Hello everyone!

[chapter11]

I have always loved reading aloud, and I've been meaning to read for LibriVox for several years. I've gotten through a few classics thanks to the kind folks at LibriVox. Time to give back!

My day job involves a lot of silent hours that without cats and my husband would feel monastic, so volunteering as a reader is a good fit for me, I think! It's verbal but still well-suited for an introvert When I worked as a caregiver many years ago, my favorite hours were always those spent reading to someone. Not long before that time, I was also involved in college theater, and I've missed performing and collaborating with other creative types ever since.

I will post my 1-minute test as soon as my microphone arrives in a few days. Nothing fancy just yet, but I hope it'll work. Lots to learn!

Welcome from another introvert! One of the things I like about volunteering here is that it feels sociable on the site and you can feel like you are making a real contribution to the world without overly draining your own batteries. And since I know my “battery levels” can fluctuate wildly, it’s nice to have something to do without feeling like you are required to leave the house and interact with the world directly!

Welcome Chapter 11. Well said. Totally agree. I love my robe and slippers, no make up, etc. But I gotta figure out how to get some more exercise.
Come read something for my projects (see below).

Thank you for the warm welcome, fellow introvert - that pretty much sums it up! It's funny - I can perform or work behind the scenes, but my social battery levels can fluctuate so wildly that it's difficult to commit to anything that involves talking for more than 5 minutes But I look forward to getting to know you all here in the forums, where I can do what I feel I can't in person--sit and reflect and take a break if needed!

Thank you for the wonderful welcome, Michele - you made me laugh.

I would love to read something for your projects. I am about to post my 1-minute test. This is more challenging but even more fun than I imagined.

edit 1: corrected name!

What great project ideas - I will see if I can find a 15-minute story that interests me. In the meantime, I'll get some practice on a chapter of something I've got my eyes on for practice.
