Hello there from Hamburg

[laubfrosch]

There. I finally managed to register.
I love reading and am especially fond of poems and them being recited. I enjoy reading to other people, but have to admit that my current audience consists mainly of my two children. As a german native speaker, I am going to volunteer for german projects preferably. Of course I am looking forward to try myself as a reader, but I think of prooflistening as well (and, well, just look around, get accustomed, and see what kind of help I can offer).

Greetings
Laubfrosch

Hello, Laubfrosch. Welcome to Librivox. I am a little familiar with the duties of the Proof-Listener. But I haven't tried it myself yet. So, I looked it up. Here's a Guide for Proof-listeners.

If you decided to become a reader as well (I hope you will), here are other links to help get started.

The first thing you should start with is to install Audacity and Checker. The second step is to record and then upload your one-minute test. Please check the following links:
