Audiobook Newbie

So, I've having The Moreva of Astoreth produced as an audiobook. Never done this before, and I'd no idea it'd be this much work. Granted, I'm not doing the heavy lifting. Still, it's more than I thought it would be.

Have edited 15 chapters, so we're halfway there. It's really different hearing your words through your ears rather than in your mind. Per instructions, I don't read the text as the recording moves along, just sit back and listen. And it's amazing what you pick up. Mispronounced words, of course. Then there's the missing words, nothing major, but your ear really picks them up. The pauses, too--sometimes they're too long, and it doesn't sound natural, like a long pause between "me, too."

I'm very pleased with the narrator. Her voice is rich, and she has an amazing range. The male lead has a gravelly, baritone voice. Obviously, her voice doesn't go that deep, but it's like a gravelly tenor. The female lead is a mezzo soprano and then there's everything in between. You can easily tell which characters are speaking.

Really looking forward to hearing the finished product!
