….and no that doesn’t mean I’m a big fan of that Irish Rock Star….
This is about volunteering your voice acting services just because it’s the right thing to do…and doing it, is its own reward.
See the appeal Voice Talent/Coach Marc Cashman makes below for volunteers to read for AIRS/LA. I’ve been contributing narrations of Reader’s Digest articles to AIRS/LA for a couple of years, and it’s very fulfulling.
Hi!
I wanted to acquaint you with a great non-profit organization in Los Angeles, Airs/L.A.
www.airsla.org is the website of a California non-profit corporation organized in 2006.
Their purpose is to provide information and entertainment for the blind, low-vision, and dyslexic.
All of their work is provided by volunteers–they have no paid employees.
Some of their voiceover talent is professional, but there are a lot of enthusiastic and talented beginners who are narrating material in three countries and twelve states.
Their podcasts cover a wide range of subject matter:
health and medical information, seminars, periodicals, interviews, and more.
They have a number of new programs which they’d like to offer their listeners.
Most of these are periodicals of varying publication frequency.
AIRS/L.A. needs qualified people to narrate and produce these programs.
Voice talent must have access to recording facilities (preferably a home studio)
to produce a quality podcast.
Talent has to be available to meet the project schedule (i.e., biweekly, quarterly. etc.).
And if a periodical is needed, they must acquire the material to read.
They prefer their podcasts to be 30-minutes or less and provide scripts for the intro and closing.
With periodicals, the producer/reader selects the material, transmits the edited program to AIRS/L.A.’s engineers, and provides a brief summary for the website.
AIRS/L.A. has a studio that may available for people living in San Fernando Valley, CA or nearby.
But if you have a decent-sounding home studio setup and would like to contribute to a very worthwhile cause, this is a great opportunity to donate your talent for those less fortunate,
no matter where you live.
If you’d like to participate, or know of any associates, students, or other professionals who might, please contact Max Flehinger at max.flehinger@gmail,com or call him at 818-356-8371.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Marc Cashman

Dave,
I am a new follower of yours and am finding some great information but I especially liked being informed of AIRS/LA. I am involved in a reading program, locally, where I periodically go to the Juvenile Home at the end of the day and read stories, over the PA system, to the kids to help them wind down for the night. AIRS/LA sounds like another opportunity for me to be involved.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Kim
Kim,
The AIRS/LA people are the nicest, and very appreciative. They even hold a little appreciation party for their volunteers every year. And….it’s great practice!
Thanks for visiting.
Warm Regards,
Dave Courvoisier
