Hi from North Yorkshire
Hi everyone. I am Adam and have just put together my recording set up. I have had a small amount of experience recording myself, (by that I mean recording some of my son's books and a recording of Poes's 'The Raven'). My favourite genres are horror, sci-fi and fantasy. I look forward to recording some works and being an active member of this community. Thanks for your time.

We have had a bunch of people from the UK join lately, as well as from a dozen other countries in the last few weeks. We are glad to see you all! One of my favorite things about Librivox is working from people all over the world.
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.
You will find plenty of things that will appeal to your interests. The only ghost group project I see right now is The True History of Pepper's Ghost, which is a little bit of a different take on things.
There are both a Short Science Fiction Collection and a Ghost and Horror Short Story Collection running all the time. You can go read about how those work. For collection projects, you select your own contribution, rather than picking from a pre-identified list.
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
