Narrating Your Audiobook: Voicing and Recording Tips for a Stellar Performance

Whether you’re self-producing or you’ve been hired by your audiobook publisher to narrate your own book, author/narrator Tori Eldridge will guide you from pitch to audition to rehearsal and through your recording sessions to bring out your best possible work. She’ll discuss voicing your book’s narrator, different characters, and even multiple POVs. She’ll also explain the process, the tech, how to prepare, and what to expect from your publishing company, producer, director, and engineer.

Before narrating KAUA‘I STORM, Tori acted on Broadway, television, and film—on-camera and voiceovers—in addition to recording in studios as a singer. She’ll address the nuanced differences for narrating an audiobook and how you can use these new skills to improve your author readings online and in-person as well.
