You sound great and pass! You're all set!
Woot! I'm psyched to get started.

Before you get started, I'll need to enter you into the system. What would you like for your display name? This can be your real name or nearly anything else.
What is the difference between the display name and the moniker? And where does each show up?
And for the disclaimer when we can (I assume it's optional) say that it's read by [my name], do people use their real names (first only, first and last, some combination) or their display name?
And can we add character to the reading? Or is it supposed to be a "plain" reading of the text?
The display name is what is shown to the world when the project is completed and cataloged. The moniker is used in the forum only,
For the disclaimer, the display name would be used, I'm assuming. That would be less confusing for a listener.
And one is encouraged to add whatever character he or she wishes to the readings. We see this mostly in children's stories, but some folks are remarkably good at doing various voices for different characters in a piece. Some of us are not so successful. I did a short piece once and all my friends who listened asked, "Are you trying to talk like a Southerner?"
