What do you create?
What do you create?
I just decided to start asking this instead of 'what do you do?' when meeting people. Figured I'd try it out on you folks.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm working on an audiobook of a novel I wrote. I have another recording session today with voice actors who play my characters!
Oh, that must be exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time, seeing your characters come to life. How do you convey what you imagine the characters to sound and act like?
Oh yeah, its amazing to hear the voices for these people but, as you say, it's scary. Since I'm the director and creator it all falls to me to decide everything. I mean EVERYTHING from inflictions in their voices, how a line is delivered, scheduling, payment etc. Of course, I give my actors freedom to interpret how they see the characters. You have to have a fine balance between making decisions but also letting them be creative with what they do during directing sessions.
Is this an already published book? Or are you releasing it concurrently with the audiobook?
I'm releasing it concurrently with the book. I've still got a lot to do before I can release anything however so I'm just doing the chapters that I know are 100% done
That sounds even more stressful. Good luck!
You have no idea...anyways, thanks!
