Hey, y'all! I am a stay-at-home mother of a chunky and happy 10-month-old. I enjoy reading and have tried to pass the love of literature to my daughter by reading my books aloud to her. (So far her favorite is Jane Eyre if giggling and clapping are any indications.)

Reading to my daughter gave me the idea to dabble in audiobook narration. Making her laugh with my funny voices has given me incredible joy. I discovered LibriVox while listening to Storyteller: How to be an Audio Book Narrator by Lorelei King and Ali Muirden. King mentioned LibriVox as a great place to volunteer and gain experience.

I look forward to joining this great community!

Hi Arkansas and your gurgling baby. A big Welcome to LibriVox! You will enjoy being creative here as well as having fun. I've made a little video to welcome people; It has some basic info about us that I thought might be helpful to know right at the start. In any case ask lots of questions, we are a helpful bunch here and you will fit right in. https://youtu.be/mwtn_2d3_qs

Welcome, Bea!

I believe these to be the most sure indications)

King mentioned LibriVox as a great place to volunteer and gain experience.

And I modestly agree.

I look forward to joining this great community!

Good luck! Enjoy yourself!
