Synopsis:
Join award winning audiobook narrator, Megan Tusing, for an introductory class to the world of audiobooks. The class will begin with a brief lecture where Megan will share her insights about both the business and performance side of the audiobook industry. Following the lecture a few pre-determined readers will have an opportunity to perform a section of self-selected text and receive feedback. The class will wrap up with a Q&A addressing any audiobook related questions from both readers and auditors alike.
NOTE ABOUT READERS : This class will have a very limited number of seats for readers before it is marked 'full' and the waitlist is opened. If you wish to audit the class (i.e. listen and watch only without the opportunity to read), please add your name to the waitlist. All members on the waitlist will be considered seated as auditors. If you do not wish to attend as an auditor, please refrain from putting your name on the waitlist. Readers will be confirmed and sent instructions via email a few days prior to class.
Requirements:
Readers must provide a piece of text from a published book of any genre to work on during class. The selection should be no more than 2 minutes in length. It is not required but recommended that the selection include narration and dialogue if it is fiction. This is a virtual class held over Zoom. Please join the session from a quiet place with a stable internet connection. All participants (both readers and auditors) are required to remain for the duration of the session.
