Thank you Mary for sharing this particular aspect of your publishing journey with us, along with Voice Recording Pro, which I plan on utilizing. When I read the first few minutes of your book, the voice in my head didn't do it justice, not like Alex did. I could really tell the difference. Thank you for the opportunity to learn from your valuable experience.

How cool that you also noticed the difference, LG. Alex was amazing to work with. Enjoy the Voice Recording Pro experience! Thanks for commenting this week.

Thank you for this. I just downloaded Voice Record Pro and recorded a few lines of dialogue from my memoir, "In My Father's Tire Tracks." I like how it sounds. I want to research the audiobook process some more, then decide if it is right for me, and whether it is wise to record my own words. Dialogue can be tricky; I want to avoid trying to impersonate or stereotype a character, rather just let the words tell the story, while at the same time inflecting just enough to differentiate between voices. The listener is a collaborator, filling in details in their mind. Less can be more.

Too true, less is indeed more--and I hope it is a fun research project for you, and you might consider trying it, Jack. Thanks for commenting this week!
