Authors, let me help you bring your narration to life!
Many nonfiction authors want to narrate their own audiobooks, eager to bring theirvoice to the book they’ve labored over for so long and speak directly to their fans. Yet, writing a book and narrating it are two distinct and challenging skills. Many writersdon’t realize this until they find themselves staring at the microphone.
Then, sitting in that small sound booth, working for hours with an engineer and producer, under the gun to finish the project on time, and feeling the pressure of creating an engaging and entertaining recording, the writer realizes that they may have bitten off more than they can chew.
Authors then realize if they had worked with someone to prepare them for this experience, they would feel much more confident about handling the demands of audiobook narration.
That’s where I come in.
