Hello all,
I am writing from Colorado (USA). I'm a big project gutenberg fan and delighted to learn about LibriVox audible volunteer opportunities. I'm in the process of retiring from a career as a professor, and I'm looking for something worthwhile to do with my free time. This certainly looks worthwhile to me.
I love to read and love to read aloud, so the opportunity to record is appealing to me. But,proof listening looks interesting too.
Am going through all the instructions and advice right now, and I hope to be active soon.
Meg T.

Welcome Meg! I predict great fun in store for you here. As a retiring professor you can continue to teach via audio books. I've made a little video to welcome people; It has some basic info about us that I thought might be helpful to know right at the start. In any case ask lots of questions, we are a helpful bunch here and you will fit right in.

Thanks so much, Phil. I've already seen many of your helpful videos as I make my way through the tech requirements etc. You are a LibriVox star as far as I can see.
Glad Maria is enthusiastic - I am too!

Hi Meg!
As for me, you have a very youthful voice for a retiring person. And in any case - very pleasant one!
And even if everything does not always work out the first time, you are great and you move correctly and consistently. Well done!
God health & good luck!

Hello again, dear professor!
Yeah, this online project has plenty of good things.
Being learning English, I myself kill two birds with one stone, proof-listening here.
So, let`s have fun!

I am a newbie here and wanted to contribute to the Librivox endeavor. I live in CA and work for a tech company. I would like to contribute by doing some test recording and moving on to chapter readings. I love to read aloud and want to get familiarized with the tools of the trade. Any help appreciated.
