What if your voice could sell more books than your marketing plan?

This week, audiobook pro Todd Eflin joins me to reveal what happens when authors step behind the mic. Todd is an award-winning narrator, voice actor, and DIY audiobook coach with a clear message: your voice can become a powerful sales tool when you know how to use it.

Together we explore the real story behind self-narration: the nerves, the tech, the performance pressure, and the surprising freedom that comes when you take control of your own audio.

Inside this episode:

• Why audio builds deeper trust than the page
Listeners let you into their daily life. Your voice creates loyalty that silent words cannot match.

• The truth about narrating your own book
Authentic? Yes. Easy? No. Todd explains how to decide if you should grab the mic or hire a pro.

• The hidden hurdles no one warns authors about
Voice fatigue, messy edits, tiny home studios, and the mental chatter that tells you to quit.

• A simple path to voice confidence
Todd’s exercises help you hear your voice without cringing and build a sound that fits your message.

• The marketing edge most authors ignore
Audiobooks open new sales channels. Readers expect them. Skipping audio leaves money on the table.

If you want your book to travel farther, your voice may be the key. Todd shows you how to tap into it and turn narration into one of your strongest assets.
