New from Central Virginia!
Hi, My name is James Ellett and I am excited to be a part of this community. I live in Forest, Virginia, in the central part of the state. I have listened to quite a number of audiobooks from librivox as I travel for work and it has made the trips so much more enjoyable! I hope that I can pay it forward and have others enjoy listening to a book that I read to them.
Welcome, James!
The best place to start is the wiki guide for Listeners and Volunteers: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Main_Page . This will give you an idea of what you need and the steps to getting started. I recommend poking around the Librivox site for a bit as well as these boards to get a feel for how the whole process works, if you haven't previously been familiar with Librivox or used it as a listener.
You will want to do your 1-minute test to make sure your technical specs are good to go and once that has been okay'd, then a good way to get your feet wet is to do a chapter in a group project, or read a short work or a poem for one of the collections that are always going on in the Readers Wanted: Short Works board.
If you have any questions, just ask. Enjoy!
