Greetings!

I'm delighted to be part of LibriVox. I'm a retired ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher, and I've always been told that I have a pleasant sounding voice. I can't wait to try out my new microphone on the one minute Test!

Cheers!

Hello, Anita, and welcome to Librivox! :D

You'll find that your skills as a language teacher are a bonus in your recording work.

It has been quite a nice surprise to find a fellow teacher - I 'm a retired EFL teacher and teacher trainer, and new here, too. (I do proof listening)

Have a great experience here. This place is good fun! :9:

See you around,

Jasna

Hi Jasna,

It's nice to see another retired EFL teacher. I've "passed" the one minute test and am starting to search through the forums to see what I can record. I'd like to start with something short. Do you have any recommendations?

Cheers!
Anita

Hello, Anita. :D

In the Readers Wanted:Short Works there are several projects still open. (It's recommended to start by claiming chapters or sections at the beginning, before embarking on a solo project.)

I'm sure you'll find something to your liking.

Happy recording! :clap:

Hi Jasna,

Thanks for the advice. I signed up for The Adventures of Mr. Toad.
I noticed you're from Ireland. I visited there about 20 years ago, and I understand why it's called the Emerald Isle. Beautiful country!

Hello, Anita.

That's very good news! I'm sure you'll have lots of fun. I should have warned you Librivox is addictive! :lol:

I'm Chilean and live in Ireland with my American-Irish husband, two dogs (Maggie and Tigger) and two cats (Willy and Charlemagne aka Charlie). This land reminds me so much of the South of Chile.

See you around and enjoy! :clap:
