LAURIE BOWER GIVES FUN AUDIOBOOK WORKSHOP

7/23/2020

0 Comments

 
Longtime NMBA member, Laurie Bower, gave a fun and informative online workshop on the basics of audiobooks. Laurie opened up the workshop by having all the participants practice vocal warm-up techniques. It was a hilarious sight to see the handful of expressions across the screen as everyone got involved. She covered vocal techniques to keep the audience engaged that could be used not only for audiobook recordings, but also for book readings and public speaking. The majority of the workshop was spent going over the basics of audiobooks, including why audiobooks may be an appealing avenue for authors, advice on how to choose someone to narrate your book, how to market an audiobook, and the general process of recording and getting to a finished audiobook. There was a robust Q&A session at the end where Laurie answered questions regarding pricing, types of software to use, and how to connect with professionals who can produce your audiobook. 

​Laurie Bower’s talent and passion for all things voice-related comes from years working as a  professional voiceover specialist, narrator, actress, singer, radio ad and musical image producer, and DJ. Her numerous character voices and vocal styles come from a lifetime of observing and listening to the many characters she has seen and met, along with training and performance in theatre and film. She has performed professionally as an actress, storyteller, singer, musician, poet, and comedian. To purchase the recording and presentation from this workshop,
