Hey there, hero!

So you have an audiobook to narrate. Compared to a lot of other acting jobs, it’s a much bigger job - sometimes exponentially larger.

And it’s such a big event that it causes us to sometimes assign an outsized scope of the undertaking, and misplace what’s important for success.

Yes, you have a lot of tech and process details to deal with.

But you also have to do the acting part.

Creating characters in audiobooks (and that includes the neutral narrator) means giving them the same due as you will with the characters you get to create on camera or on stage or in commercials.

You hear it in the work of the narrators (actors) we all revere.

Have you found yourself worrying more about being technically perfect rather than an awesome actor when doing audiobooks? Let me know in the comments below.
