Okay, I'm going to sound super dramatic here, forgive me. But this is the first time I've actually seen someone else record for an audiobook, and I had no idea other people mess up while reading as often as naturally occurs. I literally started tearing up listening to you use the clicker realizing that I wasn't the only one...I literally thought that most people just read without error. So, I guess, thanks for being yourself and putting out this real life example. :) Also, your voice is stunning.

I have to thank you for your inspiration and selfless advice. After following your clear, concise and accurate advice and uploading my first audition to a title on ACX, I have been booked to narrate my first audiobook. Your advice made the process straightforward and enjoyable. Bless you Angela. You’re an angel.

I'm very slow in my progress. I've chosen ACX as my entry into Voice Acting. I've done about 25 books so far. So, I'm still pretty new. But, I'll tell you that it's a great way for you to figure out your DAW. I work it like a job. I narrate and edit about 8 hours per day. Currently, I get $100-$300 per finished hour. That's not great, but it's okay. You'll go crazy nit picking your fx chain and all of that side of the business. But, you'll find a reasonable solution. During this time, I've also done some other work. I played a White House Intern during President Nixon's administration in a documentary. I played the role of an angry Father in an Anime adventure. I've done the Intro and outro's of a couple of amazing podcasts. One of them was a podcast to help military people transitions to civilian life. I'm very humbled to have been a part of that one. Being a Voice Actor is the best job I've ever had. This is what I was meant to do. I can't wait for the next surprise!

Your voice literally sounds perfect for this part!

hey Angela, I feel fortunate to have stumbled into your KZfaq video. As an English teacher, I have been reading books to kids for decades, and I’m feeling that the time to retire is near but I need to continue making an income. I appreciate how forthcoming you are with your trade secrets and I intend to spend a lot more time on your videos. Thank you very much! Fred.

Thanks for being so candid with your voice over recording, I am a noobie just getting into the scene. It's refreshing to see someone be so candid yet informative amongst their work.

I swear I've heard your voice before on some of the best audiobooks...such a perfect voice!

I’m so glad I stumbled onto your channel! I’ve been prepping quite a bit to get started in this and already I’ve found so much great advice from your vids, thank you :)

You are so generous with you knowledge and time. Your video has been tremendously helpful in every way. Thank you for giving your time to those of us who are just beginning or even thinking about it!

I am SUPER excited about finding this today! Angela, thanks for this video! I created an account on ACX and am excited to get started! I've wanted to do Voice Over's for YEARS and life has had a way of pushing me in so many other directions, so I'm super happy that I stayed up late and found this great information! I have sooo much to learn, but I want to learn it ALL and get started ASAP!

This is such great info! Thanks so much. Perfect walk-through for us all. Very much appreciated

Angela, this was so incredibly helpful! Seeing someone actually do the recording and editing was eye-opening for me. I have a whole list of things to research and learn now! Thank you!!!

I find ACX short on the ABC's and you make it look easy. Thanks so much. Having narrated my own book, I know the work that goes into it. I love the clicker idea to be able to see graphically where your edits need to be! I can really see that speeding up the process. Nice...Thanks again.

Thanks Angela for taking the time to make this video. Very, very helpful and I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of your material. Subbed!

Thank you so much! You are very generous and kind to make these helpful videos!

Thank you for being so transparent. This is very helpful. Thank you so much!

Thank you for taking the time to produce these videos and help out people that aren't in the know.

Angela, thank you for this video. I am new to the VoiceOver process and excited to learn and get started. It is refreshing to watch a down to earth easy to understand process. Thanks again. Blessings.

Thanks, Angela! I was excited to find this video and learn more about auditions. You are warm and easy to listen to and have been a great help and inspiration. Thank you!

This video is a GREAT help in putting the practice process in perspective.

People like you are part of the reason why I am getting into this field. I have yet to discover if I will be primarily a narrator, or do commercials, or games, or what have you, but I appreciate your attitude here. Much success to you!

