On the next Webcast Live, we’ll have part three of our series, “Who Do They Think You Are” – all about post-production and what editors/producers are expecting/hoping/desperately wishing narrators would do to make their lives easier, thereby making them appreciate you and - let’s cross our fingers - hire you more.

Joining the show is returning guest Amanda Currier, Production Manager for Tantor Audio, and Jonathan Yen, who does post-production work on projects for several major publishers. We’ll ask them all your burning questions, and we know the one you most want to ask: “Are they not hiring me because I had too many pickups?” From sound quality to delivery to all those nitty gritty details you might forget for different producers, we’ll get all the info from the pros who know.

We’ll have giveaways for live audience members, so make sure to join us LIVE!

Join us for the continuation of the discussion begin at APAC 2021 about the international audiobook market. In this session we will hear about the audio market in the following territories:

• The Nordics, Europe, Asia, and MENA - presented by the Editor and Publisher of The New Publishing Standard newsletter, Mark Williams and Giacomo D’Angelo
• The UK market - presented by Steve Bohme, UK Research Director, Nielsen Book Research

The presenters will focus on the drivers of growth in each of these markets, with an opportunity for a Q&A after each session. We look forward to you joining us!

Watch and listen to narrators from Rookie to Veteran elevating a script as they are directed by top industry producer/directors. Learn studio etiquette and how to make those adjustments under the pressure of working away from the comfort of your home studio with a director listening to your every word. Each performance will be followed by a discussion of what works, what doesn’t, and, well, it’s all a matter of opinion anyway...isn’t it?
