Today's unpronounceable word for my mouth: gritted. I either emphasize the t's and sound like I over-enunciate things, or else it's "gridded." My mouth cannot seem to find a happy medium... 😅 #voiceover #audiobooks

Now on Day 6 of what was supposed to be a 2 day project doing maintenance work on our roof. I've been unable to do much of anything in my booth with all the noise. Should be done today, though! Then I will be playing catch-up with recording and editing! #audiobooks #voiceacting

I had the great privilege of narrating the audiobook of _Personal Injury: A Corrupt Conspiracy_ by @scottjohniauthor, and now it's been released into the world! This fast-paced action thriller is a terrific read (and, I hope, listen)! Go grab your copy on Audible and/or Amazon! #audiobook

It's a busy time in my booth! Auditioned for the AHAB Halloween Audition Workshop, finishing prep for an audiobook, got shortlisted for a couple of video-game roles, graduated from coaching with Sean Pratt, and more! As one of my advisors used to say, "SLEEP?!? Sleep you can get when you're dead!"

Currently in the prep phase for my next audiobook: _Stellar Origins_ by Nicholas C. Hershey. This is a fun, fast-paced book with a unique blend of sci-fi and fantasy elements, unlike anything I've read before! Pumped to be working on this! Thanks to Nick for having me on board!

The 5th annual Utah Audiobook Narrators Conference last Saturday was mind-blowing! Thanks SO much to Emma Faye for putting it together and P.J. Ochlan (shown with me in the photo), whose eye-opening POV about POV I will be taking to heart in all my narration. #audiobooks #voiceover

One of my favorite quotes, and something I try to live by. Rather than letting errors or failures get to me, view them as lessons that teach you to not make those mistakes again. It's not easy in the face of impostor syndrome. There's another, more valuable perspective and approach to them!

Now entering the proofing and editing phase in my recording of _Personal Injury_ by Scott Johni. This is an amazingly fun book, full of terrific characters (who are challenging my narration skills in the best ways)! #audiobooks #voiceover

RECOMMENDATION: if you're going to proof and edit your own audiobook narration, splurge on a really good desk chair in which you can sit comfortably for long periods. My cheap-y model, even with a seat cushion, make my tush ache after not very long... 😬 #audiobooks #voiceacting

It's been ages since I've read Huckleberry Finn, but I'm learning a lot of new perspectives about it, and having a really fun time, by narrating _Study Guide for Decoding The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn_ by Steven Smith (published by Sherwood Press)!

A few weeks ago, my wife & I went to the supercross finals in SLC. It made me think about analogies with voiceover. Both:
* require coaching, practice, & skill.
* can be grueling.
* require financial investment.
* are rewarding.
But don't try voiceover anywhere near motorcycle races...! #voiceover

Great conversation today over on Clubhouse (as there is every Wednesday) about all things audiobook narration! Highly recommend @anaclements.bsky.social's Narrators Assemble group if you're not already in there, as well as Brian Telestai's Narrators' Workout on Mondays!
