Re: Reasonable compensation on ACX
HA! Absolutely true evaluation and decision. And you don't factor in the inevitable problems and needed fixes that will arise as you upload. And there WILL be problems. At least you know they like your reading style and voice, that's a plus. :D Thanks for the affirmation, Phil! They just came back ...

Re: Reasonable compensation on ACX
I just received an offer to narrate a 324 page book for $200. For the following reasons, I declined: A sample read of just one page took me 27 minutes total narrating and editing time, producing a 3.5 minute file. The editing includes overall noise reduction, masking out any breaths too loud to sou...

Re: To Breathe or Not To Breathe
While all breaths edited out is disconcerting for the listener, it is possible to change one's physical breathing technique to make it less prominent. I found a very old youtube video on this which I can't find again but it was basically asking you to practise taking as deep a breath as possible as...

Re: To Breathe or Not To Breathe
Here's another discussion about breaths if you'd like to see more points of view on the subject: https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?t=94427 My personal take is, unless it's louder than the actual speech, just leave it be. It's natural to breathe. As for breathing techniques, when you're sitti...

Re: To Breathe or Not To Breathe

To Breathe or Not To Breathe
Hello all, To breathe or not to breathe. I am perplexed and need some direction. What is the accepted rule for narrators? Or is it the preference of the author for which you are narrating? From some I hear and read, "don't have any breathing sounds in your final submission," which means ho...

Re: Introducing myself
Hello everyone, John Owen here. Audiobook listening is pretty much all I do now to read books and I'm very interested in learning how to narrate them, perhaps for ACX someday. I figured this would be a great place to start. Thanks for all the support I've received so far with the submissions I've p...
