Thanks, Tom. I'm really enjoying learning about voice. I'm being forced to be more emotional (gasp!). But that's also helping my writing. I'll let you know when the audiobook is out.
This is really good, Nana... I agree, there's much more emotion and impact from the spoken word vs the written word. I worked in radio as an announcer long ago and it was always said to smile when you speak because it does come through, for sure. Varying your tone and pacing helps too, add that emotion beyond what you would normally do. Your voice works well with the material I think, maybe even a bit slower in the dramatic parts? Best of luck with your book. - Tom

Hi Nanako,
This is Randy from Story Night. What is the name of the short story you read for us on Monday night?
Thanks,
Randy

Hey Nanako, I tried to click on the links but I was denied access. Would love to hear them though :)
