Input needed! Audiobook listeners! And you, too!

[rolanni]

Have you always wanted to ask an audiobook narrator a question?  Curious about details of their work, the background that prepared them to be narrators, the favorite ice cream flavor of audiobook narrators?  Now is your chance!

If you have a general question about the process, or a specific question for a specific narrator, I'd love it if you would post your question(s) here.  Steve and I will doing special interviews with each of the narrators of the Liaden books and we'll try to incorporate as many of your questions as we can.

Small print:  Courteous questions only, of course; we cannot promise that we will use your question, particularly, or even all the questions posted.  Thank you for your understanding and your interest.

Once again, the narrators are!

Different voices for different characters

[setauuta.livejournal.com]

So cool! I'm an audiobook junkie, so I appreciate you giving me the chance to ask something I've always wanted to know. I've noticed that most narrators use a different voice when reading dialog by different characters, and I always wondered how the narrator keeps the different voices straight, especially when there are a bunch of different characters? Do they keep some sort of notes, or do sort of a baseline recording of what each character sounds like so they can refer back to it?

Thanks again!
