I am a retired elementary teacher and this would be my dream job! I work with the school of education at my university part-time and I read aloud to our college students that are studying to become K-6 teachers. I have always loved to read aloud to my students.

I glanced @ the bottom right of my screen... I was like "No way!.. It's almost one in the morning?...Oh lol I had it in full screen. It's her time. Not mine." 😀

Thank you for this. Very informative as a total newbie planning to start out. I think I have heard some adult audio books by you. Love your voice!

I just signed up for acx these are great videos love the content!

Hey! I’m working on my album, and I think your voice is perfect for my intro! Is there a cost for a voice over? It’s only 1-2 sentences.

I am publishing my first Children's book, and I want to a voice over narration as well. This was a great video.

This is brilliant! do you have a video explaining how you make the preset rack? love the term "nose fart"!

[joybobrink]

Thank you Angela. I subscribed to your channel and am working my way through all your videos. Do you sell the presets you use and show in your videos?

[isaiah]

Hi! Your videos are GREAT, Angela! I'm new to this😊. Before narrating a book we agree to do, do we buy them in order to read them? Thanks!

Hello, quick question. I was looking at children's picture books to try for my first ever audition, a couple of the books I looked at the audition script was the entire book. Do I just record a few pages and submit that for my audition or do you normally record the entire book for audition? Sorry if its a dumb quesion, still figuring things out!

I feel like I finally found the job that will actually fit me. I wish I can afford that kind of tools though.

I would love to narrate children's stories. Please tell me what I need to do to get started. Thank you in advance.

Is there a option you choose that makes your voice sound a bit robotic or is your voice just that awesome? This is amazing!

This was so helpful, thank you! Is it not necessary to include the illustrator's name in the credits?

[CharacterQueen]

Thank you for these great tips! I have a couple of questions. Why do you have to have the three tracks, the title, story and conclusion, can't it be done all on one track and is that only if you are going through ACX or does it apply If you're narrating a children's book that you got directly from an author?

[SusyRohrscheib]

I find it hard to find children’s book in ACX to audition for. Do you find it difficult too or have you had luck in ACX? Do you know when books are uploaded to audition for? I wish they had an alert feature to notify you when a certain genre is uploaded for audition. That would be awesome if ACX did that. Thanks for sharing 😁

[olaines]

Thanks for the video. Question. Do we have to provide our name as the narrator?

I've written and illustrated a children's picture book which I'm contemplating on narrating, though if I read it as it is it would probably be less than ten minutes long and there will be things that I've not put into words that are in the illustrations, I'm wondering if I should re-write it for the audio book and describe more about what's happening in each scene, is this a thing that happens? Also how long do you think is acceptable for a children's audio book? Many thanks for the content, liked and subscribed.
