That\u2019s great! <a href=\"https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\/blog\/library\/voice-over\/unabridged-audiobook-voice-overs-the-voice-can-make-the-book\/\"><strong>The audiobook industry is one of the fastest-growing out there<\/strong><\/a>. In fact, it\u2019s growing about 25% year-over-year! If that doesn\u2019t want to make you learn how to become an audiobook narrator, nothing will.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you already ply your trade in the voiceover business, even better! You probably already have a growing portfolio and pool of skills to draw back on. Business casual, serious, ominous, fun, easygoing \u2014 there\u2019s a whole bag of tricks to choose from!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But, the audiobook realm has some particularities you\u2019d be better off knowing before jumping in. Diving into the unknown unprepared can be fun, but I\u2019d rather you did your best work right outta the gate. I\u2019ll even let you in on some personal experiences I had while learning how to be an audiobook narrator.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can thank me later! For now, just put on your learning glasses, fire up the coffeemaker, and come along!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">But if you prefer to watch a video instead, click here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"How To Become An Audiobook Narrator Easy Steps\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vtogDSeJyK8?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>This post was updated on March 2021<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Audio what, now? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Boy, you\u2019ve probably been living under a rock! Are you still reading those old, dusty tomes you found in that creaky library upstairs? It\u2019s not like I blame you, actually. Books have a certain old-time allure, an immersion like no other medium. A dog-eared tome with its evocative, worn smell and yellowed-out pages; summer afternoons quietly reading on the porch, no-one in sight; a whole world in ink and paper. Not even e-readers like the Amazon Kindle can live up to that experience, convenient as they are.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But, then, the demands of a world with constant multitasking \u2014 even with the pandemic \u2014 changed our cultural landscape. Enter the audiobook.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Audiobooks <\/strong>are recordings of books read aloud. They are, in essence, a form of <a href=\"https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\/blog\/why-audio-narration-will-boost-your-projects\/\">audio narration<\/a>. The voice pro receives the book and reads it word-for-word, conveying emotion and nuance as if reading from a script. Some audiobooks entail affecting the voice of an <em>omniscient narrator<\/em> throughout, even when reading statements and dialogue by characters. Others require the voice of one character throughout, maintaining their narrative perspective.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some, though, necessitates an even more involved approach, bridging the voice between narration and voice acting. This is when voice pros need to voice different characters. Whilst they don\u2019t really have to be chameleons, there needs to be enough nuance and detail to tell characters apart.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Who uses audiobooks anyway?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em>Well, everyone! People have been trying to make audiobooks happen since the first recordings, but the medium didn\u2019t come into its own until the 70s. With the advent of the cassette, people could finally start channeling the true power of the audiobook.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Content was no longer kept stationary, or limited to the times people could sit down and read a book. They could try learning or following a story during commutes to work, for example. They could lie in bed with their eyes closed trying to picture the characters and landscapes in a story.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In today\u2019s omnipresent digital milieu, we\u2019re surrounded by computerized devices. Our phones, laptops, TVs, and smart devices are de-facto multimedia centers. Everything is fighting for our attention at once. When faced with the prospect of sitting down for a minute, away from our busy lives, it\u2019s not that we <em>don\u2019t want to<\/em>. Sometimes we just can\u2019t!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This article on Inc.com explains why Millennials (among others) are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/john-boitnott\/8-reasons-millennials-are-learning-through-audiobooks.html\">choosing to listen to audiobooks while multitasking<\/a>. The main reasons given are:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>The ubiquity of digital formats<\/li>\n<li>Doing things on their own terms<\/li>\n<li>Audiobooks can be fit into flexible schedules.<\/li>\n<li>The fact that they can be \u201ccarried\u201d anywhere.<\/li>\n<li>Improved information retention. More on this later.<\/li>\n<li>They can be listened to (and absorbed) at higher speeds.<\/li>\n<li>Some books work even better as audiobooks, like biographies and stories.