I had a fantastic chat with audiobook narrator Phoebe Strole, who narrated both The Ivies and Pretty Dead Queens, and so many other great books! Phoebe shares her process, how she got into audiobook narration, her favorite reading genres, and her recommendations to those interested in audiobook narration as a career.

This was so interesting! I've been an audio book nerd since Audible started, and I've wondered a lot of the same things. Excellent interview, Alexa!

I LOVE PHEOBE!!! I saw her back in the day in Spring Awakening on Broadway!!!

@geeseboots Год назад

I always wonder about this! Thank you for providing intriguing behind the scenes conversations. I have pre-ordered and can't wait for the new release! 🥰

@GrumpaBaggins Год назад

I've secretly always wanted to be a voice actor. Glad you covered this topic!

@AFringedGentian Год назад

New content from Alexa is a cause of celebration. But this is a TREAT. What a delight to learn more about this process.

Being disabled by violence and thus having my income destroyed, I am enthusiastically grateful for the uploading of your potent wordsmithing that I & others like me can listen to for free on RU-vid❤️🌹

@TheHarlequinLady Год назад

This is such fantastic timing! I've literally just downloaded the Ivies Audiobook [really looking forward to it] and I decided this morning I wanted to look into narration. Also its always exciting to see a new video

@jennifercooper8446 Год назад

Thanks Alexa! This is so fascinating! I have been hoping to read for my own audio book. This gives me a ton of food for thought.

@DovieRuthAuthor Год назад

This was great, Alexa. One thing I’ve always wondered about audiobooks is how narrators handle “raw” language. My psychological thriller is set in a state mental hospital. Both the residents and staff have potty mouths. For the most part, the young protagonist is rather naive. Amazon has suggested that I turn this into an audiobook, but this one issue has me baffled.

@B00kMaiden Год назад

Considering some of the "spicier" books I listen to, I'd say it shouldn't be a problem 😘

@tathoiclassicalindianbollywood Год назад

I am subscribed and have notifications turned on, but didn't get a notif for this video. Anyways, thank you Alexa for doing this. Really interesting, as I have recently embraced audiobooks, which has opened a whole new world of reading for me.

@MillieMartineuz Год назад

Very interesting, Alexa. Thanks. She's great. My copy of The Ivies is an audiobook. And nice to see you back here. 🙂

@mare2723 Год назад

I have a background in theater and training in readers theater and radio. I would love to do audiobooks.

@timpancakes2011 Год назад

That was so interesting!! Thanks for sharing

@Maleah.mp4 Год назад

I’ve been wondering about this topic 🥰

@EddieCaplan Год назад

Alexa, advice for writing for audiobooks? When I write I'm aware of how my words will sound when read aloud. I've found myself changing the wording to avoid confusing homonyms. Am I overthinking this?

Everyone needs a Beyonce fan This is more of a "Lets talk about my book" than actually interviewing the narrator

@romeoandthechickenfeather Год назад

My burning, burning question about audio books is... what do you they do when they mess up? Do they have to re-read the entire chapter (? presumably not), the whole paragraph (? perhaps?) or do they just do from the line? Also, how often do they cut the recordings? Is it like film where they can piece together a scene from multiple different takes, or do you have to have a clear run through? Honestly, just the *mechanics* of it all is fascinating.

@Laura_DiNunno Год назад

I don't know what it's like in a studio because I record at home, but some do what is called a punch and roll where you just go back and re-record over the mistake and continue on. I use a dog clicker, where if I flub something I hit the dog clicker and it makes a spike on the waveform and then I'll go back when done and just edit the mistakes out.

@romeoandthechickenfeather Год назад

@@Laura_DiNunno interesting! Thanks for replying. Audio books seem to just pop into the air - unlike filming, or even recording songs - there's not much information about how they actually come to be.

@LauraPalmerD Год назад

read the messed-up word or sentence and swap it with editing. i recently worked with a voice-over artist for an ebook and that's what she did.

@Cmcreationsmcr Год назад

This was interesting to listen to, I had no idea so much was involved. I love the way Kobna Holdbrook-Smith narrates a book, he has a wonderful voice.

@muratisik6956 11 месяцев назад

You should do more interviews.

@dylanwickersham5610 Год назад

This is neat!

@yaelsbookthoughts9792 Год назад

This was such an interesting interview! Phoebe is lovely but I do want to brush her hair so bad... Anyways, great content as always.

@andeeharry Год назад

Ooooh, look like it is. I wondered if you remembered us and this channel. I was thinking of starting a Toktoc to find you or something. You missed load of stuff, loads of info and we missed loads you know.

@B00kMaiden Год назад

I've always wanted to do voice narration , but I have a "younger" Tennessee/Southern girl voice. I do well with annunciation, but I don't know that I could ever completely remove the Southern out of my voice 😏
