Reader

Join hundreds of volunteers to read and record print materials for broadcast and podcast, from the comfort of your own home! Typically a 1-2 hour weekly commitment. Because this is a highly desired position, you might be placed on a short waitlist for an open show.

  • Good reading a speaking skills
  • Basic computer skills for recording audio.
  • A decent audio set-up in a quiet space (8+ GB RAM, good microphone, internet upload speed 10+mbps).
  • Pass a remote reading audition.

What can I expect in the audition?

After you submit an application, check your email inbox for instruction on completing your virtual audition. You will read, record, and submit your audition remotely at your earliest convenience. We will review the audition and be in contact with you about the next steps.

How do you choose what I will read?

Program assignments take into account our programming needs and your availability.

Programming Advisory Committee

For almost 35 years, Aftersight has used audio to serve people living with blindness or low vision. We are seeking individuals from that community (or others with experience) to join Our Program Advisory Committee (PAC).

Formed in 2022, the PAC guides Aftersight’s Audio Editions and Original Podcasts. The PAC also innovates and cultivates new programming. For example, the PAC was instrumental in the creation of Aftersight’s Original Podcasts which are some of the most popular shows.  

As a member of Aftersight’s Program Advisory Committee, you will be expected to attend monthly meetings, to listen to assorted/assigned Aftersight programming, to offer feedback, and to help cultivate ideas. It’s vital that you come prepared and ready to have conversations about what you’ve heard. Total time commitment is expected to be 3-10 hours per month. Almost all of this is active listening which can be done while walking, cleaning, etc. However, meetings (virtual) are at a fixed time, typically the first Wednesday of the month from 6:30 to 7:30pm Mountain Time. 

We know that this all sounds super formal – but we’re EXTREMELY excited to hear from you! Join a team that ensures that Aftersight services are produced in collaboration with the people who will use them. Please, fill out the form below including your contact info. We look forward to chatting – whether virtually or here in our offices. Thank you for the interest!
