Description:
ABLE is seeking to add diversity to the voices of our volunteer readers–for example, we would like to have younger-sounding voices to read children’s books. Share your vocal talent with those who are blind, visually impaired or print disabled! We’re looking for dedicated volunteers to record a variety of texts (for example, instruction manuals, magazines, and fiction or non-fiction books) at our professional recording studio. Qualified individuals will possess excellent oratory skills, strong reading comprehension abilities, and the commitment it takes to complete projects in a timely manner.
This is a pool position, meaning volunteering is on a project-by-project basis. Narrators will be given assignments according to how well their voice is suited to a particular project.
Requirements:
• Adult (18 + Years)
• Strong reading comprehension and language skills are necessary
• Must be able to sit and read aloud for 80 minutes at a time in our downtown Milwaukee studios
• Must possess a positive attitude and the patience it takes to record an audiobook
Time Commitment: 2 to 4 hours/week (this includes preparation time)
Training: Training will be provided at our studios at the Central Library Building in downtown Milwaukee.
Location: At our office in the Central Library Building in downtown Milwaukee.
