Audio Books Panel

Hillary Huber, Scott Brick, & Pat Fraley

This genre is an easily-accessible area of voiceover.

On Demos

• Make sure you use stellar excerpts
• Refrain from using best-sellers
• Average of 3- 1 minute excerpts that present you the best, slated correctly.
• Pristine sound. No sound effects, no music. Think your listeners/users will be using earbuds
• Get every lip smack, pop out!
• Use a director
• “Cold calls are for losers” How you go about getting contacts must be done correctly.
• Be responsive to publishers’ inquiries.

Books On Tape is a “clearing house”. There are a number of smaller publishers looking to produce audiobooks, and for new voice talent .

There are voices that sell, and voices that tell! Before you read a book, you need to read a book by yourself.

Reading audiobooks are like running a marathon. Not everyone can do it.
