Converting novels to audiobooks

[JWZagst]

Hey all! In the near future, I am going to be converting some of my written stories -- including my Tapas series (linked below) -- into audiobooks, narrated in my own voice. I know there are a few others offering to narrate peoples' stories, and I'd like to throw my hat into the ring as well. Below I will also link to a YouTube video I did last year where I voiced the narration for a Sims 4 series that was based on an older version of the story I am writing on Tapas, to give you an idea of my voice.

I used to work in call centers, and I was told multiple times by both customers and coworkers that I should go into voice-acting. My voice has been described and smooth and soothing and it works wonders to calm angry people in a customer service situation. I guess we'll see if it works as well narrating stories :D.

Good luck! It’s a good idea to do audiobooks if you can

That's awesome! I know plenty of people who are always on the lookout for new audiobooks. They prefer them to books either because they're can't read very well/fast, or because it's easy to listen to an audiobook while they're doing something else, like driving to work or mowing the lawn.

When I wanted these friends to review my first draft script for my current webcomic, they put off reading it for so long that I wound up recording myself reading it for them just so they could listen to it and give me feedback on it. It was surprisingly fun!

That's awesome! Mine is fanfiction and a mature story, but if you have any interest in it, I would love for someone to share and audio version of it <3

I'll take a look! I'm worried about voicing a fanfiction though, because I wouldn't want it to lead to my channel being demonetized. But I'll still take a look :D.
