If I find a project I want to help read, who has to approve it before I can start recording? And how will they give me the ok to start? Adding to the first question, where, how, and who do I ask?
Thanks- Iona
What happens next?

Welcome.
You would have an email that gets you started, if it isn't available just click on the Guides for Listeners and Volunteers in our wiki - linked in the heading,
Briefly - you need to record the "1 minute test" and upload it and post in the "post your 1 minute test forum and someone will check it and help you fix anything technical that would stop us using your recordings.

I notice you are keen on dramatic readings - they do require some experience before you can start one - they are tricky and tend to take a long time so it's a big commitment of time and patience.
But you will be able to join any open ones, once they know your files will be technically compatible.

Yes indeed! Lots of ways to help out, learn how things work (and how much work they are), to get you some experience.
Anything you want to do yourself, I say: be a helper for someone who's doing it. Best way to learn. We have plays and DRs that need bit parts read (usually I link to one or two of those in my signature), we have others that need help catching up on reader submissions, making sure all the lines are correct before they go to edit, and there are even a few that need help editing.
We also have our One-Act Play and DR Scene & Story collections, where you could have a go at running your own shorter project before you're ready for a whole book. It's still a lot of work, and you'll see whether being responsible for the completion of such a project is "for you".

On the go this weekend! Will catch Monday if I'm not able to do things on mobile.
