Volunteers do not need any prior experience, nor do they need to audition or send LibriVox samples. All that's needed is your voice, some free software, your computer, and maybe an inexpensive microphone. LibriVox records books in all languages.
All LibriVox activity (book selection, project management, discussion, etc.) happens on their Forum, and you’ll need to register there to join and get started. Forum members are a friendly bunch, and questions will be answered quickly (much more quickly than if you send them an email!).
Before registering and posting on the Forum, please read this information: https://librivox.org/pages/volunteer-for-librivox/, to get an idea of how everything works.
Don't forget to Respond to this Need, so you can track your service hours. You will need to send screenshots of your registration and links to your audio files to communityengagement@southalabama.edu in order for us to be able to verify your hours. Please track and submit the actual amount of time spent volunteering.
As an additional reminder, because the process for getting started is outlined above, you won't receive a follow-up e-mail from the hosting agency when you Respond to this Need.
