If you are ready to embrace your creative nature, focus on all your interests in a way that works for you, and become a Jack of all Trades and master of ALL, The Leonardo Trait audiobook is for you.

The one where I sit in the corner and think about what I’ve done

Standard

So my friend Trevor Algatt — one of the creators/hosts of the awesome Inside Acting podcast which every actor and their mom should be listening to — asked me to share some tips for folks since I’ve been having what could be seen as some success with the audiobook narration portion of my career. After a time of pondering, I decided to put it into a post here for all to share in and hopefully make me look wiser than I actually am.

RELEASED: “Attention” & “Overboard” by Bill Bernico

Short Stories by Bill Bernico
Standard

In between some of the giant audiobook projects I’ve been doing of late (one of those is being released very soon), I’ve been looking for shorter works that I can produce. Author Bill Bernico was kind enough to oblige by offering these two short stories for my voice.

Both are what I would consider somewhat cautionary tales and feature women who make what seem like good choices that lead to bad endings. (I’ll let you be the judge on any authorial intent here.) “Attention” features a woman whose treament at the office leads her to make a choice to… shall I say, “enhance” her standing among her co-workers. “Overboard” tells the tale of a woman who, being a romantic and seeking her true love, takes a chance and tosses a bottled message into the water for her dream guy to find.
