A number of volunteer opportunities are available, and vary by studio location.
Basic or advanced computer skills are helpful, however, we can train you to use our fairly simple systems.
Directing: Directors monitor volunteer readers for accuracy and ensure high quality recordings. It includes following along with readers while the material is being recorded and stopping them when mistakes are made. All volunteers are trained to direct and to read.
Editing: Editors review the work of our Readers and Directors to ensure that our listeners receive high quality materials.
Reading: You must enjoy reading and feel comfortable reading aloud. Readers are assigned directors who follow along while the material is being recorded to ensure absolute accuracy. All volunteers are trained to direct and to read. It generally takes several months to become a full-time reader.
Specialty Reading: We especially have a need for readers with either a degree and professional experience or enough aggregate life experience to read upper-level text books in mathematics, science, medicine and law.
