Monday, September 30, 2013, 6pm ET / 3pm PT

This event is in the past.

Now you can bring audio books to life like a pro!

As an audio books interpreter, did you know that you're competing with Celebrities and Celebrity authors? Working with Paul, you'll discover your own style that allows you to be competitive with the very best and work on the skills and techniques needed to rehearse, gain direction and record excerpts in the studio. Paul will also play readings from celebrated actors and authors -- only now you will understand what they did or didn't do!

You'll also learn how to market and pitch to book publishers; how to do audio book demo preparation; and learn how to answer a producer's dreaded question, "what do you charge to do my book?!" For the last class, Paul will bring in a working audio books V/O actor, to get another viewpoint on this business as well as inside information. Also included is an important workbook that will be emailed to you as a .pdf for continued advancement in the audio books market! Please bring this book with you to all of your classes.

Paul Liberti is a celebrated teacher and working voice acto whose audio books credits include Scholastic, Nickelodeon, Tavoli Entertaiment, and the Audie Award winning series Goose Bumps. He'll guide you through an amazing five week journey in this every changing market!

Limited to 10 V/O actors

"Paul, just a quick update. I'm in the midst of narrating a mammoth 364-page non-fiction job about Information Technology. It's actually a subject that interests me quite a lot. How I.T. is changing the way we think. Different from reading fiction but I enjoy the challenge. 10 hours. $300 per finished hour. I owe ya man!" -James Lewis

"I loved this class - one on one's with Paul, his workbook, the HUGE amount of information and how natural and open Paul is! I learned more than I could write here!" -Colleen Britt

"Paul is wonderful-a great teacher and an amazing talent!" -Mary Clancy Mango

"Just wanted to say that I thought your Audiobook class was fabulous. You really opened up a whole new world for me. I've had one or two audiobook classes (mostly single sessions) before, and honestly they didn't do much for me; and until having this class, I was kind of "on the fence" about my willingness or ability to perform in the audio book world, but this time around you helped me to not only make up my mind that I can and will do this, but you also helped me find my "voice" much in the way a very good singing coach helps his student to find theirs. You gave us so much to work with - and it stuck. That's the sign of a good teacher putting the knowledge out there and having the ability and energy to keep it fresh and interesting enough so that is sticks with the student. I will treasure this experience as I move forward towards forging a career as an audiobook narrator." -Dan Pona
