Volunteer Reader

Cue & Review Recording Service
VO100691

We provide a “Talking Newspaper” service, making recordings of articles from newspapers including The Herald Scotland, Glasgow Times and The National five days a week and for visually and reading impaired people across the country to listen to online through our website www.cueandreview.com, internet radio or Amazon Alexa enabled devices. We also create weekly podcasts of articles from the newspapers we cover which are available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more.
We interact with local visually and reading impairment advocacy and support groups too, to get feedback on our service and help our listeners with any technical problems they have relating to accessing the “Talking Newspaper” service.

Experience required

Confidence and ability to read out loud fluently.

Travel details

Most of our volunteers record from a quiet space in their own homes either using their computer, microphone and Audacity software (which is free to download and use) or a free App on their Google or iOS smartphone.
Our offices are in Bishopbriggs, Glasgow with on-site parking. They are also five minute walk from Bishopbriggs train station. Bishopbriggs is served by several bus routes too.

Training details

Before you start you will be given access to the Training Zone on our website www.cueandreview.com You will also have support from our Studio Co-Ordinator, Iain, who can guide you through the recording process through email and MS Teams video calling until you get the hang of it.
Initially you will be sending your articles to Iain to upload for our listeners to access. However, with further training and as you gain in experience, we would hope you will be uploading them yourself.
