighted to offer what little help I can. In the main I think I'm wanted as a guide to pronunciation rather than to have my voice used directly. But who knows you might even get to hear my voice on an official Librivox recording one day (unfortunately I'm no Sean Connery...I'm not even a Ewan McGregor!)
So I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who works behind the scenes and in front of a microphone. Your efforts are much appreciated, I've listened to quite a number of books so far and they've all been great, an amazingly high standard considering it's all done for free.
Well done everyone!!

It's really good to have you joining us, Worcesterhibby! Looking forward to hearing you (or your subtle Scottish influence) around the place.
There's honestly no such thing as a stupid question -- but I'm afraid I can't rule out giving a stupid answer : : To Posterity and Beyond!
Welcome. I promise as soon as we're done using you for our projects, we'll give you all the encouragement and help you could ever need to do some of your own.
