Have you discovered the audiobook preaching principle? If you listen to audiobooks, online videos, or any other spoken content, you probably know you may adjust the listening speed from the normal 1.0 setting to 1.25, 1.5, or even 2.0. To understand the audiobook preaching principle, listen to an audiobook at 1.5 speed, try 1.25, and finally, place the setting on regular. Which is easier for the listener to absorb? Normal, conversational speed. It's mentally taxing and draining to keep up with a higher speed setting. This is why people can follow conversational speech for longer and digest conversational speed more easily. Again, this does not mean there are no times when it is appropriate to get more intense and rapid, to raise or lower your voice—especially if you're planning a pause. We'll talk more about the power of the pause in another post. For now, it may help to recognize that we speak more quickly when we're nervous or disorganized. Writing out a complete, word-for-word sermon manuscript will help on both fronts, whether you have it with you in the pulpit or just an outline. I've got more to say about manuscripts, too, but that's also in another video. The point is that when you know exactly where you're going in a message, you can slow down. A clear map puts the preacher and listener at ease as they prepare for the homiletical journey. But remember, we want to slow down to communicate more effectively, not primarily to improve our oratorical ability. Yes, it will help with that. The main reason to slow down is so we may clearly present the fullness of God's grace in Jesus. So, if you tend to speak faster than the normal audiobook setting, try slowing down a bit and let me know what happens. ?? https://lnkd.in/eQZGra9W

??? Exploring the Impact of Hobbies on Audiobook Narration ?? As an audiobook narrator, I've discovered firsthand how certain hobbies can significantly enhance my craft. Here are a few that have made a remarkable difference: Reading Diverse Literature: Being an avid reader goes hand in hand with narrating audiobooks. It helps me understand different genres, styles, and characterizations, which enriches my narrations with depth and authenticity. Acting and Theater: Engaging in acting or theater workshops has been invaluable. It's not just about speaking clearly but also about imbuing characters with emotions and bringing stories to life. Voice Training: Practices such as singing or vocal exercises help maintain vocal health and versatility. They enable me to sustain long recording sessions while maintaining clarity and expression. Writing and Storytelling: Crafting stories or even journaling enhances my ability to interpret and convey the author's intent effectively. It sharpens my narrative skills and helps me connect with the material on a deeper level. Listening to Audiobooks: Continuously listening to audiobooks exposes me to various narration styles and techniques. It allows me to learn from other narrators and adapt different approaches to my own work. These hobbies aren't just pastimes; they're investments in my professional growth as an audiobook narrator. They equip me with the skills and insights needed to deliver compelling performances and connect with listeners on a profound level.

4 Ways to Create Your Audiobook (and Bonus Tip)???? ... Audiobooks allow avid readers to spend more time reading. Your audience will be able to take your book with them while they’re walking, traveling, or doing a workout. It’s not mandatory to create an audiobook... it’s a ton of work, but it's doable. And did you know-- Nearly 150 million Americans have listened to an audiobook in their lifetime!? And according to Statista, “Revenue in the Audiobooks market is projected to reach US$7.93bn in 2024 and to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2024-2029) of 10.44%, resulting in a projected market volume of US$13.03bn by 2029.” Big numbers. Convinced? ?? You have four options for how to create an audiobook (more deets in the carousel): 1. DIY: Bootstrap it all, Bill. 2. Royalty share: A "free" option unique to the audiobook space. 3. Hire an audiobook narrator/engineer: Hand off the entire process to a trusted professional to record, master, and produce the files for you. ? 4. Have AI narrate for you: With the right tools, you could narrate your entire book with AI. (Risky option because of unknowns.) You don’t need to create an audiobook, but it’s a good option to add to your publishing plans if you feel up to it. And super duper cool bonus! ?? Recording your book gives you another self-edit check. I merge my audiobook recording with the final proofread before I give the all-clear. Do more than you think you're capable. -Jordan --- ??

Let's talk manuscripts...yikes I know, big scary word for most of us in the self-publishing world! I can imagine (As the old saying goes) "blood, sweat and tears" have been poured into your manuscript. You've gone through all the meticulous stages of editing and rewriting and editing again. You've got your finished words sat on your desk ready for their cover and next steps. Maybe you've even self-published your pride and joy already and are looking for another way to bring it to life? Have you thought about turning your manuscript into an audiobook? Why? You will reach new audiences, make your content more accessible, and breathe an extra layer of life into your story through narration. Sounding good so far? Creating and self-publishing your audiobook is incredibly exciting but can be very daunting. There is no one stop shop on how to do it, the information online is vast, varied and ever changing on the recording kit you need, how long things will take, the best processes to use. All of these extra questions floating around your head but with no clear answers. Imagine there was a way to get through that process with experts taking the daunting out of it... We are here to help guide you and welcome you to the compelling world of audiobooks. Taking you through preparing your manuscript for audio, helping you choose the right narrator, offering guidance if you choose to self-narrate, recording and editing, and supporting with your next steps once you have the finished audio file of your audiobook. To achieve all of this we have curated a new initiative at Bengo Media - Audiobooks for Self-Publishers. A space to support self-published authors looking to take that next leap in publishing. Also offering free advice to the authors we work with and those on our mailing list.
