My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.
Story isn’t about “what happens” - it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel - and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!

If you were a professor, you'd be the one everyone stays up until 2am to get a headstart in registering for your class, and hoping they get in. Also, somewhere in an alternate universe, you're dropping your next music album.

You’re the first author I’ve seen narrate their own book. You make indie authors proud. 🙏🙏🙏

♥.♥ I absolutely love when authors read their own books for audio! Because its true, authors know how they want the characters and the voices to sound. ♥

Aw so true

@briannas.6741 3 года назад

It’s fitting that she highlighted Weston in yellow, since he was the source of that sunlight for 100 days 😊

@claire98 3 года назад

This is honestly so impressive. I know that I could never narrate my own book because I'm a shitty voice actor. But you're amazing! It was so enjoyable and insightful to watch you record your reading 💖🤗

@IsabelleMarot 3 года назад

Omg same haha I have a lisp and I’m awful with breathing hahaha Also I’m Australian writing American characters 😂

@aliqatari8110 3 года назад

OMG! I laaaav the way you take out Weston's voice!

@jenniferbeckman9462 3 года назад

I love that you are recording this yourself!! I totally agree that only the author can put the right inflection into the characters. It's going to be wonderful, I just know it! Great job!!

@taliw7736 2 года назад

Yes

@jasmineyoung7565 3 года назад

Writers life Wednesdays keep me sane :) This was such an exciting one! I love it when authors read their own audiobooks.

@LydiaKrow 2 года назад

The best advice I got for doing voices other than my own (such as male, old, young, etc.) was to change the /cadence/ of how I spoke rather than trying to lower or raise my voice. I listened to a friend of mine (who narrated audio books professionally) do a female voice, and though his voice was naturally deep if I closed my eyes and simply ignored the tone of his voice, I felt like I was listening to a woman. He spoke in a more breathy manner, took his time with vowel sounds, and added these little touches that were very feminine. MUCH better than when men try to speak in a high tone but otherwise change nothing - falsetto doesn't work. Additionally, if you can put your breath in different places, such as trapping into your chest (older person), pushing it to the front of your mouth and slightly into the nasal (young), or filling your chest with breath (male), it helps a lot.

I really don't understand how this channel doesn't have more subscribers. Your content is excellent, your video editing skills are on point. I really enjoy watching every single of your videos. Keep doing what you're doing.

@ninanadine1185 3 года назад

I'm so excited! My cousin is blind so I'll get the audio book for him!

@darrenfreyauthor 3 года назад

That's your baby. You have the confidence and the voice to record your own audiobook. Don't feel anything negative in those regards. You're kind of a rockstar!

@brandyange1753 3 года назад

I've been debating narrating my own book vs getting a guy for the same reasons! I am so glad you made this video, it just pushed me further into the "do it myself" camp! Please make more videos about this process! As soon as I get through the release of my second book, I'm going to start recording my first.

@yizuhi5908 3 года назад

@jennymcniven 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing this! I will definitely be doing my own audiobook as I already do some voice over and sound editing and have been thinking about audiobook narration for a while. I loved Lorelei's audiobook as well! Now, just have to finish my book...

@robinsprung207 3 года назад

@Amy_Mi6 3 года назад

Love this behind the scenes vlog, Abbie! I low key wasn’t sure I would enjoy this video since it wasn’t about writing but it was so much fun to watch! Thanks for taking us along for the ride :) Definitely looking fwd to more BTS vlogs like this!

@theliterarymaiden3112 3 года назад

So first off, you really inspire me! Second, I haven't watched your videos in a hot minute and the editing and the way this was filmed is such an improvement! That intro is 🔥🔥🔥! Just wanted to say I appreciate the time and effort that went into this video!

@dacrewordsmith 3 года назад

Perhaps you already knew this story, maybe you didn't, but I thought of this nugget of gold as you reveal this aspect of your writer-journey. Film: Once "A vacuum repairman (Glen Hansard) moonlights as a street musician and hopes for his big break. One day a Czech immigrant (Marketa Irglova), who earns their living selling flowers, approaches him with the news that she is also an aspiring singer-songwriter. The pair decide to collaborate, and the songs that they compose reflect the story of their blossoming love." Glen Hansard wasn't/isn't an actor, in the true sense of the word, but rather a musician (The Frames; gorgeous Irish alt-pop band) AND the writer of EVERY song for this film concept. They completed a bag-load of auditions, but couldn't really find the right 'actor' for the musician role. The story has it that they went back to Glen, the musician, and asked him to audition for the acting role. Long story, short: NAILED IT! It was so amazing that to watch the film, "Once", you would think your watching a documentary. You would think that Glen and Marketa TRULY fall in love and are a couple in real life; such is their on-screen connection. The song "Falling Slowly", went on to receive critical acclaim, awards etc... Which goes to my point. Ultimately the artist most heavily involved in the creation/existence of said-art is quite often the most capable to extend it forward in another direction. For 'One Hundred Days...', this is clearly going to be you, yourself. Well done, and thank you for causing this to exist, and furthering it's reach and appeal. DW. ps. You may well love the film 'Once' also; feel free to check it out! Story-telling/Music/Humour/Irish things! It's a quadruple-threat! ^_^

Oh this is so cool!! I love that you're narrating your own book, it makes it extra special to listen to! This process is so interesting, I never realized how much goes into making an audiobook. You're such an inspiration to me! Love your Siri voice!

