About this listen

Have you ever thought about narrating audiobooks? When Steve retired from acting, he thought that might be an interesting thing to do. Only problem was…he had no idea how to do it. He decided to look into it. With the help of people who knew a lot more about it than he did, he learned how. Starting with a $25 snowball mic, he has now done 127 audiobooks and has a growing queue of future work. It’s been a fun, diverse, interesting time. In this book, he shares that journey as well as much of the info he’s picked up along the way about how to do it. See what the inside of the audiobook world looks like and the steps necessary for you be a part of it.

The second part of the book concentrates primarily on how to navigate ACX, the most popular audiobook production site there is (owned by Amazon). After having worked with them for a number of years, Steve has excellent suggestions and insight into how to use their format to better help the novice or the professional narrator.

It's the perfect place for the new narrator to get his or her feet wet, get some experience under their belts, and get paid for it. As they get better and more accomplished, they can also move up in categories. This book shows you best how to navigate those waters and not make seemingly slight mistakes that could leave your career dead in the water.

It's an easy, effective format to work with if you know what you're doing. Listen to this book...and you will.

Great base of knowledge.

This was an excellent presentation for a new producer. I would recommend this book to anyone just starting.

Very useful information.

The audio book information was short, to the point and very easy to listen too. I loved his voice and think he would be a great narrator for relaxation or bedtime stories. I think his smooth tone could put me to sleep very easily and I mean that in a positive way.

A good review but basic

A lot of great information if you are totally green. But if you’ve already learned quite a bit about voice acting and audiobooks, this is really just a review.
