Hi everyone! Finally made it to introduce myself.
My name is MJ and am happy to join this wonderful group.
I am based in Canada and am currently using my voice for online teaching. I recently decided to branch out into narrating. Of course, I do understand that teaching and narrating are different things. But am willing to learn lots and make new friends as well.
I like the idea of volunteering as this is really a great way to give back. It speaks very much to the Canadian in me.
Anyway, I am off to do my 1-minute test shortly. Hope to see you all around.
A Mighty Good Day

I'm a retired engineer living in Cambridge UK. I love Canada - my brother lives in Vancouver BC, and I've also visited Montreal a couple of times. I love the Canadian's laid-back attitude to most things, including road traffic laws.
I love librivox because participating has caused me to read works that I wouldn't normally touch (e.g. poetry).
And I've enjoyed playing character parts in dramatic readings.
Once you've passed your 1-minute test (https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=1-Minute_Test), jump into the forums and have fun!
This is a great group to be part of for many, many reasons.
Regards & see you around!

Welcome, MJ! You must have more stamina than I for your voice to hold up for all that talking.
I can vouch that you will learn a lot, and probably will find that you will start seeing the same people across the projects you are interested in because they share some of the same interests!
Also I see you passed your one minute test, congrats! I look forward to hearing some of your recordings soon.

Hi MJ and welcome to Librivox
Did you know there is a Beginners LibriVox Zoom Session MONDAY, MARCH 7, 11 AM AND 11 PM CENTRAL TIME ??
Yep! It is totally optional of course, just something we thought some of you might find fun to do. Drop in, say hi to either or both sessions if even for a minute.

Our 'topic' (ha) will be STUFF I WANT TO RECORD or ask anything you want about proof listening or whatever, we love all questions! Don't promise great answers but we will try.
