These can be obtained at a very low cost. It's easy to get started, and it's interesting to see who comes out on top.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08698975273446567163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285994454231985532.post-56121401007866612282011-05-03T15:14:57.120-04:002011-05-03T15:14:57.120-04:00A wonderful and appropriate reminder for all actor...A wonderful and appropriate reminder for all actors.

Why not include small segments of both inept and excellent narration? What is the harm in embarrassing those who clutter the industry with poor performance? Is it politically incorrect or rude? I would argue they are doing serious damage to audiobooks. The business hardly needs more buffoons. <br /><br />Shouldn't excellent narration deserve the accolade of being used as an example of what is required to elevate the audiobook to a true art form?<br /><br />Anyone who has listened to more than a few dozen audiobooks already knows the difference between a reader busy gazing in the mirror and a narrator serving the story and the author.<br /><br />It's really long past time we tiptoe around the truth. As there are only a small number of gifted actors, there are a precious few truly excellent narrators. The rest couldn't get hired at a third rate AM radio station to read a weather forecast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285994454231985532.post-23858401179896617102011-04-27T12:57:24.680-04:002011-04-27T12:57:24.680-04:00Beautifully articulated - and why I've always ...Beautifully articulated - and why I've always justified writing off my yoga and meditation classes on my taxes - if I'm not fully present, what's the point?Karen Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128459011035225190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285994454231985532.post-49463992850449901992011-04-26T21:56:36.334-04:002011-04-26T21:56:36.334-04:00Very sage advice indeed.
