Authenticity
The most important part of narrating audiobooks is being yourself.  Your voice and your interpretation of a story won't sound like anyone else--and that's your biggest asset!  We'll make sure you are bringing yourself to your reads and allowing you to become a part of the story.

Comprehension
Understanding what you're talking about and passing on the information in the best way possible is the only way a listener can understand what's happening in a story.  We'll talk about melody, emphasis, accepting gifts from the author, and how to really ask questions.

Emotional Honesty
The emotional content of a story is what people connect to and why they want to listen for upwards of 20 hours.  Knowing how your protagonist feels and what their opinion is should color everything you say.  Making sure we are connected in every moment, whether narrating first or third person, is how we engage with our listener.

Simplicity
Audiobooks are just a person telling their story.  With a focus on subtlety, smallness, and being as real-to-life as possible with execution, we'll create honest, relatable performances.
