Audiobook Acting

Audiobook Acting: A Masterclass in the Art and the Business is the roadmap to compelling audiobook storytelling. Written as if you are in a personal coaching session with Taro Meyer, each chapter focuses on a single topic and offers illuminating stories and workouts that allow you to practice and progress at your own pace. New actors will learn to handle any type of book -- as well as how-to produce a demo, make submissions, and access industry resources -- and experienced professionals will learn new techniques. Master powerful techniques that will enable you to: Strengthen your voice through proper breathing and vocal placement; Develop a tone and point of view for each book; Fuse your interpretation with the author's; Create evocative imagery; Develop identifiable, vibrant characters.

"After working with Taro for over 20 years on a variety of projects I have come to know all of the talents Taro has as an audiobook producer. She brings a unique and rare perspective to every project. Taro works with talent to draw out and perfect the best performancenot just the best read. . . . There are few producers who work in audiobooks who look at a project from the actors point of view. But whether it is an audiobook project, a music project, or writing, Taro brings a wealth of acting and producing knowledge and experience.
