Kyle The Coyote Audio Book is Here! Other News
The Kyle the Coyote: Lost in the Desert Audio book released this week. Its currently on Amazon, Audible, and I-tunes. There are about 40 more sites to follow.
Check out the above mentioned sites and there is a free 1 minute sample.
Speaking of free, if you order the Special Edition hardcover book from KyleTheCoyote.com we will send you a QR code to down load the audio book for free.
The production of the audio book was a lot of fun. You always hear actors say that but its the truth.
Some people have asked me why I didn't get someone else to read it. I wrote it. I know what its about and I've been doing voice over work as part of the Screen Actors Guild since 2006.
Another thing I am not sure anyone could do was Kyle's voice. Maybe it doesn't mean anything to anyone else but I wanted it to be a very specific way and we for sure got it.
The story behind the goofy Kyle the Coyote voice dates back to my college days and my loveable cat Cali. She sometimes was bad and sometimes mean but always wanted love. After a while I started speaking as her. I would make her voice sound like a bad little kid. You have heard that bad little kid in the grocery store telling his mom, "I want McDonalds." I think I mastered that voice which was Cali's to begin with.
I figure Kyle maybe a little bit more raspy cause he is a coyote and its dry out there in the desert.
So there you go, that's where the voice came from.
Another fun part was finding the music. I specifically searched for music that kind of feels like the Sonic the Hedgehog theme but is also whimsical and a bit mischievous.
Cherrae L. Stuart filled in the rest of the blanks on the music and sound design. She did a great job mixing it, just like she did on the layout of the book. It was a huge help.
These children's books are a a mini film production. Writing, Distribution, art direction, audio mixing, music, editing, but its of a different sort.
If its ever something you thought about doing I would encourage you to check into it. There is a ton of info on YouTube about how to write a children's book and even how to get it distributed. It could via a publisher or on your own. Its a little bit different than selling a feature film because with films it really requires agents and distributors.
Check in with the GoodReads Blog post as we will be announcing some schools we will debuting Kyle the Coyote in for the 2022-2023 school year.
