Add your voice to free audiobooks
LibriVox is an open source audio-literary attempt to harness the power of the many to record and disseminate, in podcast form, books from the public domain. It works like this: a book is chosen, then *you*, the volunteers, read and record one or more chapters. We liberate the audio files through this webblog/podcast every week (day ?). LibriVox is a VOLUNTEER project: if you have problems with the quality of a recording, get busy and make another one; If you wish to listen, please enjoy; if you wish to record, please contact librivox. Check out LibriVox if you're looking for a good source of free audiobooks. If you think you have a great voice for the spoken word, sign up as a volunteer! [via Make] |

I think this project could work. Of course there should be some kind of standard regarding voice and recording quality, but given how many people listen to podcasts already, I am sure there are also those who would love to become famous by "borrowing" their voice.

I agree -- I think this is a great idea! Some years back I would definitely have done one. Still might do one in the future if I ever get a lull with some extra time on my hands for something like that.
