@@jaymyersvoiceover Thanks. I'm just about to start building my booth. The closet/blanket setup isn't working for me, too many birds singing in the background.
Awesome! And speaking from personal experience, everyone takes a while to get comfortable hearing their own voice, and the ONLY person who has an issue with it is more often than not oneself. For what it's worth ;)
Curious Jay… do you annotated your audiobook manuscripts? If so, I’d love to see a video on that. I tend to use Pozotron to highlight character names as they pop up in the text, but beyond that, I like to keep the manuscript as clean (and devoid of markups) as possible. But just curious about your process. Thanks for another great video! 😎
@@jaymyersvoiceover Fantastic! Looking forward to hearing your perspective on that. And as always, thanks for providing such helpful insight into this industry. 🙏🏻
Listening to audiobooks, some narrators really lean into different character voices but others seems to barely change their voice. More like it's just an attitude change. Is there any hard and fast rule here? Or more just what you're comfortable with?
I actually have another video somewhat talking to this point, but couched in the question "How do you voice feminine characters as a 'male narrator'". I think the video is called "Narrating Diverse Characters" or something like that. But to be brief, it really is a comfort thing, what the narrator enjoys doing, and if the text benefits from it or not.
Avid listener to audio stories. And I appreciate what you're saying here as a Layman. It just destroys me when I actually know I would enjoy the storyline. Person reading so mono and voice income. That turns into white noise. Not even a change of pitch between gender. No senior Gruff or Junior pitch. Funimate stylish dead is people actually pay for this. How can Mary be that delusional to not seek the highest quality that they can find. It's obvious they're aware of this. Something is band is this. Don't they realize the the few pennies their saving they're probably losing hundreds of dollars. And possibly their career writer in this field. If your product never reaches and Market due to your poor choice of presentation. How foolish. I know I'm preaching to the choir. But I just and a book that I just so wanted to listen to. Now I have to hunt it down and read it myself. Like audios because I use it when I'm doing such things as hiking, cleaning my box. I got that from boss and me.

Thanks for the advice! I am going to read my own book. The main issue is that I hate my own voice...
