Listening to the audiobook of the series Aether’s Revival by Daniel Schinhofen, which is well narrated by Andrea Parsneau. One thing I really love is them including a selection of audio bloopers at the end. More audiobooks should do that.

A friend texted me today that he's finished listening to one of my audiobooks — with glowing praise.

Feedback from strangers is one thing, but hearing from people I know is always mildly terrifying.

Every audiobook is a one-woman show: just me, alone in the sound booth, doing all the voices.

And a lot of my friends are in the arts & know their stuff about performance, too.

So it's all very vulnerable.

I'm delighted & hugely relieved he enjoyed it!

Apparently Apple is harvesting voices from Librevox. As things stand, this is legal.

What a great fucking idea, Apple! Let's take authors out of the equation next! We can all listen to AI reading stories written by AI and watch movies and shows that are CGI and listen to music that is written by AI! Think of all that tedious creativity that will save!

My current audiobook project is genuinely exhausting. Non narrative writing can be hard, but modern, political philosophy is genuinely brutal.

So... many... extra.... words.....

I received the absolutely loveliest compliment from a listener:

"Your voice is incredibly smooth. It's like silk. It feels like ASMR almost."

Now that's the way to an audiobook narrator's heart. ☺️

I haven't done a new audiobook in a few months, and it's making me itchy. I had surgery in October, and it's always a little slower this time of year. I assume the publishers are just taking a moment to breathe after the rush to get books and audiobooks out for Tinselmas.

But I'm coming for you in the new year. I'll make your audiobook awesome.

I do know some folks who worship the object not the content. But as someone who has moved many times, I'm too damned old to be hauling books around.
And as an , all I can say is, thanks for listening.

In the closing stages of proofing of Dracula for my podcast Bayley's Bookshelf - Great Audiobooks. This is the end of the tough part. I find mastering pretty chill as most of it is automated by the chains I made in Reaper and iZotope RX7 so it's mostly babysitting with some interventions as I listen through it all. I've found Dracula to be a challenging read due to phonetic dialogue, Van Helsing's voice and the language being quite archaic - even compared to The War of the Worlds (season 1 of Bayley's Bookshelf) which was published only one year later. Just 6 chapters to proof now and I'm pumped full of Irn Bru Energy and German electronicore. Let's slay this monster!

One of the best parts of being an in the pandemic is the thought that I can be a friendly voice for people in isolation and hopefully make you feel a little less alone. ❤️
