Welcome to Librivox Mirlie! Great to have you with us! There are lots of ways to help out here, including proof-listening, making cd covers, converting files into iTunes-ready audiobooks (m4b's), etc.
If you'd like to try Proof-Listening, here's a link to the
Guide for Proof-Listeners:
Guide for Proof-Listeners This is a great way to start out!
As far as recording goes, the files we make do have to be in a certain format: mp3, mono, 44,100Hz, 16-bit, 128kbps and usually louder than most people think! Here's the
Newbie Guide to Recording:
Newbie Guide to Recording.
And we respectfully urge a
1 Minute Test, to help you get things all set up! Here's a link to the
1-Minute Test Recording:
1-Minute Test that explains how to do all that. You would upload your test and then post the link to the test as a new thread in the Listeners Wanted Forum. Instructions are in the link, including where to upload the link, the username and the password to use, etc. This test is not for any kind of audition purposes, just to make sure that it fits our format technically and that your levels are okay.
One of our volunteers, Philchenevert, has created several great videos that you might find helpful in learning more about Librivox. Here's a list of them:

People here are very helpful and friendly, so don't be afraid to ask any questions you have along the way. You can just ask away in this same thread if you have any trouble.
Have fun!
