Is there a deadline?
We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen. Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
How to claim a part, and 'how it all works' here
To find a role to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs."

Where do I find the text? Source text: PLEASE READ ONLY FROM THE GOOGLE DOCS LINKED IN THE MAGIC WINDOW. If you scroll down past the names of the characters you will see 'link to text' next to each chapter. Right click on that to open in a new window.

Quick question: Do you want Diana's last name pronounced "Bahr-ry" or "Bair-ry"?
Between being a full-time college student and working 20+ hours per week, I'm not able to be involved at LV these days, but I remain a loyal fan and look forward to a triumphant return sometime in the (probably distant) future.

I hope it doesn't sound too stalker-ish to say this - but I'm so happy! You and Arielle as Gilbert and Anne is my "dream team"! I'm pleased to be on board!
(Although in my head you will always be "Laurie" from Little Women, which was the first role I heard you voice. And while I'm on the subject, I *loved* your interpretation of Mr Collins for Pride and Prejudice! Usually he is cast as someone too old - your voice was perfect!)
