Newbie from NZ - Hi

Hi Guys and Gals,

Just introducing myself,names Chris and I'm here because somebody told me they thought my voice would be perfect for narration. I've always been told I have a pleasant voice (specifically a good phone voice) but never even considered it might be good for narration.

So I'm here to give it a bash and see what feedback I get. Did try going the ACX route but it doesn't seem to be available in New Zealand currently...

Hope to contribute to many projects while I'm here.

Now to find where to start....
