Audible's Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX) is the first online platform that connects rights holders with established producers to enable any professionally published book to become an audiobook. Our RUclips channel is an educational resource for new and veteran creators looking to take their audiobook production to the next level with tailored tips and techniques on audiobook recording, narration, publishing, and marketing.
Allyship in Audio
ACX was founded on the mission of democratizing audiobook publishing for all, and the belief that every story deserves the chance to be heard. Even in an industry like independent audiobook publishing, where the focus is on vocal performance and creating your own success, the playing field isn’t always even. Unconscious and implicit bias can impact a creator’s career journey and opportunities for success.
In this panel, five creators from a variety of backgrounds share their experiences with effective and ineffective allyship.
We’re joined by:
• Tyrrell Harrell & Jocqueline Protho, two industry professionals with experience leading discussions on bias in the audiobook industry
• Eboni Flower...

Does having a male narrator to narrate your book as a female have an adverse effect to an audiobook?
On July 14, 2024 I signed up for an expedited review with the Audio Book Reviewer (Paul Stokes' company), paid them $35 and they responded that they'd get back to me shortly. Several weeks later I still had not heard from them. I wrote them an email and nothing. Has anyone had a similar experience?
Where can I find that mic system?
this video was very informative, and appreciated.
Where are the links?
this is so amazing. she's a natural
One thing I haven't been able to resolve. I would like to hear myself in my cans, but then I get a slight echo. In a normal recording I'd hit mute playback, but then I can't hear the preroll audio. Audacity sorts this out brilliantly, but Audacity is a toy compared to ProTools. Any ideas how to get around this problem?
Scott is wonderful...makes average books great
The Shadow Knows was definitely something I can relate to and recall being very intrigued by.
This was very informative and exactly what I needed to know. Thank you for sharing this information.
Scott is my absolute favorite. My favorite performance of his is definitely Jon Krakauer’s “Under the Banner of Heaven”
my space sounds boxy..... HELP PLEASE
how do you learn adobe audition lol
I didn't know about this gentleman until about 3 years ago And I'm so grateful that I found his books because he is my favorite narrator he brings the character and the storyline to life Not everyone can do that he has a gift and a wonderful voice I want to say thank you to his beautiful wife for sharing him with the world because there have been many times I have gone to bed with this man's voice in my ears when I go to sleep So thank you Mrs Pierce for sharing your husband with the world
Nice audio😅
Sarah has a very nice, sultry, lovely voice.
Wow, this is old? Is there anything new to promote your new audiobook on ACX? Thanks in adavnce.
This is great. I just started with ACX. Submitted a few auditions.
Ironically, this recording sounds pretty bad
Hilarious that every ACX tutorial has trash audio quality. If it's not over blown, one mic is hot and the other is too soft, or the overall gain is so low that all volume and speaker controls have to be maxed to hear it properly.
It seems like a difficult line of work but perhaps over time it becomes more second nature.
Is it just me or does anyone else feel that Sarah's amazing voice is more amazing when she talks normally than the slightly breathy voice she uses for narration?
Just came by to say I'm listening to Frank Herbert's "The White Plague," and Scott Brick is cloying me to death. He's in love with himself and the 'skillful cadential and tonal variation' is unrelated to the content, results in mind numbing repetition, repetition, repetition.
The audio on this is horrendous! Why?
Amazing 👌🙏 one of my favourite 2 narrators, I cant read in silence, put music on I turn into some sort of lyrical genius. Been doing live Mc madness for years, jut growing my confidence helping artists get vocals on there tracks, a while back i started writing and narrating a story of my own but didn't have a clue about pause/spacing reading speed. This really makes me wanna have another go 🙏 thank you sir
We have a Recording Studio......we are interested to do some recording work for our STUDIO as an payment basic...
her voice is like butter... I feel myself in the story.
I have listened to every one of Jack Olsen’s books that Kevin Pierce has narrated and decided to finally google the face behind the voice. What an incredible narrator, calm, expressive… just brilliant!
It's kind of odd that for a video about Audio book narration the acoustics of the audience speakers are a bit off.
Thank you
Terrific stuff. Such gifted audio book narrators. I wish all the names of the people who read excerpts were listed, though. Thanks a heap.
I love true crime audiobooks. If there’s two books I want and Kevin Pierce narrates one of them, that’s the one I’m choosing. He’s the best.
I use Adobe auditions.
❤
As the author - narrating my own book - may I take the liberties to stray a little from the typed content? If the content is referencing a photo in the paper book - how is that handled in the audio version?
what is the address to use to submit books, either to Paul or to the other lady?
For a gold medal example of how to differentiate voices, listen to John LeCarre's The Honourable Schoolboy, narrated by Michael Jayston. I lost track of how many characters there are, and he gives each of them a distinctive voice.
So much good information here! Thanks for this.
man I know this video is old, he is talking about walkmans. Might as well be talking about 8track tapes
Thank you so much .. those are some really good tips ..
Very informative, thanks!
Good information!
SInce this video was produced, Pro Tools has had a number of updates with several improvements. There is also now a free version, Pro Tools Intro (NOT Pro Tools First!) that includes all the features narrators need.
How do I sign up
I'm so glad I looked up Kevin Pierce. Now I have a face to go with that wonderful voice. I've listened to you for many years. I pick my books on whether it's Kevin narrating. He makes the listening of books a very enjoyable experience for me. And I've been to many places listening to his voice. Thanks for the countless hours of enjoyable time listening to your narration. It's an absolute joy. Right now im listening to The Man with the Candy. 😊
6:45 a master at work
She's good.
Scott Brick is awesome!
Stefan Rudnicki is my favorite narrator.
