Love this Book!

This is the book I turn to for practice, warm-ups and copy interpretation clarity. Plus, I really enjoy the spoken word chapter. It's challenging & I love it when I nail them (lol).

Practical and Inspiring

I have had this book in written form for about a year. It was no nice to finally have the audio version, so instead of leafing through pages to find my work out I just dial it up on audio. It is great to practice along with Rodney and his energy and enthusiasm really come through! If you sing or do voice over...you need this audio book!

Its Not As Effective In Audible

The explanations, story and technique are invaluable!
He’s a world renowned voice artist and I was so excited to get the book and start the exercises, but the twisters are too fast? If I had a hard copy, of course it would be easier, but I didn’t buy this book to then have to go on YouTube to get hard copies, or to get my computer out, start ‘stopping’ and
‘starting‘ listening and retyping them? I felt like I was back in the 1970’s. This book doesn’t work on Audible. Get a hard copy.

Rodney Saulsberry gives it up

This book covers audiobooks narration and the audio industry from A-to-Z. Rodney Saulsberry provides chapter after chapter of great exercises, insights and information with this book. He is also the narrator voice that you have heard many many times. Rodney obviously has a great deal of experience in this field and shares it openly and graciously in this excellent work.  I am very happy to have picked it up. I can tell it will be very useful.
