Hi Everyone,
I am so excited to join Librivox cant wait to start my first recording. But i am a bit skeptical about whether my voice will be good enough or not. I hope i can record more and more and keep improving on it.

Good to hear from you, Sally!

Welcome to the community! :)

Good enough for what, exactly? A voice is a voice. If people around you understand what you are saying, your voice must be fine for reading aloud. :thumbs:

Don't worry about anything, just sit down (or stand up) and start saying the text while the computer records you. You will need some time to get used to hearing your own voice (afterwards), and let's hope that that is going to be the hardest part of the learning process. :wink:
