Hello Hana san,

Welcome to LibriVox. I hope you enjoy it here.

Do you know Japanese or Korean?
'Hana' means 'flower' in Japanese.
'Hana' means 'one' in Korean.

Your next step is one minute test.

Cheers,
Masa

Hi Hana
Welcome to our communities of book fans

The test Masa san mentioned is described in detail here: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/1-Minute_Test You'll also find there the tech specs which we want all the files to adhere to, as well as the info on how to upload the thing.
Once your test file has been OKed, you can record whatever you want, as long as it can be demonstrated to be in the Public Domain in the US (that is published before 1923).

Have fun

Many thanks to all who posted such warm welcomes! The tips, links and hints are much appreciated. I successfully uploaded my 1 minute test with your help.

And regretfully, Masa - I speak only English. But thank you for the translation of my name. I did not know that.

With warm regards,
Hana
