Ta-da! I am a Voice for Librivox

[primsong]

As if I didn't already get myself into too many projects and distractions, now I'm talking to myself! Finally landed a nice headset mic this past week and installed Audacity to see if I could figure out the How To stuff, posted an obscure Amy Lowell poem and am now tackling a fairy tale. This is surprisingly difficult to do well and surprisingly fun. Still dislike the sound of my last name, so I'm using a personal fave alternate for a nom-de-Librivox, Amy Benton.

Librivox, for those vague about it, is a huge project that is using volunteers to record audio of any and everything that is public domain - their focus at this point is anything published pre-1923. Just wish I had one of those nice, deep resonant voices instead of the weenie one I have, ah well - I'll work with what I've got.

I listen to Caitlin read there...OBTOOK...and would love to listen to you too. Post when you do please. And a link would not go amiss.

btw I posted in the RedBook today something a tad racey mayhap, check it out and would you be so kind to UN sticky the Hobbit read through in Middle-Earth.

Thanks busy lady.

Does she really? I'll have to find her catalog page and see what's she's done. I'm just a noob at this point - 2 poems and a fairytale under my belt, but hoping for more when the kids are back in school so the house isn't so noisy.
