Cultural Activism Idea: Create Free Audio Recordings of Intelligent Literature

Published by G. Stolyarov II at 7:23 am under Culture Edit This

Here is an excellent idea for contributing to positive cultural change if you have the leisure time to read.

Many of the best works ever written are no longer copyrighted and can thus be distributed by anyone who wishes to. Find a work in the public domain that you have not yet read. Instead of just reading it, you can – in almost as little time – both read it and create a nice free audio version of it to make available to anyone who wishes to download it.

You probably already own a microphone that can be attached to a computer. If you do not own one, they are quite inexpensive to buy. Everything else you will need can be obtained for free.

Audacity is a free, open-source sound recorder and editor that you can download here. You can record yourself reading the book or essay in question and then export the recording to an .mp3 file which you can upload to your own website or to mine. If you have an audio book or essay that you wish to share with the public, you can contact me at gennadystolyarovii@yahoo.com and send me the file. I will be happy to host it for you on The Rational Argumentator.

Sincerely,
Gennady Stolyarov II
