"Looking for Warm Voices"... KAMCO Recruiting Voice Talent Donors

Audiobook Season 7 for the Visually Impaired

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] KAMCO (Korea Asset Management Corporation) is recruiting voice talent donors for the audiobook for the visually impaired, "Sounds Heard with the Heart" Season 7, on the KAMCO website for three weeks from the 21st to October 8th.

The "Audiobook for the Visually Impaired" is a social contribution program started in 2014 to share economic and humanities knowledge with the visually impaired through voices. Since 2016, it has been implemented as a public participation social contribution activity in which not only KAMCO employees but also the general public participate as voice talent donors.

For this "Season 7," public participants will be selected at three times the number proportionate to the number of applicants by gender and age through an online automatic lottery, and then the final 50 will be confirmed through an online reading evaluation. Individual notifications are planned for October 23rd. The final 100 selected participants, including 50 general public and 50 KAMCO employees, will receive a special reading lecture from professional voice actors before recording the audiobook in studios in Seoul and Busan for about five months from November to March next year.

This year, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the existing face-to-face special reading lectures will be replaced with online lectures, and studio recordings will be operated by limiting the number of users to one person per day, complying with quarantine guidelines.

Moon Sung-yoo, President of KAMCO, said, "Thanks to the voluntary participation and warm interest of the public, KAMCO Audiobook is celebrating its seventh season this year," and added, "We will continue to fulfill our social responsibility as a financial public enterprise that delivers hope to neighbors in need and practices sharing together with the public."
