Your book deserves to be heard, and making a compelling professional audiobook is
more doable than you might think. Voice artist and author Brenna Humphreys, who has
been performing voiceover since her teens and brings both an NYU BFA in Acting and
an MFA in Writing to the craft, walks you through the entire process. We’ll cover
how to set up a home studio, script preparation, recording basics, and ways to make
characters come alive in the booth. Whether you plan to narrate your own book or work
with a professional narrator, you’ll leave with a solid understanding of the process
and practical tips to make it a whole lot easier.
What makes a good story? It goes beyond a simple interview with a guest. Just like
building a character in a book, research, deep dives and questions that showcase and
highlight the vulnerability of the guest and host alike, will keep audiences coming
back for more. Join author, actor, and podcaster Jaime Parker Stickle for this informative
and interactive session.
Learn how to broaden your approach beyond writing for the traditional market to also

of each path and how to juggle all three so that you really can have it all as well
as build writing credits, snag an agent, and be your own boss. Plus, you'll get a
digital handout to help you dive into work-for-hire.
