Good info

A great insight into the world of audiobook narration, from the perspective of a narrator and a producer. The bonus reel at the end had me crying with laughter.

Must listen for new narrators

An excellent guide for anyone planning to become a professional audiobook narrator. Short and to the point but still packed full if tips to help you find your full potential. Insight from both a professional narrator and an audiobook producer.

Although this book is aimed at people wanting to make a living as a narrator, it's also relevant to authors interested in narrating their own books.

An invaluable resource for the podcast era.

The advice in this book from the great Lorelei King and her producer is excellent. It's certainly worth the process for anyone seriously considering joining the exciting and popular world of podcasting. Even established podcasters should listen to the solid advice given.

Lorelei King is an expert in voice acting, narration and vocal performance. Anyone with an interest in spoken word audio will enjoy this and those who are interested as a profession must listen. Master class, without a doubt.
