Podium Entertainment’s Post

What have you been reading lately? Last week I dove into Hamlet for the first time in years. The Folger Shakespeare Library's audio version was a delight! Audiobooks are an especially great way to get into a play. When you watch a play performed, you're seeing a combination of the script, the director's vision, individual actors' choices, and the staging/lighting/sound/costuming (plus the electricity of the audience!). When you read a script silently, you have to do all the work of the cast, crew, and audience for yourself. I find reading along to an audiobook helps bridge the gap between these two experiences and lets me get deeper into the text. I can spend more energy on noticing.

As someone who is constantly talking but not always communicating, I highly recommend this audiobook. If you have Spotify Premium, you can listen to it for free. It took me three months to finish (thank you ADHD), but it was worth it. The author helped me better understand the different types of conversations and how recognizing what people want from a conversation can enhance team collaboration and help achieve common goals more quickly. TL;DR: Do you want to be helped, heard, or hugged?

Musicians, do you remember the first song that lit you up inside? Authors, what was the first book that grabbed you and wouldn’t let go? Actors, how many dozens…how many hundreds of performances did you see before you saw “the one”? The one that opened your eyes to what was possible, that flipped a switch in you, that made you say, “THIS is what I want to create.” Yesterday, I heard that audiobook. The book was Stephen King’s “You Like It Darker,” narrated by Will Patton - not that it matters much, since our reaction to art is so subjective. It lit my boiler in a big way, but there’s no guarantee it’ll do the same for you. I could list all the things I loved about the performance, assuming I had the stamina to write it and you had the patience to read it. But the way that audiobook hit me…it’s something more complex, and more simple, than bullet points can capture. I can tell you this about the performance: It made me cry. I cried because it was so perfect. I cried because I might never create anything as good. And I cried because finally, I can see what’s possible. The switch is flipped. I know what I want to create. #inspiration #voiceacting #audiobooks #elearning

Editing an audiobook is all about transforming raw recordings into polished, professional audio that captivates listeners. Here’s a comparison between the raw file and the edited version to showcase the difference careful editing can make: 🔹 Raw File: Background noise, breaths, and plosive sounds. 🔹 Edited File: Clean, crisp. This is where the magic happens—removing distractions and enhancing clarity while preserving the narrator’s natural tone. What do you think of the transformation?
