In reading (in my opinion) the reader forms his/her own opinions/scenarios. With an audio book (again, in my opinion) is, like you said, a movie. Much more of the author's intent comes across in audio. Thanks so much for the comment and for dropping by...Terry Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300768661407633721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069939016393408695.post-70461595109898172432016-05-04T10:35:56.202-07:002016-05-04T10:35:56.202-07:00I guess a narrator can make or break a book.

I never thought of North vs South or more localised differences that might cause issues. I guess in a way I feel like an audiobook, like a film, to me is a different version of a book. It puts emphasis on things you might not emphasise while reading. I love audiobooks but they definitely feel different to reading in your head for sure...Mia Haysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041441666482084762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069939016393408695.post-75137809016066611452016-04-07T15:46:00.053-07:002016-04-07T15:46:00.053-07:00Publishers do the choosing of almost everything.

Geez, I'm so happy your were pleased with the outcome. To me, there is no better feeling than to have someone "get" the MC, whether a reader or narrator...<br />Thanks for the comment and I will stop by again.

My first experience with one made my heart ache because it was a book by an author I really enjoyed reading. The voice actor only made me laugh at the wrong places. Horrid. <br /><br />My next experience was one of my own short stories in an anthology (Beware of the White Rabbit). When the editor turned that book into an audio experience I was petrified. But when I heard my contribution I was totally relieved, in fact, touched. Someone "got" my MC. It's very important to have the right voice to read the story.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping in to say hi at The Write Game. I love new visitors.

You make a good point about enunciation. It doesn't have to be perfect. The voice is what is important and I fully agree.Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.com
