Creating an audiobook

 

I do nearly all my "reading" on Audible.com these days, so I'm trying to make my all of my books listenable. For A Long Thaw, I used AI and it turned  out fine, but the experience was nothing like working with a voice artist like I did while creating the audio book for Finding Charlie.

I went back to ACX.com to create the audio book for Blood & Water. The process was similar, but I chose a different payment option and I was able to do a search for narrators based on their payment requirements -some do royalty splits, some have flat hourly rates.

Casey Montgomery was able to voice the five alternating narrators in my book by giving them each a slightly different sound. There's something nearly cinematic in hearing it preformed and I really love the way it turned out.
