Quotes:
“You can hear their personality, you can hear their sense of humor, you can hear their trauma and sadness in places where an actor might not necessarily be able to convey that into the mic.” (03:56)
“Well, I think it’s important for every single, every single book that comes out to have an audio version of it. Not, well, granted that it doesn’t have like a ton of graphics and images that the text references, but I feel like you’re just able to cast a wider net, right?” (04:35)
“So for me, because I think it’s super important for me to be present in whatever studio we’re working in, I will find a studio that’s close to the clients that could patch me in via Zoom during the recordings.” (12:16)
