This is the most WONDERFUL website! I found it this winter and it’s made my working day zip by. I work part-time in a museums storage unit here in the Oxfordshire countryside, and spend most of my days wrestling with big heavy boxes full of Anglo-Saxon pottery and sheep
bones and struggling through complex […]

it’s nice that we are starting to get emails like this:

Just wanted to take the time to say, Thank You.
I’ve now finished several good books I’ve always wanted to read, by

Here at LibriVox, we really like a few things:

podcasting

books

librivox volunteers

Well, just in time for christmas (or chanukah, or the holidays) you can support all three. Neal Foley, aka the Podchef, who puts out a great podcast about food, cooking and food politics, and one of the very first LibriVox volunteers has just published a […]

So, Thursday is becoming stats day. We added another 27 volunteers this week (20% growth from last week), so the LibriVox family is now 157 souls. And though we are still a bit short on completed books — we’ve got 10 — we have a whole host of new projects underway, many of them solo.
We’ve […]

If you’re wondering what podcasting is all about, have a look at this: Verbalism: Podcast How To - Screencast.
And if you prefer to read about it, I’ve put up a tutorial on my own site, here: Hugh’s Podcasting 101

OK, here’s an experiment. We’ve posted a poem in the forum (by William Blake), and we’re asking everyone and anyone to record a version of it. We’ll leave the poem open for a week.
This is a good way to cut your teeth if you haven’t recorded anything yet, and want to try. It’s […]

Want to discuss the best way to record your chapters? Wonder about about how to pronounce character names? Are you eager to share a brilliant tip to help us all improve our readings?
Well now you can. We’ve added forums to LibriVox. We hope this will be a useful resource for all LibriVox readers, book curators, […]

As a LibriVox reader, you can tap into your acting talents and give your characters voices. Depending on your book and the character, you may choose to be subtle or outrageous. No matter which, it makes it easier for the listener to distinguish during dialogue.
How do you create a character’s voice? Tone (nasal, smooth, […]

We’ve had some technical problems with Chapter 7 of the Secret Agent. After much toiling and voice modulation a wonderful (and London-accented!) Conrad rendition was produced by Lloyd Davis. Unfortunately, the mp3 files seemed to get corrupted with big patches of Audacity silence. Any Audacity experts out there, please lend a hand if you can.