<\/li>\n<li>They provide a more compelling sensory experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3097\" src=\"https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/how-to-become-an-audiobook-narrator_JS_2-1024x341.jpg\" alt=\"audiobook-narrator-how-to-become-a-voice-actor-for-books-book-with-voice-overs\" width=\"640\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/how-to-become-an-audiobook-narrator_JS_2-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/how-to-become-an-audiobook-narrator_JS_2-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/how-to-become-an-audiobook-narrator_JS_2-768x256.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And that\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg! No wonder so many want to learn how to become an audiobook narrator! It\u2019s even been shown that listening to audiobooks is not \u201ccheating\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">What?!<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Right. Time to diffuse a common misconception. According to the University of Virginia psychologist Daniel Willingham, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danielwillingham.com\/daniel-willingham-science-and-education-blog\/is-listening-to-an-audio-book-cheating\">reading and listening comprehension are related<\/a>. This is why you can learn just fine while listening to an audiobook. You\u2019re not leaving anything out, nor compromising your information intake. The decoding process for syntax and meaning works in much the same ways.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How to become an audiobook narrator \u2013 Getting started <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>This may seem like a no-brainer, but if you\u2019re not a voice pro, you\u2019re going to need to become one<\/strong>. The good thing is that most of the rules for doing so are universal. That means, first of all, choosing the adequate tools. <a href=\"https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\/blog\/the-most-important-voice-over-tool-the-microphone\/\">Our guide on mics<\/a> is probably going to come in handy; the TL;DR version, if you\u2019re looking to get set up quickly, is as follows:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You\u2019re going to need to choose between condenser and dynamic microphones. The first is more apt at picking subtler sounds, voices, and working in the studio; the latter is great for powerful, booming voices and loud sounds, which makes them ideal for live venues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You also need to pay attention to the <em>type <\/em>of mic you\u2019re purchasing. Always go with a vocal mic. Always. I generally recommend aspiring narrators to go with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluedesigns.com\/products\/yeti\/\">Blue Yeti USB<\/a>. It sounds great, it\u2019s affordable, it\u2019s easy to set up, and widely used. Get a pop filter (it\u2019ll save you a lot of trouble, trust me), a laptop, some headphones, and you\u2019re almost there!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My advice is: don\u2019t go through a lot of hassle. Find what works, set up, move on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And try to set up well, by the way! Have a dedicated room for performing, and get it soundproofed. Perform with minimal outside noise and get acquainted with <a href=\"https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\/blog\/voice-over-software-top-6-choices-on-the-market-today\/\">recording software<\/a> \u2014 don\u2019t incur the wrath of the audio gods!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Practice!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Maybe you\u2019ve heard people singing praises about your voice ever since you hit puberty. Sure, inasmuch as that is a vital part of the voice-over trade, that\u2019s great. But if you want to learn how to become an audiobook narrator, that\u2019s just like having four wheels, but no car. You\u2019re going to need to cultivate a more diverse skillset.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>First<\/strong>, get acquainted with proper breathing. Try the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OwQbwmRuXwg\">techniques in this video<\/a>. It\u2019s vital that you learn the basics of diaphragmatic breathing instead of the \u201chigh\u201d chest breathing we\u2019re used to. It won\u2019t just make your voice prettier and make you exert yourself less, it doubles as a natural anxiolytic! That\u2019s a free wellness tip for you!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Read<\/strong>. Read using the above techniques until you can keep going for a long time without wearing out your voice. Try to make it sound committed but natural. Maintain a proper focus and cadence throughout. It\u2019s been estimated that the <a href=\"https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\/blog\/voiceover-words-per-minute-choosing-the-ideal-information-rate\/\">ideal information rate is around 75-90 words per minute.<\/a> Try not to exceed that, nor go below. You don\u2019t want to sound like you\u2019re over-caffeinated, or just out of bed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Try to familiarize yourself with the terminology of what you\u2019re reading. Everything needs to sound effortless like it\u2019s not the first time you\u2019re gazing upon these pages. Character names, weird words, strange passages \u2014 it all needs to flow with the confidence of a seasoned pro.