Description
How do you bring a character’s voice to life in a way that is authentic? How does one get started in audio book narration? In this episode, we learn about the art of voice-acting and audio-book narration from two very different voices in the industry. John Lee, the brilliant narrator of the audio book version of T. A. Barron’s GIANT: The Unlikely Origins of Shim, as well as hundreds of other books, shares with us how he put his thumb in the air and hitch-hiked around the universe before becoming a voice actor. Carolyn Hunter, our very own co-host, shares with us her unique journey as a voice artist. We discover how John landed on the sparkling voice of Shim and he even treats us to a live performance. T. A., Carolyn, and John will make you want to go home and read out loud to yourself, your kids, your loved ones. Find what voices just appear! We hope you tune in. As Shim would say… Certainly, definitely, absolutely! About John Lee: John Lee has read hundreds of audio books of every conceivable genre.
