I suppose after thinking about it I should have know, considering their taking the book, and unlike the movie, basically transcribing it. But they still have to do it in a way which is entertaining and flows well with the written book. Very interesting to see a little of the behind-the-scenes!Elisquaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16692575346649160572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353712903584516197.post-80283434583402427022012-06-06T22:45:44.250-05:002012-06-06T22:45:44.250-05:00I'm torn about the background noise/music on a...I'm torn about the background noise/music on audiobooks. Sometimes, it works really well, but there are other occasions where it is quite distracting. That being said, I like when music signals the end of a chapter or section of a book. I know it's usually a good stopping point. :-)Kayla Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02063162666132410730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353712903584516197.post-71909227229761964252012-06-06T08:18:11.443-05:002012-06-06T08:18:11.443-05:00I don't think I really learned anything except...I don't think I really learned anything except that some have sound effects and background music.

It's amazing how much talent narrators have (and as I've discovered, I enjoy some narrators much more than others). I've also wondered how they tackle challenges like visual images in a printed book to the audiobook format.

They're great for listening to when doing housework or cooking ... that way I can get things accomplished AND read. <br /><br />I'm curious how much TIME goes into making an audiobook ... from the interview, it sounds like a lot, but how much recording time does it take, I wonder? Like the interview says, a narrator is so much more than a good voice -- the narrator has to be SO familiar with the book! It's not like they can just sit down and read. The first book I listened to, An Abundance of Katherines by John Green, had a great narrator and I was impressed by all the voices he could do. It would be an interesting process to watch! <br /><br />Thanks for the giveaway!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353712903584516197.post-85767939412350368222012-06-05T15:53:11.570-05:002012-06-05T15:53:11.570-05:00I didn't realize the readers feedback effected...I didn't realize the readers feedback effected the audio production.
