I Left My Brains in San Francisco

Karina, when you first decided on this venture, were you worried that no one would ever be able to bring your characters to life as you imagined them? Not worried at all. Her inflections are not mine. It added a new dimension to the story, and it made some scenes take on different levels. I will admit and Becky knows that Roscoe is nothing at all like I imagined.

When she's not converting her wild tales to stories, she's enjoying time with her husband, Rob, their four kids, and their two dogs.

It was jarring for me at first, but after a chapter or two because he has short appearances in this one , my ear got used to it. Becky, do you need to really love the material to take a job, or are you game for anything? But what I am not really interested in is poor writing or unedited writing. Good authors have talent; great authors have editors.

Yeah, that was probably written by an editor, but I think it is safe to say that every manuscript that is going to be published really should have an editor. My favorite, though, is audiobooks that call for sound effects. Becky, when you are preparing to record a book, do you pre-read the entire book, or just get a feel for it and then read it cold?

For example, the attitude of a character sometimes does not become clear until the next character responds or the scene is further along. Karina, was this a collaborative process from start to finish, or was the finished product a surprise? A little of both. Becky emailed me about particular characters and phrases and caught some typos! But other things I did not expect, and more than once, I buckled over laughing. Then Becky gave me the best surprise of all.

I am not a poet.

I am not a songwriter. I did some lame rhyming and vague meter, had one character say it had kind of a reggae beat because I thought that would be the funniest contrast to the words, and left it at that.

Becky, how do you make the voices of the various characters in a book distinct, and do you ever try accents? Distinct voices is actually a very important aspect of narration to me. I use several techniques in changing my voice. I can focus it more into my nose for a more nasal sound, drop it into my chest for those big heavy guys, add raspiness or breathiness, raise or lower the register.

Even just changing my face into a squint or scrunch can change the voice. But one of the challenges is remembering, in a book with lots of characters, who sounds like what and how I made that voice.

The toughest is when a minor character suddenly turns up again. At times I have to go back to listen to what I did before. Becky, what makes the perfect author client and what makes your worst nightmare?

Karina Fabian – Fiction, Faith & Fun

What is the demand for audio books and who do you see at the target audience? Do you see them most often rented from libraries or Amazon etc.

And are they most popular as downloads or physical copies? The audiobook market is growing annually by double digits. But there is still a fairly strong market for CDs as well. There is an increasing number of audios showing up as available through libraries as downloads — through OverDrive.

See a Problem?

As for the target audience for audiobooks overall, it is definitely adults listening to fiction. Do you have any advice for writers on the hunt for a voiceover artist to read their book? However, I would say find someone who will work with you and get some samples of the work. Get auditions that are at least 5 minutes long. And listen to other audiobooks narrated by the narrator. Listen to the whole thing. Because many narrators can deliver an audition piece that sounds like you could listen for hours, but after an hour you may be tired of listening. A narrator needs to stay fresh and keep the listener engaged throughout.

  • The Invention of Deconstruction.
  • Shut Up and Kiss Me.
  • Tristan und Isolde - Ein Vergleich zwischen Richard Wagners Libretto und Gottfried von Straßburgs Tristan-Roman (German Edition).
  • Best Sellers?

Also, I strongly suggest using a narrator who is a trained, professional actor. That makes a huge difference. You can find more about Becky at the following links: Website , Blog ,. Call Neeta Lyffe, Zombie Exterminator—but not this weekend.
