Audiobook Editor - Volunteer Position
Indiana Voices, a program that produces audiobooks for blind and visually / physically impaired citizens, is looking to fill its new volunteer position of audiobook editor. This position requires that the volunteer work out of the studio located at the Indiana State Library in Indianapolis. This volunteer opportunity will play an important role in speeding up the production of titles to our patrons.
The audiobook editor reviews audio files for errors that have occurred during the recording process and makes needed corrections to these files so that the finished titles can moved along to a final review and to their ultimate completion as a finished audiobook. To serve as an effective audiobook editor individuals need to learn the software needed for editing, and have an ability to multitask, strong reading / listening skills and be detail oriented. Training will be provided for volunteers to assure the candidate with a strong comfort level in the operation of the editing software.
The hours for this position are fairly flexible with volunteers needing to be able to work for two hours blocks of time on a weekly basis. Shifts are available Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 3:30 pm. Due to the amount of training needed for success at this task a commitment of at least three months is expected.
