Updated Narration Page

This was a little mind-clearing project I did yesterday and today: listing all the books (in series order, categorized by genre) that I’ve narrated–including my own!

It’s funny–I know I’ve narrated more than these, but I don’t know if they’re extant anymore. I could probably go digging for the titles, but if they’re not available anywhere, I’m not sure how useful that would be.

…Also, maybe the authors took them down because they loathed the narration. (If that’s true… just don’t tell me, please!) But here’s the Narration page on my website.

If I ever need another mind-clearing project, I’ll add hot links to all the titles. You can find all of these on Audible, but not in any particular order, so I thought I’d organize that.

Just in case, you know, you’re DYING for the sound of my voice.

I think I’ve grown a lot as a narrator since I started in audiobooks in 2015. I don’t really… want… to listen to myself, even now–I like the sound of my voice, but there comes a point, after a project is done, that there’s no fixing the errors. There’s just moving on.

The bravest narrators I know listen to their own work and give themselves notes. The smartest narrators I know color-code their prep-scripts with voices, and mark the breaths, the rhythm, the peaks and crescendos. But one of my favorite narrators, now passed away, never read the prep script at all before he recorded. He wanted it fresh for his readers–and for himself–as if telling the story for the first time.

So, really, it takes all sorts. And I’m one of them.

And I do so love the work. I never don’t look forward to a recording day.

    You narrated The Gown of Harmonies as well–for which I’m very grateful!

    😘 Hurray! Glad it does show up on Audible; too bad about the inconsistency in your name, though!

    I LOVED that you did this!! SO MANY that I haven’t heard!  I’ll bet I can talk Mima and Rose into listening to one of the cozy mysteries on the way home.  Rose and Marty drove here on Thursday for his golf tournament over the weekend. He’s leaving on Wednesday to drive to Showlow Arizona to spend the night in a cabin and get up the next morning and golf with one of his buddies. So Rose will be driving home with me, Mima and Penny!It’s pretty nice here in San Diego, warm but with a nice breeze and not blisteringly hot!Mima was a trooper on the way out here — Penny was a little rambunctious, but once we put her bed on Mima‘s lap, she stood up on her lap and stared out the front windows… She wouldn’t stay in the back in her bed for longer than 5 minutes,  no matter what I did! And I brought a lot of treats, lol Having lots of fun with baby Isaac and Shoshanna’s girls… Megan is coming tomorrow and we’ll be doing our graduation celebration for her then… Rob and Lydia decided to drive out and join us for this, so we’ll get to see them as wellWe need to set up two phone calls, one catch-up time and one You-Read-To-Me-From-“Harold” time🥰🥰Looks like ReaderCon was good all around!I love you incredibly much!~Sita Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone

      Oh, mama! What a traveling feat for all of you! THAT PENNY! ❤
      Let me know what book you all agree on, and I can buy it on my account, so that you don't have to. Unless it's on sale. 🙂
