Fun fact, turns out I have some pretty significant dyslexia! If you aren't familiar with dyslexia, effectively it means my brain has trouble processing letters, which makes reading hard!
I got tested recently and scored something like a 35/50, putting me in the "severe" range. After getting the test I told the doctor that I narrate audiobooks and they gaped at me, I guess people who have a visual impairment don't normally take on work that is 100% reading based haha.
Normally dyslexia would be caught at a young age, but I never got tested because despite reading slow I always did really well in school. I read about as fast out loud as I do in my head, and frequently will have to re-read things a few times to retain it. It's very frustrating, and as a result I don't read books very frequently these days.
This shows up in the audiobook as the occasional messed up word or wrong name, however behind the scenes in this chapter alone I edited out around 220 flubbed lines. It really adds up!
On the bright side, I've been prescribed some specialty glasses to help with dyslexia, when I get those in a few weeks I may find reading easier than it's ever been, wouldn't that be novel!
I'm also currently working a temp job that is taking up most my time. I have mandatory overtime pretty much every weekend, so finding time to record has been a challenge. I should be done with this job some time next month though, so soon I'll have proper audiobook time again (I hope).
I'm also not convinced anyone reads these descriptions, if you actually read this far leave a comment calling me four eyes or making fun of the narrator that can't even read or something, I'd get a kick out of that.
