I'm joined tonight by actor, audiobook narrator, and narration coach Helen Lloyd!

Helen talks about her early years as an actor and how she found her way into the audiobook world. Helen then describes her experience as Bee Audio's "UK Voice Wrangler," and how that eventually led to her coaching practice. And she does the entire interview with a British accent! All this and more over some Earl Grey tea, an elderflower and pressed pear cordial, and a Fancy Free!

Episode 65: Michael Kinsey

My guest tonight is audiobook engineer Michael J. Kinsey!

Michael describes how important the drums were to him growing up, and how his experience digitizing music tapes helped open the door to audiobook engineering at Recording For The Blind And Dyslexic (now Learning Ally). Michael also talks about his approach to mastering an audiobook, and how important it is to get recording levels (not to mention your recording environment) right. All this over a shot of Patron tequila and a Tropical Lifesaver!
