I've started listening and reviewing audio for the New York Journal Of books along with the regular books, and I'm close to the release of the first audio production on one of my own titles. I love the freedom it gives me to do other things while I listen, and a good narrator brings the story alive in a way paper can't. I'm all for it.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384070533603453713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-14265853915643490792013-06-28T05:39:58.926-07:002013-06-28T05:39:58.926-07:00When we lived in Florida, I was never more than 5 ...When we lived in Florida, I was never more than 5 minutes from anywhere I needed to be. Up here in the mountains, the shortest drive is 15 minutes, but most are longer. I thought I'd try audiobooks for those drives down the mountain, but I haven't yet. I'm very easily distracted when I hear things. I'd be afraid my mind would wander (the way it does when I listen to speakers) and I'd miss chunks of the story. I still may give it a try.

I'm much more visual than auditory and kind of HDAD so my mind wanders when I'm listening to stuff.

I keep thinking I will, but it just may not be in my DNA. I can't even listen to the radio if someone's talking. I also don't spend much time in my car...or sitting still for that matter. :)<br />L.J.

I always find myself doing something else and then I lose focus.<br /><br />Narrators are obviously key to creating as good of a listening experience as possible. I've received two auditions through ACX and neither one of them is quite right.<br /><br />Peg Brantleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906858123466177508noreply@blogger.com
