Hello Everyone,

I am new here and a bit nervous to start. I want to read French poetry and maybe short texts. I am in the process of getting a microphone and hopefully I will be all set up for next week end.
Cheers

Hello, Valendra. Welcome to LibriVox. I was nervous when I first started. But don't be. It will feel like home in no time.

To get started you need to install both Audacity and Checker. The second step is to record and then upload your one-minute test. Please check the following links:
