Hey NABSters,
 
I am writing for a couple of reasons. Starting with Joshua's
suggestion about Learning Ally posting samples of readers'
voices. Perhaps you didn't know we use more than 5,000 volunteers
to read our audiobooks. The readers are assigned books based on
their specificc subject knowledge; e.g. a physicist reads
physics, a native speaker of Spanish reads Spanish language, etc.
The volunteers read for at least two hours a week and many
readers are assigned to a book so that it can be completed and
uploaded for us as quickly as possible.
 
With all of these factors, Learning Ally does offer book samples
on thee website but providing samples of a volunteer group thaa
changes on a regular basis doesn't seem feasible.
 
You may know tha tthe NLS hires paid actors or voicers to read
the majority of those books and that individual readers read
specificgenres of books, such as mysteries, true crime, romance,
etc.
 
I also would like to be ghelpful in any area in which you are
having difficulty with Learning Ally. If watching the YouTube
video doesn't work, wy not call tech support? OOur blind tech
experts are wonderful in explaining processes and answering
questions about how something works. In addition, so that I can
help YOU, please let mek now what specific issues you are having
with the website.
 
You can e-mail me offlist if your question or issue is lengthy so
that this list doesn't get monoopolized.
 
Many thanks,
 
Annemarie Cooke
Learning Ally consultant (and member)
