Record an audio book! (Rijswijk)

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

You will record a book in a professional recording studio, so that someone who is blind, partially sighted or dyslexic can listen to 'your' book. In Rijswijk we have sixteen recording studios in which we read novels, thrillers, literature and textbooks. If you enjoy reading books and would like to become one of our reading heroes, read on.

WHERE AND WHEN DO YOU GET STARTED?

You can read aloud every Saturday between 10.15 am and 5.15 pm in the studios in Rijswijk. We plan the days and times you want to read aloud together.

WHAT DO WE ASK FOR?

The book you have spoken will be available in the collection in the coming years to be listened to by people who are blind or visually impaired. We therefore expect something from you and your voice.

• You are between 17 and 30 years old.
• You can read well and clearly.
• You enjoy working with language and acting with your voice.
• Your voice must be able to speak for two hours at a time.
• You are willing to come to read on Saturday two hours a week.
• You are willing to complete at least one book completely or spend 50 hours.

WHAT DO YOU GET IN RETURN?

• You will receive training on how to use your voice.
• You learn to operate the buttons in the studio.
• You gain new knowledge and work experience.
• You get to know other volunteers.
• You will receive a recognized certificate on request.
• You will be fully reimbursed for your travel costs.
• And you help someone with a visual or other reading disability.