Very informative, fantastic that you chose to actually let us see you working. I am an ex radio and night club dj and all through my career people have told me that I should be an actor or do voice-overs. I retired twenty years ago and working behind a mic is something I have always missed. Now, most of my children have grown up except one who is still very young, I have decided to try voice-overs. In the last 20 years equipment has changed a lot so I have much to learn, your channel will help me a lot I think, please keep up the good work!

This is very helpful. I appreciate the tips. I'm a newbie at VO. Took 4 classes and here I am haha! I'm a subscriber now. Thank you!

This is wonderful! I am rediscovering my Jersey accent and now auditioning. Thank you so much and looking forward to viewing your other videos.

Thanks for this. I'm just looking at getting into narration, and being able to see you go through these steps behind the scenes was very helpful.

Great video Angela. I have been doing voice overs part-time for some years and want to get into audiobooks. Your demo of how to submit an audition to ACX seems like an excellent way to start out.

Hi Angela. I found your video to be very helpful. I'm considering doing voice over work myself and recently submitted my first audition with ACX. Watching your video makes me realise the newbie errors I have made with that first audtiion 😊 but now having watched your video, I am much better informed. Thanks again for uploading this helpful guide.

SUPER helpful video! Thanks so much sweetie for taking the time to make this! I can see your voice for meditating audio sessions...like wow! So calming, so neutral and inviting! I watched this from beginning to end! Much appreciated, you have a new sub!

Thank you" not only do you know what to do, but you can teach to.😊You are so helpful😎!

Wow!! Why can't every KZfaqr be as informative as you!!! Thank you so much for doing this video! I'm just getting started on ACX and pretty much had nothing much to go on besides a desire...until now. I'm definitely subscribing to your channel!

Very informative. Thank you! Looking into different places to narrate for, and this was extremely helpful.

Angela you have a lovely voice and I appreciate your help with the audition pointers.

♨️ I have been so agitated researching All the items I need to begin plus how to fill out all these criteria & you have totally simplified this for me . Thank you.

This was so helpful, thank you!

That was awesome Angela- thank YOU. With your guidance, got my first sample up on ACX today. You're a star!!! ♥♥♥

Wow! You are so helpful on this subject. I'm just starting to pursue this and just watching this has answered some questions for me. I think I have heard you on some KZfaq meditation-videos before. At least it sounds just like you. I appreciate all your advice. I wish you continued blessings and success with narrating books!

As a beginner VO talent, I really appreciate your video. Your video is very helpful and informative.

Great job. Just getting started, need all the help I can get.

Thank you Angela! This is a great video and you r voice is incredible!

Thank you for helping us voice artists out. Really useful for me to see your process.

You did amazing, im signing up today so i definitely enjoyed watching you go through it

I am really happy I found this video again. I think it's incredibly insightful! I realize I tend to learn a little quicker watching how things are done rather than just reading. It was interesting when you said that you use the clicker to mark your mistakes. However, I do wish you would have slightly went into more detail with that little tidbit. When I heard you say that really quickly although it was just a small thing I got the sense that it was something that would help with the overall process of what your working on. Therefore, increasing your efficiency. So if I'm right then I'd like to know how other then just taking a guess. Especially cuz it seems like one of your own personal methods. You know?

Hi Angela! firstly, I simply can not describe to you, just how helpful your videos are to me. Although I've been singing and performing for 46 years, recording is very new to me. I have done work for local producers, including voice and screen acting. But, they did all the technical work! You, and your video content are a true blessing... Thank you so very much.

Thank you so much for this demo, this is really helpful tip to get me started with audiobooks, I didn't know how I should be recording it, whether 1 go or small paragraphs, and the clicker is a fantastic idea :) wish you all the best

Hello Angela...I would love to have your voice and you of course, as my Audiobook Narrator. Your personality and soft-spoken, example of reading is exactly what I need. Also, thank you so much for sharing, behind the scene aspects producers encounter, as I search, as a new Ebook Author. I will definitely contact your Website. Thanks again!!!

