Episode 1: The Truth About Audiobook Narration (It’s Not What You Think)
If you’ve ever thought audiobook narration is just reading out loud… this is your first reframe.
In this episode of Good Aural, I break down what audiobook narration actually is—and why having a “good voice” is not what makes a performance work. We talk about the biggest misconceptions, what listeners are really responding to, and why romance, in particular, will expose the difference between sounding good and telling the truth.
Whether you’re a narrator, actor, audiobook fan, or just curious about the industry, this is where we start.
If you’re in audiobooks—or trying to be—drop a comment. I want to know where you’re at in the process.
And if this kind of breakdown is helpful, follow along. There’s a lot more coming.
