Bravo, Terry, for encouraging this! I volunteered for years for Minnesota State Services for the Blind. It was not only gratifying, but a great way to get experience in cold reading, or narrating in a different style than you normally do. I really recommend it as well.
Another way to volunteer your voice is at community radio stations like Jazz 88 and KFAI.
Terry, thanks for the heads-up on this. Volunteering or “giving back” is something that always bears repeating.
I recently volunteered doing a little bit of voice acting for an audio-dramatization of part of the book of Hosea in the Bible. It wasn’t much, but it (as well as your Readings For The Blind video) reminded me that my local community has a similar program for our blind citizens. I need to get in touch with them and offer to help out.
Terry,
I would agree with you 100 percent about vounteering your voice. At the moment,I am reading children’s stories to Primary schools Children really appreciate when the reader can make the animals in the book come to life like the lion and tiger and the different characters that are being portrayed during the sessions. At our radio station, you can find me vounteering to read Bible stories on a regular basis, These have helped tremendously in making me a better Voice Over, however would like to do more vounteering of my voice in the new year like reading to the blind too which I would imagine takes more animation.
Hi
I am working on videos for a non-profit org and in need of voice over artist. If you can volunteer please let me know. Right now I need some 2-3 liners but eventually we need more like narration and we can also consider paying if we like working with you.

Hi Terry,
I am a Spanish VO Talent. Are any area that I can help? Thank you!
Great information, Terry! However, I tried accessing the Readings for the Blind page and apparently it no longer exists.
Would you have suggestions of other good sites to volunteer with?
Readings for the blind has been dissolved as a corporation.
