Audiobook Narration Reality: Webinar Aug. 2
Reveals Techniques & How To Get Hired
July 26, 2010
 
Despite the gyrations of today's economy, audiobook sales rose 4.7% in 2009, according to the Audio Publishers Association. And that's surely great news for audiobook narrators.
 
"But if you dream of narrating in a gorgeous publisher's studio in Manhattan while enthralled listeners listen to your golden tones from a chaise lounge by the pool, it's time to wake up," says award-winning voice talent and coach Bettye Zoller
 
On Aug. 2, Zoller and VoiceOverXtra present that wake-up in Audiobooks Webinar #3 - Narration Skills & Getting Hired.
 
For both narration newcomers and those already narrating, the info-packed webinar will tell how to get started, how to get hired, how to narrate in a variety of genres, and more.
 
And in a lively Q&A, you'll have all your questions answered.
 
It's Part 3 of Zoller's Audiobook webinar series. A special discount is available for ordering the entire series.
 
RECEIVE FREE RECORDING
 
Like all Bettye Zoller webinars, this is a must event, and will become a keeper. That's why all registered attendees will receive a free recording of the entire event - handy for reference and in the event they can't attend the live webinar.
 
And attending a webinar is easy and fun, says VoiceOverXtra's John Florian. "Plus, it's an economical and highly convenient way to learn - at home, on your computer," he says.
 
"Just link to the URL we'll give you, and watch and hear the presentation. You can also access the audio by phone," he explains.

FEEL ALONE?
 
"Narrating audiobooks - alone in your home studio - can be horrifying if you don't know what you're doing," Zoller notes.
 
For instance, you need skills to:
  • prepare the script,
  • narrate for long stretches of time,
  • record and edit the long form, and
  • market yourself successfully to audiobook publishers.
