Volunteering at the Orange County Studio of
Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic

The Orange County Studio of RFB&D welcomes people who would like to join our team in the production of audio books. Our studio works primarily on textbooks from middle school, high school, college and adult levels. We work together on many subject areas including computers, math, the sciences, business, sociology/psychology, theology and geography. Volunteers are trained in all studio tasks.

We work in two-hour shifts and ask volunteers to commit to two hours per week.

• Willingness to follow directions and reading conventions, look up word pronunciations and ask staff for clarification and direction when unsure
• Hearing (or corrected hearing) adequate to communicate with the reader and detect problems on the recording
