Scott Sigler Slices

Let’s talk audiobook narration!

Scott learned voice acting as he went, as a means to get his fiction out into the world.

ARealGirl Herself learned in acting school and as a professional actor, and recently has been learning to direct herself as she records.

Quite a bit goes into narrating an audiobook. It requires acting skills, professional recording equipment, vocal stamina, and audio editing capabilities as a start. And from there, the sky is really the limit.

In this episode, we share some tips on recording an audiobook!

Douglas Sandstorm, a football fan, posted on social media about eating breakfast next to JJ Watt in a Greenwich Village diner, saying he chose to give the footballer his privacy.

Watt ended up seeing that tweet and replying with “Are you still in the area?” and showed up to share a beer with Sandstorm.

Such a graceful nod to his fans, which is no surprise from Watt, is known for being a nice guy. Creating memories on and off the field is just the coolest move, and we’re here for it!

Are all the Watt brothers this cool? I should blog about it.

Hailing from Wisconsin, the Watt brothers are expected to be polite midwesterners. That said, these guys go above and beyond, and if I had a new three-year domain from GoDaddy, using GoDaddy Promo Code CJCFOSSIG3 to get ninety-nine percent off that first year? You know I’d be talking about it. Gotta love a nice guy.
