hello from Pennsylvania

My name is Kim, I’m a "40-something" mom, online American English teacher, and graduate student. I also proofread (volunteer) for Distributed Proofreaders/Project Gutenberg (PGDP), which is how I “accidentally” learned of your beautiful project (a serendipitous find). I understand that LibriVox also needs listeners. I'll browse around and see what's involved -- I'm a bit of a "word nerd" and computer geek, so I am really happy to be here and looking forward to helping this lovely cause.

Thank you so much for your warm welcome, and for the links! Yes, the links are helpful.

"Proof Listener" -- sounds lovely! I just submitted my "Proof Reader" test, so I will take a look at the "Proof Listener" template to learn how that works.

Perhaps we shall work together some day, SaraHale -- thank you so much

Hello -- again

I disappeared for over a year .... just finished my grad program, though (YAY!!).

I just did a recording with Audacity for a literary journal using my PC, so I am awaiting feedback from them on any changes they want done. I was able to do it in one go, but it was a short piece, so a bit easier. I haven't been here in a long time, so I'll have to familiarize myself with things again. I'm happy that my account was still active

anyway, just saying hello ..... and thank you for not deleting me

Kim

Welcome back, Kim.

Congratulations on finishing your grad program.

I hope you'll get a positive feedback on your recording.

If you need any help with getting started, let us know.

Thank you, SaraHale! Yes, I am relieved to be finished (except for student loans, yuck

).

I just posted a "first test" this morning

So whenever/however that goes (maybe a few tests needed?) -- when my work is "up to snuff", then I hope to start with small things, I guess.

You're welcome. I'm so sorry to hear about the loans. I hope you'll finish them in no time.

Awesome! I had a quick listen (please wait for an official OK from another volunteer) and you have a beautiful voice. So, if you ever need a DPL, please let me know. I'll be honored.

SaraHale, thank you!! I just got approved last night (with the advice of using a compressor sometimes also, well-noted), so I definitely appreciate your offer of being a DPL should I need one. I am sure I will!

I will start browsing for projects I think I might be appropriate for.

You're welcome. That's great. I hope that I can work with you very soon.

I hope you'll find something that you'd like.