I recorded several of my novels’ audiobooks, so I know what it’s like. I loved editing out the mouth sounds, even though it was such a tedious task. But it was very rewarding. 😁

@piroreaper14 3 года назад

I'm a long time sub and I love your videos! Just wanted to drop a comment and say your production quality for this video was on point!! Great work with all the b-roll and music editing. I'm sure it took a ton of work but I'd love to see more videos like this. It's fun, energetic, and I love how familiar it feels. Like when you're editing your audio and turning back to the camera to make comments... it feels like we're right there with you. Excellent, excellent work!

@nourfourti6029 3 года назад

Wow! I just can say WONDERFUL 💙 You're so organized

@rymaru2138 3 года назад

Is audiobook out yet?? My Mom and I want to get back into reading and this seems like the perfect start. We need the audiobook version though because we're going to be listening while we work out. Also, your method just worked on her 😂 I told her that your character ends up blind for 100 days and then I told her why it matters to her and she was laughing and she was engaged...after two sentences. So yeah. Go Abbie!

@ilovelife334 3 года назад

I literally used this same music for a skit I made last month. 11:08 Also, Abbie, I LOVE the way you did Weston's voice. It's so good!

@moontuft 3 года назад

I recently brought your book, I’ve almost finished and I’m loving it so much 💖

@katevenhorst1723 Год назад

Abbie, your section about reading/ the technicalities of recording your own audiobook has been more helpful than some audiobook narrator's videos on this topic. Thank you for showing how you edited your audio in ProTools. Also, listening to you edit audiobooks could be a separate ASMR video.

@emilianomarquez4820 3 года назад

I'm learning English and your pronunciation helps me a lot to improve my listening. Thank you very much :D

@J_T_B 3 года назад

@iamsarahlarsen 3 года назад

Wow, a lot more to this process than I imagined! Can’t wait to listen to your book. I consume most books through Audible these days.

@AnnMarieMoore 3 года назад

Thank you! Although I wish I had this sooner, so many great tips for those of us creating an audiobook of our books.😁 I love your behind the scenes and thank you for sharing your journey! 😊 I dove into the audiobook world not long ago and started podcasting my first book of my nine book series. I recently discovered Protools because my daughter is preparing to record an album and we are her behind the scenes editing and mixing team. And I wondered if Protools would work for audiobooks. And you showed it does! And so cool because Pro tools supports multitract recording, excellent for the plans I have for the radio drama of my third book in the series. I especially love audiobooks that are read by the author but those have been mostly nonfiction. I don't know if any fiction books I have on Audible that the author reads themselves. So yours will be the first and can't wait to listen to100 Days of Sunlight!

@optimisticambivert 2 года назад

This is badass. Personally if I wrote my own book, I'd want to be the one to record the audio too.

@YolandeduPlessiswriter 3 года назад

This was really cool!!! Good luck with the audiobook. I might not be as brave as you to do this even though I studied drama and have done acting before. I might still consider doing the recording, but not the editing of it. You are truly amazing in doing all this yourself. Very talented! 💗

@WadzanaiMufunde 3 года назад

Omggggg I totally wanted to do my narration on my book….. this was awesomeeeee

@TheThreeBookshelves 3 года назад

This was so fascinating! I’ve often wondered how audiobooks are made, so thank you for this insight! If I ever have an audiobook made of my book, I’d sell my left arm to have Rebecca Soler narrate it-by far the best narrator I’ve ever listened to. She narrates the Lunar Chronicles series, and it’s the only one of my favourite series that I enjoy just as much (if not more) on audio. Otherwise, I’d probably want to be my own narrator, too, because like you said, no one knows our characters better than we do!

@FatyBdreamer 3 года назад

OMG ! I'm also planning to make an audio Book of my own novel myself for the same exact reasons you said ♥️ You're awesome girl

@emiliasoderstrandnystrom4791 3 года назад

Abbie 😍 I've actually been thinking about narriate an audiobook for my own book, but I'm guessing I was a little unsure.. But this really got me inspired agian 😍 I mean, I have a LONG way until my book's actually finished, but seeing you doing this yourself made it seem possible to do something similar myself 😍 thank you Abbie for just being amazing 🌟🙌

@MissKateWalk 3 года назад

"I remember watching her edit that part!" - now that I am watching this video, yeah, I actually do remember listening to that part of the audiobook :D And love it so much, honestly, I don't remember even reading (or listening to) any book that was so perfectly written and deeply relatable and moving. At some point I was literally crying my eyes out over how richly well-written it is... I know this sounds crazy, but I really never felt this level of admiration to an author's talent, ever before. And favourite authors are Tolkien and Dostoevsky, so that level is pretty high 😂😂 and you absolutely amazed me. Thank you so much for this unbelievable experience ❤️ Can't wait to also hold the actual book in my hand, counting down to 6 more days yaay ❤️

@artguru4956 3 года назад

You play piano 🙃 I do as well! I also love to write and read! You’ve really helped me a lot when I’m writing tbh I think you are one of the only writing channels I come to for advice :)
