Thank you Bill. I'd love to see a session of you recording an audio book - even if it's simulated.

[clairemonroewriter]

I've been turning all of my stories into audiobooks and they're loving them!

[ryanlansford]

LOVE this guy! Just started looking into doing audio books and got my first contract yesterday! Thank you!

[Jorgepintoasus]

When I was a teenager a Class III license was required to be an on-air radio personality. I kept a stack of magazines in the bathroom and read copy aloud from them every time I went to the bathroom. It drove my mother crazy, but I knew I would have to read advertising copy in that position. 55 years later I have developed that "whiskey and cigarettes" quality to my voice, at great personal cost. During that time I have been the frontman for boogie rock bands throughout the midwest and wrote essays about being raised on a farm in the 50s, as well as a few books. Now I want to publish those books and do the reading for audio Books. I am really looking for your guidance. My stance is that if I can' read them, no one gets the books.

I'm the complete opposite. Just finished my first audio book, was the most money per hour I've ever made in VO and was an absolute nightmare. I just can't stand the editing time. I enjoy just nailing short commercial work and moving onto the next job, got waaay to much ADHD too do audiobooks.

Thank you as always for such valuable information 🤗

[kitsorcerer]

Thank you. I'm started planning my recordings for my channel and you confirmed how I think I should approach it. I was thinking of breaking my recordings into sections to 1. Go easy on my voice 2. Easier to edit

[callemorgan]

This was wonderfully helpful. Thank you 🙏

I am here trying to self-promote and learn all i can to get better with voiceovers. thank you for your video.

[CrownVoiceActing]

Loved the video and subscribed! One question though, what exactly does that 60 second demo sound like?

[mamandapanda]

Thanks Bill! I'd have quit if I went straight to audio books, because editing/mastering short-form reads has been absolutely bleeping excruciating. But, I'm ready to dive in, after several months.

Thank you Bill. Very informative w no fluff.

[jessicasalo]

Thank you so much, that was incredibly helpful!

[purenaturebreath]

Thanks Bill for the great video! Very informative. Thinking about getting into voice over.

[Icemanlimzi]

BROOO thankyou so much, this really helped and the tutorial was really easy to use as well :)

[learnaudiobasics]

Another great video Bill, thanks! A question about pay for audiobooks: early on should you focus only on $ per finished hour vs. royalty and or royalty share? Being paid right away is super important early on in order to begin building a career; especially if you have a family to care for.

Hey, I just bought a great Kia Forte!

[jeffpolage]

Your advice really gets me motivated! I am really thinking of jumping into this. I do have a few voiceover samples of narration on my YouTube page. I would be forever grateful for some advice and tips. Of course if you're unable I understand.

[NickSalvatoriello]

Very helpful advice, Bill! Thank you!