This was very helpful. I love your use of the clicker to help flag errors!

Thank you! I've been a session singer for over 25yrs but spoken word is a new world for me. This is really helpful, thank you.

Smartest video on this subject, that I have seen. This woman is a pro!!!

Thanks so much for your time in helping us audio newbies learn how to swim without feeling overwhelmed! You're so awesome! I've mostly been anxious about what recording software to use; they all seem daunting with a lot of unfamiliar terms, buttons, and mechanics. Adobe Audition looks like a really user-friendly and approachable software, but I'm seeing that it's a monthly subsription, and it feels a bit steep. Can it not be purchased outright once? And, if not, do you know any other user-friendly audio softwares that would be just as great? Thanks again, Angela! Stay as awesome as you are.

This was wildly helpful! I saw some audition scripts that were multiple pages and thought, “I have to read this whole thing to audition?!” 😂 Knowing that a couple minutes or paragraphs takes some of the stress away for a first timer for sure. Thank you!

You are delightful to watch. And VERY GOOD AT VO. Thanks for the lesson!

I got chills! Your voice is so good!

Wow your voice is so soothing and kind of sound like a ai voice. Lol :) so admiring

This was a huge help. I got to see exactly what I needed to see, someone else just going through the process. I just submitted my first audition. I'm gonna keep at it. :) Fingers crossed I can be the right fit for some author's projects. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Thanks HUGE for this. I just started audiobooks last year, signing my first royalty-share before I realized it was basically working for free. But a great noob experience, before signing my first upfront paid book - as you noted. Auditioning most definitely is a learning curve that takes practice to perfect :)

Thank you for sharing this information. Your voice is truly perfect for Meditations.

This was very helpful, thank you! Love your voice! I have just one question (for now) HA! If we choose a book to audition for and then we get chosen for it, does the rights holder give you a digital version of the book to read? How does this work?

Wow, you sounded great. Do you have any tips for SMACKYNESS when speaking or anything that you do specifically.

Thank you for putting this together. As an amateur looking to do this type of work professionally, this was really helpful. Subscribed!

Hi Angela, I'm a new voiceover artist who just signed up on ACX. Thank you so much for this video. You gave a lot of clear and precise information. Thank you again...

Your voice sounds like butter on bread.

Thanks Angela! I'm new to audio narrating and this was so helpful in learning the in's and out's of submitting an audition.

I love your voice, you sound like a real professional...I will give it a try:)

Beautiful, clear and melodious voice.

Thank you so much for being human and not pretending to be perfect❤️❤️❤️ It really helps to know that practice makes perfect.

Holy MOLY WOW, Angela! I hope I can find a sweet gig for you to give back what you’ve given me. This is SO ADHD-friendly, it’s not even funny. You gave every detail I needed, you said it right away, and you were REAL (right down to the chapstick.I hope you don’t lick your lips, that chaps them). I think I’ve heard your voice before ;-) Thank you SO much!

Thank you very much for this video. It was very informative as it answered my exact questions about recording auditions especially leaving headroom.

I loved you and this video, i was searching for ACX advice how to start, it helped me super great way, thank you so much. You are Angela you are an Angel hehe. thank you again for giving much detail explanation.

I just recently signed up on ACX to see what will happen. I love to read and I thought why not give it a try. Thank you Angela for your videos and I will be going through them. This helps. I am far off for getting the equipment you have and I will go from there. I'm glad I stumbled on your videos.

Wooooow your voice is perfect for that meditation book your so good!!!!

I really did get a good feel for functions that particular website and I appreciate that information. thank you and I hope your career continuous positive trajectory!

i worked in radio and Tv for years until my last gig as producer and host went south in 1993. Now I'm a mortician (what a transition!), but I'd like to try getting back behind the mic again. I hope I can try narrating audio books. I love this video! You've shown me how to get my foot in the door, and I'm going to subscribe to your website.

Glad to find your channel a couple of us out here going to try and do ACX recording... wish us luck.. subscribed *