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And it\u2019s not just about the tone, either. Many clients are going to want you to at least affect different character\u2019s voices. Yeah, you don\u2019t have to be Mel Blanc to do audiobooks. But it\u2019s expected to at least be able to give some nuance to the different personalities and styles. People have <em>just <\/em>your voice to go on!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moving on<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Feeling confident in your abilities is not all you need to learn how to become an audiobook narrator. I would advise that you record yourself and listen to your performances. Send them to others, expecting constructive critiques. Find someone more established than you to mentor you and give you tips on your cadence, rhythm, accent, and performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Try to work within frameworks that are possible for you. There\u2019ll be time to try on weirder and more difficult assignments, but color within the lines at first. If anything, save yourself those late nights where you feel like you\u2019re in over your head. If you feel like you need to take vocal or acting lessons, they can\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once you\u2019ve got some practice time under your belt and have gotten good reviews, it\u2019s time to test your mettle!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3094\" src=\"https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/how-to-become-an-audiobook-narrator_JS_3-1024x341.jpg\" alt=\"audiobook-narrator-voice-actors-reading-narrating-books\" width=\"640\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/how-to-become-an-audiobook-narrator_JS_3-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/how-to-become-an-audiobook-narrator_JS_3-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/how-to-become-an-audiobook-narrator_JS_3-768x256.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The best place to work as an audiobook narrator<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is where it all comes to a head. Fortunately, the audiobook industry is teeming with work opportunities right now. It goes without saying that I recommend you start out the same way as everybody: as a freelancer. If you ever get hired by an agency or an on-demand platform, great. But I recommend you work your way up and get decent reviews first. Build your portfolio!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Of course, when you&#8217;ve established yourself and are ready for the prime-time, I&#8217;d recommend Bunny Studio over everyone else. We&#8217;ve already built a second-to-none roster of over 100,000 experienced voice artists and growing.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bunnystudio.com\/talents\/select_category\/?p=mar-acq-con-CTAintext&amp;utm_campaign=ctaintext\">If you&#8217;re looking to join our ranks and get plenty of high-quality work, sign up here!\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other Platforms<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Freelancing platforms like Upwork, PeoplePerHour, Workana, and Fiverr are all the rage now. I\u2019ve also taken the liberty of organizing them in my personal order of preference; for what it\u2019s worth, I think you\u2019ll generally find better-organized, better-paying work on Upwork. Just type \u201caudiobook\u201d in the job search bar and marvel!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You\u2019ll need samples to get started. No one\u2019s going to hire you if you\u2019ve got <em>nada <\/em>to show. If they do, you bet it\u2019ll be for projects with dirt-cheap rates that won\u2019t necessarily grow your skills. If somebody pays too low, that means that they generally don\u2019t know how to direct, nor what quality looks like. You may end up with <em>completed <\/em>work, but not one you can proudly display.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once you\u2019ve cut your teeth, you may be ready to move on to more specialized marketplaces like ACX.com, where they specialize in audiobooks and ebooks. <strong>Then, when you&#8217;ve accrued experience, it&#8217;s on to specialized work in places like Bunny Studio.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Remember: start out slow. Build up. Do work that\u2019s within your bounds and you\u2019re confident in. Try to work with knowledgeable clients. Get second opinions. Get coached. When learning how to become an audiobook narrator, slow and steady wins the race!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A few closing remarks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All right, I\u2019ve laid out the basics for you. Learning how to become an audiobook narrator is a career move with high chances of success. If you\u2019ve got the goods (a good voice), have purchased the goods (gear) and deliver the goods (quality), you cannot fail. It\u2019s as easy as providing good, diligent work that\u2019s well-recorded and produced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sure, yeah, not everyone\u2019s perfect, and you may run into troublesome spots and bad clients once in a while. But the perfect is often the enemy of the good. Aim to produce great-quality work, and forget the rest!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You\u2019ll be glad you took the plunge, trust me.
