Hello from Texas! I'm married to an amazing husband and have a 3 year old daughter. I also work full time, 9-5 Monday thru Friday.
I've dreamed about becoming an Audiobook narrator since listening to audiobooks myself. I remember as a kid prefer to read books I could listen along with via cassette tape and genuinely enjoyed reading class where I could follow along as a teacher or a classmate would read. I stumbled upon LibriVox last year and was amazed to see a community/service like this exists! Life happened of course so I couldn't dive right in but as we approach 2022 I really want to carve out time to do things that I enjoy and I think volunteering for something like this will be quite an experience. It's also a personal goal of mine to expand my vocabulary and incorporate new words into my everyday conversations so what better way than to be forced to read while I do voice work. I look forward to meeting and learning from you all, and maybe make a few friends too!
Well Shawie, you have come to the right place with the right bunch of people. Welcome! 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
