That is just awesome! I'm going to give this a shot.

Um, I don't even know how to go about recording an mp3 file or even if this computer can do it. All I've ever seen on it is the cheesy windows wav file recorder with a one minute limit.

i have absolutely no idea about audio files but I would bet it's not that hard to get advice around here.

I have learned a lot about a good reader from corresponding with him and reading his blog. my suggestion is if you are going to do this find a piece that allows you to display a variety of voices and emotional states.

one of his blog entries gives specific advice www.scottbrickpresents.com/wordpress/2009/01/

good luck!!!!!

For some reason, I don't think I have the voice for this. I'd better pass.

this is GREAT! I am passing because for whatever reason I last about 1/2 hour reading and fall asleep. That would make for a very lllloooooooooonnnnnnnnggggg recording session! :biggrin:
