Recommended

Really got a lot out of this book. definitely recommend. is the narrator a real person or a computerized voice? I got used to it but it was a little strange

Good information, robot AI VO is horrendous

A good book with a lot of valuable information, but I can’t figure out why authors have these terrible narrators that are either robots or AI reading the text. It’s beyond terrible and embarrassing, ruining the entire book. If a human being can’t read it with passion and with decent, real intonation, please just don’t bother. It’s painful to listen to. Find a good human voice, think about what you’re putting out there.

Straight-forward, easy to follow, great ideas

What made the experience of listening to Making It in the Art World the most enjoyable?

Very straight-forward language. Not flowery at all. Easy to understand and incorporate into our life/plan. Logical and inspiring. Great for the go-getter mentality.

Priceless.

Brainard's detailed suggestions and tips for artists are more than inspiring, they are actionable - immediately.
Grab a copy and get busy!

Inspiring book with a lot of great guidelines

What three words best describe Peter Drew’s voice?

The narrator's voice was pleasant, but had a choppy cadence and could be hard to follow a times,

Great lessons

I plan on taking action on a lot of the methods here. This book is very enlightening.

Going the extra mile

Great way to set yourself apart. Great book. Curious where to find papers to print for the workbook portion because I bought the audiobook.

Practical and direct to the point!

I think it was very practical giving directions and not much wondering with wishful thinking like some other books I read. 5 stars from me!
