María José Salvador

English reader with Spanish accent, since I learnt English in South America and British English is mostly taught in our schools down south, when I read in English not only I have a Spanish accent but a mellow British pronunciation as well.

I started recording for the library for the visually impaired more than twenty years ago. The library became extinct due to all the technological development in the digital world but I privately continued with my training by reading aloud, performing voice exercises, and interpretative readings as a common practice. I am currently developing my skills at a professional level by actively auditioning to record audiobooks and I have already been offered a few recording opportunities, while learning simultaneously to manage the production tools and different aspects of the trade. I am as well an active volunteer, recording public domain material for Librivox. I have set up a small "studio booth" at home. It is properly isolated and insulated, with very low noise floor levels that I can very easily correct. At the present, I am working with the latest version of Audacity to record, edit and produce my samples and auditions.
