Greets,
The name's Gabriel. I am an avaricious reader, but because I tend to spend more time analyzing paragraphs I've lately been taking a fancy to audio recordings (on sermonaudio.com one can find John Bunyan, William Law, Samuel Rutherford, Richard Baxter, Martin Luther, etc) -- this way I can focus on the overall writing. I discovered LibriVox when searching on monergism.com for mp3's of St. Augustine; they had the link to the recording of The City of God.
I would be very interested in contributing to this fantastic method of learning, and one week a month I have the software available to me for doing recordings. I would be interested in doing recordings of writings from Lilian Staveley, Bengt Hoffman, Gerhard Tersteegen, Jacob Boehme, The Confession of St. Patrick, the Theologia Germanica, Prayers by the Lake by Bishop Nikolai of Ochrid, Wolfram von Eschenbach, ABC of gothic architecture by John Henry Parker, The Life of Jesus Christ Meditations for Each Day by Edward Bouverie P., etc!
It's a pleasure to join the LibriVox team. Cheers!

Hi Gabriel,
Welcome to Librivox.
There are numerous ways to volunteer here. An important one is proof-listening, which consists of checking someone's recording for errors. This is where I started and you learn a lot about how the process works and also some of the things you should do and not do while recording. If you'd like to give that a try, you can find lots of information here: Guide for Proof-Listeners
If you wish to try your hand (or voice as the case may be) at recording, you will find that information here: Newbie Guide to Recording.
We urge you to make a "1 Minute Test" for review before you start actively recording. This test is not an audition; it is so we can make sure your settings, etc. are correct before you spend a lot of time recording and editing a section only to find out it does not meet the required technical specs. You will find the information for the 1-Minute Test Recording here: 1-Minute Test. The instructions also tell you how to upload your test and then post in the Listeners Wanted Forum so someone can give you feedback on it.
One of our volunteers, Philchenevert, has created a number of videos that you might find helpful as you learn more about the workings of Librivox. You can find a listing of those here: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/User:Philchenevert
We have a lot of fun here, so welcome aboard! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
Oh, and just so you can't say you weren't warned...this place can become VERY addictive!
