New to the reading game - 1 minute test
Posted: November 1st, 2017, 7:12 pm
Hello Everybody
My name is Jacques Gaudreault and I am not new to Librivox in that I have download several files of interest to me over the years. However now I am changing gears, somewhat late in life and I wish to become a voice over artist. I am a 63 year old man who has life experiences to match. I am not shy to speak but like everybody else I find listening to my recorded voice a bit unsettling. In an effort to overcome this and hone my newly required skills I immediately thought of reading for Librivox. This will help me to manipulate Audacity, which is the same program I intend to use in my search for new work plus in the process I will augment Librivox's library to boot. So a win win scenario for all, I think!!!
I am sure that my first few stabs will be interesting but I know I will get better as I work at it. My mother tongue is French Canadian although I have not used it extensively for many years. Like so many skills it gets rusty with neglect. However I hope to make a few stabs at improving that as well.
