Ask for feedback on your technical quality — our most common newbie problems are too-quiet volume and computer hum. After you’re certain that your recording set-up is good (and that you enjoy recording) just choose a chapter of any of our collaborative books in the Readers Wanted area and have fun! :)

I love the actual voice they have recorded saying “beepbeep boop beep be-boop beep boop” while it’s searching for your listing.

The operator she spoke to was a computer, not a human. I’ve used it too, and it works BETTER than the humans you talk to at regular 411.
