It’s the one I use to narrate all my stuff, including audiobooks for big publishers like Audible, Findaway and for clients on ACX.
It has an amazing sound, amazing portability, a headphone jack, and it also plugs in nicely via the Apple Camera Adapter to your iPad, should a Mac or PC not be around.
And it’s really inexpensive – usually around $100-$150, depending on how Amazon is feeling that day.
But is it possible for it to be even less expensive? Like, just $60??
So, I got a message the other day from someone, looking for voice over support, on Pinterest.
Yep. Pinterest.
I guess that’s just what they happened to have open on their phone at the time they decided to contact me. And I gotta be honest…I didn’t even know Pinterest *had* a messaging system.
I would drive myself crazy following all the channels that I have created on social media for messages. For me, I’ve decided there’s only one channel I want to conduct important business on.
This is not an easy business to be in, for a number of reasons: pure randomness when it comes to auditioning and booking jobs, a constantly shifting landscape of opportunity and application of our skills, and something even bigger…
…facing the bad news, the failures, the mistakes and the frustrations, and doing so with an eye toward improvement and future success.
There’s only one safe way to do that. If you don’t do this for yourself, you’re in for more heartache than anyone should be made to suffer.
And if you do this for yourself, you can freely go about being a more effective master/mistress of your own journey.
Here’s what that one thing is that you need to create.
Just got an unsubscribe from someone who left me a note on the way out the door. “Great! Unsubscribed! That’s what you want, isn’t it? Serves you right!”
I’m not sure if that subscriber knew just how accurate her statement was.
This has been a year of the one-a-day video challenge for me. And it’s been rewarding, valuable and inspiring…for me.
What about for you?
If you’ve watched one or more of these videos, I’d love to take the temperature of the room, and find out what you’ve gotten out of these, and what you’d like to see more of (or less of).
Would you care to share?

Books are written for the eye. And some of the things you read and see on paper don’t make sense when you’re listening.
Like “the photo below…” or “like the drawing on page 73…” or “Look at the chart above…”
But…did you know that if an audiobook’s meaning would be a little more clear to the listener if they could see the photo, the drawing or the chart, you can create what Audible calls a “related PDF” (it used to be called a “companion PDF”) that listeners can download right along with the audiobook itself?
Yep.
Here’s how to find and download that PDF. (Details below the video.)

The button to download the related PDF (for any audiobook that has one) is displayed in the entry for the book in your Library on Audible. Log in at Audible.com, and go here (or just drop down the Library menu to My Books):
