My name is Beth and as an oldie but goodie I am very pleased to have just enough tech knowledge to be able to, hopefully, contribute to Librivox. The concept and mission is purposeful and worth while and that is a special thing to be part of. Looking forward to being here and moving forward.

Believe me, a LOT of us are oldies but goodies! Many of us have found Librivox to be a fun and rewarding hobby in retirement. It gives that intellectual stimulation and interaction (online) in a friendly environment.
If you haven’t yet seen it, take a look at the Newbie Guide to Recording. It will orient you to the whole process.
Then, to get started, do your 1-Minute Test. It's not an audition - just a chance to make sure that all the technical settings you're using when recording match Librivox requirements.
After you're OK'd on that, browse the forums for a project you'd like to participate in. Most people start with a chapter in a book or some other short work. Post a claim for a section in the corresponding thread when you see something you'd like to record.
Any time you have a question, post in one of the forums, and someone will pop in to help you out.
Have fun!
Waiting for a clever signature line to occur to me.
Cheers, VERLA
