- Author's - Learn How To Turn Your Book Into An Audio Book Starring Your Voice

If you are an author and have always wanted to turn your work into an audio book and don't want someone else to narrate it, come to my masteringvoiceover.com studio. I'll teach you the vocal skills you need and then help you record your audio book. Then you can keep your percentage of sales not just as the author but also the narration percentage fees. On audible.com, this means that you will keep 40% of total sales instead of just 20% of sales. Come to one of the Saturday free Workshop/Seminars or one free voiceover class on Wednesday nights to find out how you can develop your voiceover skills and turn your book into an audio book starring you.

Rehearse Before Recording To Reduce # of Takes and Editing Time

People ask me all the time how I can produce so much finished audio in one day. It varies of course depending on how the copy is written. The real secret is to rehearse a lot before you step into the booth. I had done over 50 plays by the time I was in my mid thirties so I had a habit of rehearsal. I treat my recording sessions as if they are readers theater where everything is "live." Everyone is different of course. There is no right way or wrong way. It just depends on how you prefer to work
I like having my approach all worked out so the number of retakes are reduced and consequently the editing time is a lot less.
