If you’ve been following the lead-up to the launch of my new series, no doubt you’ve seen the news that Will Damron will narrate Fade In. Along with many fans and the publisher, I’m excited to have him on board. When we started discussing audiobooks, I made a short list of the readers who seemed right for the role. Then I listened to their auditions and Will was the guy who sounded like the Fade in my head. Oddly, this is the first time I’ve been invited to weigh in on who will read a novel I’ve written. It was a challenging but fascinating process.
We Have A Narrator. Now What?
After this experience, I realized that I had no idea how the narration process works. How are mistakes fixed? How long does it take to prepare for the role of every single character in the book? What kind of notations are on the manuscript?
I started a short list of questions that then transformed into a long list. Since I now have a professional voice actor in my contacts, I thought this might be a great time to dig into the world of audiobooks.
The Process. Revealed.
Will and I recently recorded an in-depth Q&A that will pull back the curtain and give fans a look at how the sausage is made. We’ll only offer this exclusive episode at the end of the Fade In audiobook. So stick around after the last chapter. You won’t regret it!
