Today’s episode features a very special interview with Andrew’s colleague Suzanne. Tune in to hear all about Suzanne’s fascinating life and stories. She tells us about what it’s like to be an American and describes some of the differences between life in Canada and the USA. Suzanne also talks with Andrew about her work as a voice actor and tells us about how audio books are produced.

Suzanne:

And because also I edit a lot of the books on tape that I’m doing, I get to mess around with the timing so that if I recorded it, maybe not the best way, it wasn’t as funny, I can maybe shorten the distance between the lines and make it funnier, so…

Andrew:

So you wear a lot of hats in the process.

Suzanne:

Yes.

Andrew:

You do the editing. You do the reading. You do the acting. The whole kit and caboodle.

Suzanne:

It’s a lot of work!

Andrew:

No, I bet. That sounds like a really big job.
