Summary

We need new readers as long serving volunteers retire. This involves reading prepared articles from the local press that are recorded live and sent to listeners

Detailed description

We are looking for new readers for our service which is recorded every Friday evening. Individual readers are normally required once a month as we gave 4 teams of readers. We have a small studio in Wycombe but are happy to have readers from across southern Bucks who may also have local connections in their communities to spread the word.

We need people with attractive voices, male or female and any age. You must be confident in reading aloud from printed material.

You'll be joining a group of people who are committed to making life better for blind and visually impaired and other print-disables citizens by keeping them in touch with what's going on in their communities. It's a really valuable service which they enjoy greatly.

If you are interested, get in touch and we'll have a chat and follow up with a voice sound test and some training if successful.

About South Bucks Talking News

We are dedicated to bringing local news to those in the southern part of Buckinghamshire who are blind, visually impaired or otherwise unable to read the news through a disability. Our teams record articles every week from the Bucks Free Press Group and other local journals covering southern Buckinghamshire. The recordings are copied onto small USB memory sticks and posted on Saturday in specially designed plastic envelopes to recipients, who can then listen at their convenience at home. The service is entirely free to listeners.
