Beginning to Narrate

Good evening from South Eastern Pennsylvania. I'm joining the Librivox community because I have always loved audiobooks and am now getting into narration myself. I am looking forward to working on my dramatic voice, technical skills, and e-nun-cia-tion! The work being done here is great, and it is a great thing to be a part of. Thanks very much!

Hello, Daniel!

Welcome to LibriVox! We're so happy to have you.

3 things I share in my welcome message are:
1) Checker Program. It checks all the tech specs of the recording. It will help you get PL ok in your one-minute test.
2) Replay Gain (https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Measuring_Volume_within_Audacity). if you're using Audacity.
3) A wiki with all the Instructional Videos (https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Instructional_Videos) that you might need in the future.

We're a friendly community so feel free to ask questions. Someone is sure to help you.

Hi! I'm writing to offer my own greeting to you and to remind you that should you have any questions about LibriVox, feel free to ask. I'm available quite a lot and you may send me a pm or simply add to the Introductions thread.

I'm relatively new to LibriVox, but have settled in pretty well and am enjoying myself a lot! I like being able to contribute in my own humble way and you might like to do the same.

Anyway, I offer my welcome and my hope that you'll wish to become an active member. And maybe more important than that: you'll always enjoy listening to the great stories, poems, and other chapters that LibriVox offers.

Kevin
