*squeeeee!!* I just received an awesome little bit of “audiobook” insight by one of our favorite authors who narrated her own book! THE book that had so many of us gasping in the end  (check out my 4.5 star review of Push. You’ll see ;)). But I had no idea she narrated it in audiobook format! (by the way, it is bargain priced even in audio…) When I found out, I had SO many questions about her experience, and she was all to happy to help!

Claire Wallis: I enjoyed reading your post about audiobook narrators. Not sure if you’re aware, but PUSH was recently released as an audiobook from Audible Studios, and I was lucky enough to read for the main character, Emma. It was a really interesting process. If you’d like, I’m happy to share some details on how the process worked from my end and what I was feeling as I did the narration. Also, I have several free downloads to share, if you’d like to give one away to a reader. read more

So… with all of this newfound interest in audiobooks (and realizing that so many here specifically choose audiobooks for so many reasons and how so many of our favs are bargain priced – check out this awesome post: Audiobook Addiction: Our fellow readers weigh in on their favorites…), I started wondering about the audiobook narrators.

Because, they are in fact reading the book TO us, and therefore must experience emotion as a reader would, right? I have a fun interview with a much-loved male narrator right here: Q&A with Emma Chase and her TIED audiobook narrator Sebastian York… but I still had questions. read more
