In this episode of Dare to Be Great, Dare to Be You prepare to be transported into a world you may not have ever thought possible. The world of you stepping into a recording booth to record your very first Audiobook. This episode is the foundation of why I wanted to do this podcast. To hear from my artistic director and coach the same tips she shared with me when I stepped into the recoding booth for the very first time to record Ten Seconds of Boldness.

This is an intimate conversation about the ins and outs of audiobook narration and truly a full circle moment where this time Kendra gets to be in the booth and I get to be the guide for this show.

Learn why audiobooks can be a powerful storytelling tool and learn why this was a richly rewarding experience for both narrator and Artistic Director.

If you are a non-fiction author, learn why the story is so much more powerful if told in your voice. And for fiction authors, hear a snippet of Kendra being put to task to narrate on the fly.

If we can do it, you can too.

If you are a writer and want a confidence boost or to learn more about creating a plan to create your audiobook or marketing strategy for your books, send me a note. I have written four books including the Ten Seconds of Boldness workbook that can help anyone who suffers from imposter syndrome and wants a someone to help rebuild their self-confidence.
