This workshop being held on a Thursday evening will introduce you to the audiobook industry as well as provide in-studio practice and feedback on ways to improve your craft. Audio narration is one of the fastest growing segments for union performers today! Isn’t it worth your time to find out if this avenue is right for you? This program will be taught by working audiobooks professional and SAG-AFTRA member, Sean Pratt.  

Top 10 Things You’ll Learn:

• Why audiobook narration is its own unique style of VO.
• Why your audiobook demo is different from your commercial VO demo.
• The art, effort and attitude of narrating audiobooks.
• The differences between the fiction and nonfiction genres. 
• The basic equipment you’ll need to start practicing your audiobook technique.
• Ideas for creating your narration booth,
• Resources for finding audiobook work,
• The general state of the audiobook industry and where it's headed.
• The answers to your questions during Q&A.
• Plus, there will be materials provided for the participants to take home and review. 

In the second half of the program, a limited number of members will be selected by lottery to work in a VO booth and get direction from Sean. Members who wish to participate in this workshop portion must prepare 1-2 pages from a fiction or nonfiction book of their choosing and be very familiar with the text. Lottery will be held after registration closes and additional instructions will be provided.

Look for a street called “Channel St.” coming off Ala Moana Blvd. 

Turn “Makai” on Channel and then take the FIRST RIGHT after the parking lot. 

It’s easy to miss this right turn so look for a sign that says “HOMER A. MAXEY.” 

Drive past the sign and follow the road until it ends.  

Park and enter the glass doors.  We’re upstairs.
