Hey there! I wanted to thank Alix Grace for her superb read of M. R. James classic ghost story “Canon Alberic’s Scrap-Book,” which we used as the basis for a sound-designed adaption of that piece in our podcast, Ephemeral.
I just finished listening to "The White Company" by Sir Aruthur Conon Doyle. Your narration was absolutely wonderful! I was impressed both with your range of voices, and with your pronunciation in multiple languages.
Thank you for taking the time to volunteer. I look forward to many more hours spent listening to the books that you recorded.
I've been using their recordings for my watercolours (which I've started putting on Youtube under the channel 'Words inWatercolour') and I'm sure that there will be many more readers that I'll be thanking in the future!
I'm sending this little email off into the universe because I want to sincerely thank Karen Savage for being the voice of my childhood.
When I was a little fourth grader I inherited my father's old iPhone, which opened me up to the beautiful world of Librivox. I started with The Secret Garden and had my eyes opened to the joys of life, I learned patience in adversity and unfailing hope from The Little Princess, and I found the book that has remained my life-long favorite, Pride and Prejudice. In my teenage years The Scarlet Pimpernel and it's sequel ignited my imagination and carried me far away from mental health struggles, Rilla of Ingleside broadened my views of compassion and selflessness (and caused many, many tears to be shed over Walter's letter), and I again listened to Pride and Prejudice so often that I easily memorized the first chapter verbatim (a trick that causes everyone I know a great deal of annoyance)
Through all my personal development, through every up and down thus far in my life, Karen's voice has been there for me, mingled with the voices of so many literary geniuses, and has molded me into the person I am today. I am more observant, more loving, more enthusiastic about life, and more thoughtful because of the gift she gave to the world through the audiobooks she recorded and Librivox published.
So, I want to send a thousand thank yous to her and to the Librivox team. Nothing I ever say could be enough to fully express what you have done for me.
At the end of September I finished listening to your version of Sense and Sensibility. You know we LibriVox fans have plenty of options, within LibriVox offerings as well as through our public libraries or via purchase. I was delighted to find your reading fit my taste and needs very well, and I am once again delighted with LibriVox. Thank you so very much for your time, effort, and care in making this production.
Thank you very much for your reading of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the audiobook and, after taking a break on the book for a while, found a reading on YouTube. I did not care for it and remembered your recording and had to return to it. Looking forward to many more of your readings.
I am a newcomer to librivox and to the Finnish epic the Kalevala. I find that hearing it read brings it to life - sometimes listening while walking, occasionally (when not walking!) following the written text while I listen. I can only begin to imagine the amount of time and commitment, the passion for the text and the desire to share it with others, that goes into reading a book of this length and complexity. I offer my humble thanks to all of you, the whole organization, but especially to Kyle Raub. I feel that he is almost a tour guide leading me into and through the superb beauty of this epic, which even in translation is clearly very great poetry and literature - really I think of a caliber one can compare to the Illiad, the Odyssey, or the Aeneid. I had never heard of it until a friend happened to share a recent review in NYRB. Thank you Kyle Raub and Librivox.
I just finished listening to Lorna Doone. All the readers were excellent, but I was especially struck by the way daisy55 brought the story to life with her expressive reading.
Vielen Dank, liebe Eva K für dieses großartige Geschenk. Hervorragend geschrieben, hervorragend übersetzt und hervorragend gelesen, ganz große Kunst! Ich freue mich schon auf den Untertan!!
Beste Grüße aus der Provence
