I nearly had an accident when I read that audiobooks could be produced by proofreaders reading the text aloud. I am not a great fan of audiobooks, but I thought they usually paid some well-known actor to read them. The skills needed for proofreading aren't necessarily going to be those required for reading a book aloud in an interesting. And if you are concentrating on proofreading, aren't there going to be glitches?
