I suppose I could listen to some more tests and write it down? But is it stored anywhere? thanks

Thanks TriciaG.
I am going to make my test recording this weekend.
I have looked at the forum for a suitable chapter in a group to do - but I can't decide.
How did you choose your first chapter?
thanks

My very first chapter was a short section in "The Lincoln Story Book". I think it was less than 2 minutes long. I did one, then after getting a PL OK on it, I did a few more. Then I moved on to projects with longer sections.
So if you want to do the same, I suggest (after getting the OK on the test) heading over to Readers Wanted: Short Works and looking for something that interests you that is maybe 1000 words or less. That will be about 6-7 minutes of finished recording. That will get your feet wet. Then branch out into longer stuff in any of the Readers Wanted forums that catches your eye!

Thanks TriciaG
that's very helpful, the forum is brilliantly in-depth but totally overwhelming at the same time

I hear ya. Once you get over the initial overwhelmingness (a new word I just coined), it'll be easier and eventually become second nature.
