"I second that recommendation about the new audiobook site -- it's called Audiobook Community, and anyone can join, listeners, narrators, publishers. It's really a good site and has become a way to keep networking when we're not at the conferences."
"Jonah: thanks for that tip! Gonna try it! Alexis: this is beyond my expertise and, I think, beyond the bounds of what you could get from a forum. Your EQ in different ranges would depend the individual voice (and the room, and the mic, and . . . and…"
"P.S. I love this discussion -- I am learning a lot from everyone else's responses -- keep 'em coming!"
"Let's see -- lots to answer! To minimize mouth noise, I use lip balm and sip on unsweetened black tea. The spray bottle helps, too. I'll try green apples, Xe! I also use a windscreen on my mic and a pop filter. My mic is above me and tilted slightly…"
"I looked up some reviews and it does look good. I'll put it on my wish-list. I'm okay, actually, with pops -- it's the other mouth noises I'd like to prevent on the front end -- the little smacks and things. These show up so much, as you know, in…"
"Okay, I'm intrigued, Joe. Hadn't heard of this Stedman ProScreen filter. Is it helpful for mouth noises (tongue clicks, etc.) or just plosive-type pops?"
"I agree, Joe; I do enjoy working on my own and (to my surprise) am becoming kind of a Pro Tools junkie! Grover Gardener said at one of the sessions at APAC this week that one reason he sometimes prefers to record in his own studio is that he is…"
"I just got back from APAC / BEA in New York. Lots of great information, but man, is this industry changing fast. Because I'm based in Oregon, I have had to have my own studio for awhile now to do audiobook narrations. One thing I learned at the…"
"Here are a couple of the recent articles: http://www.voiceoverxtra.com/article.htm?id=0jy4hlovhttp://www.voic...
The only webinar I knew of recently was Bettye Zoller's on March 1."
The only webinar I knew of recently was Bettye Zoller's on March 1."
"Oh, man, that's a big question. He might start by looking at a few recent articles on audiobooks that appeared on VoiceOverExtra. It's a big learning curve. Maybe if he has specific questions, yo could post them here . . . over to you, Bettye!! :) :)"
"Wow, Debbe, I just read the comment you made with your friend request. Thanks for those kind words. I love your website -- it's got an eloquent simplicity, a concept I'm working to achieve in my current remodel. (My site has taken on the appearance…"
"P.S. Expect to hear from me for a consult sometime!"
"Bettye, thanks so much for that viewpoint on the future of paper books AND high-quality audiobooks. I totally agree, but there are so many opposite opinions out there these days (people mesmerized, I think, by the new technologies) that was…"
"Oh, I'm definitely going to APAC and BEA -- Bettye is absolutely right about it being the most valuable thing you can do. I also just went to the PLA (Public Library Association conference), mostly because it was held near me this year. Libraries…"
"Check out the other VU group, "Ask a Casting Director." In several of the most recent posts, she discusses this and has some interesting insights, like how too much water may actually be counter-productive. . . ."
"Hey, just found you in VU groups, and I'm happy for the chance to ask this question: any recommendations for minimizing those clicks that the base of the tongue makes when you open your mouth? I don't have a big problem with them, but I have tried…"
