13227: I Feel Seen And Heard…By James Clear

04/15/25 • 5 min

Hey there, hero!

So there I am, minding my own business, checking my email after submitting an on-camera audition (I didn’t even change out of my scrubs for this episode), and I see the latest edition of the author of Atomic Habits ( paperback | audiobook ), James Clear’s weekly 3-2-1 newsletter ( subscribe here ).

#3 in the third of his gems stopped me in my tracks.

He was singing my song. You know, my song of success (or at least the definition of success I’ve been singing for decades).

I can’t tell you how joyful I am that he agrees with me.

And I ask a simple question toward the end of the episode that I’d love for you to answer below in the comments (on VOHeroes.com/podcast - go there if you’re reading these show notes on YouTube or on your podcast listening app).

Does my definition of success help you? Frustrate you? Confuse you? Comfort you and support you? Let me know in the comments below.

13226: Narrating Audiobooks? Don't Forget The Acting Part

Hey there, hero!

So you have an audiobook to narrate. Compared to a lot of other acting jobs, it’s a much bigger job - sometimes exponentially larger.

And it’s such a big event that it causes us to sometimes assign an outsized scope of the undertaking, and misplace what’s important for success.

Yes, you have a lot of tech and process details to deal with.

But you also have to do the acting part.

Creating characters in audiobooks (and that includes the neutral narrator) means giving them the same due as you will with the characters you get to create on camera or on stage or in commercials.

You hear it in the work of the narrators (actors) we all revere.

Have you found yourself worrying more about being technically perfect rather than an awesome actor when doing audiobooks? Let me know in the comments below.
