My best recommendation would be to get in touch with Pat Fraley. Not only has Pat done thousands of hours of VO work, but he’s also a brilliant, accomplished audiobook narrator and producer. He’s also put together hundreds of demos, so across the board, I think he’s your guy. (And for full disclosure: I occasionally guest-lecture at his demo workshops, but that’s just because I believe in his talent and abilities so much.) You can get more info at Pat’s website, <a href="http://www.patfraley.com" rel="nofollow">www.patfraley.com</a>. Scott asked me to post this for him:

Someone who has worked with audio book talent, so they would know how and what should go into making an excellent audio book demo. I know of some demo producers for commercial use, but audio books is not there expertise. Thanks, Julie Hello Scott, I would love it if you could direct me to

I learned a ton of great info in the last few minutes. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you at WonderCon this past weekend. You can read my thoughts about that experience at my blog, <a href="http://themicguy.com/2009/03/02/another-brick-in-the-wall/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. You were incredibly kind and gracious (especially in light of the fact that I interrupted your lunch), and I appreciated your encouragement more than I can express. Again, thanks!

I've actually done 2 audiobooks for Audible.com (only 1 is currently published) and I really enjoyed the experience. I am definitely going to take your advice and put together a demo in the hopes of booking more audiobook work. Thanks so much for the fabulous advice. Scott,

As a big fan of your work and a vo artist it was amazing to have the real scoop on breaking into the audiobook world. You have inspired me to book the studio time to put together my own audiobook demo. I really appreciate having a road map for how to do it properly.

I've been a fan of yours since listening to you read Mark Kurlansky's "Salt: A World History", and I think it's wonderful that you're branching out into instruction. I look forward to your videos.

This is brilliant! I'm so happy to have discovered your Blog. I'll be back! Cheers and Bless! Stefania P.S. Being here in England, I haven't had the opportunity to study personally with Pat, but I've got his audiobook workbook and CD set and I've learned so much from it.

I hope it results in good Karma - in the "Pay It Forward" tradition. Sometimes this Internet thing still amazes me. Being able to reach out and touch the lives of others, as you have here, is a truly wonderful thing. Best of luck to all of you interested in the field. The audiobook world is vast, and the more effective and capable narrators the better. Good narration coupled with good content can really make an impact on the listener.
