Mike called me a few days later and said he loved my voice and hired me to record my first book, “Delicious” by Susan Mallery. What was so much fun was that, as an actor, storytelling came naturally, but getting to play all the characters plus narrate the story was a new adventure that I loved. Then I went into the studio and read each piece.
If there were any words I didn’t know how to pronounce, I looked them up and made sure I said them correctly. I prepped for the pieces by practicing my characters and accents.
I was sent a couple of fiction and nonfiction pieces to prepare for the audition. I found myself reading for an open call audition at the end of that class and the audiobook gods looked down on me: Mike Charzuk of Audible heard my audition and asked me to come read for him. It was an entirely different acting world than I imagined. The class allowed me to get into the studio, learn how to prep scripts, and start working with the microphone and engineer. I learned that I had a good voice for storytelling and Robin encouraged me to take her audiobook intensive class to learn the tools of the trade. Well, I was introduced to audiobook narration 15 years ago when I took a class with Robin Miles.
