3.13 What it's Like to Narrate an Audiobook

Listen Later

How do you prepare? Does your voice get tired? Do you get nervous? How long does it take? All these questions answered AND MORE in this episode about my experience narrating audiobooks. I hope you enjoy this more casual, chatty, episode. Talk to you next week!

As always, a full transcription of the episode is available to read on my website here

  • Listen to me read There Was Still Love by Favel Parrett
  • Listen to me read Under the Stars by Lisa Harvey-Smith
  • Listen to me read The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen (not an official audiobook, but I did my own little production here on the podcast!)
  • The VOX YouTube video on recording audiobooks

    • The book club pick for this month is Catching Teller Crow by Ambelin Kwaymullina and Ezekiel Kwaymullina. Also published under the title The Things She’s Seen in the USA. I’ll be discussing this next week, on the 27th of September, so make sure to tune in then.
