Hi! My name is Xavier Torres (XavierVO27) and I'm really glad to be part of the forum. I am Mexican by nationality but have lived abroad extensively since my wee little years and now reside permanently in San Miguel de Allende (pronounced "ayende" :D ), a beautiful colonial town located in the middle of the country.

A close friend of mine said that I should make the most of my fluency in english (my native language) and spanish, and that one fun and interesting opportunity could be voice over and narration.

But first, he recommended I get a lot of practice before moving on to larger projects. So, I startedresearching and discovered LibriVox while reading a book by Lorelei King called "Storyteller: How to be an Audiobook Narrator".

And that lead me here! :clap:

Looking foward to learning and helping others by volunteering my voice to narrate both in english and spanish. Thanks again for the opportunity!

Hola Jasna! Te soy bien sincero, esta es mi primera experiencia en narrar y hacer proyectos de tipo voice over. Pero ya leyendo y conociendo mas el forum, creo haber hecho lo correcto al unirme aqui!

Te agradezco tu muy amable bienvenida y espero tambien poder ofrecer mi ayuda en algun momento. Saludos!
