Audio Book Narrators
Audio book narrators are the unsung heros of the audio book world. Many people listen to audio books never thinking of the person who's narrating the book. To me this is really sad, after all it's the narrators voice or voices that bring the authors words to life. It's for this reason that I'm developing a Squidoo lense dedicated solely to the audio book narrator. This new lense will feature a new narrator each month and a list of narrators that you can add to and vote for your favorite narrator. Audio book narration is an art form in and of itself, hopefully this will help generate some recognition for this art. I hope you'll find the time to get over to Audio Book Narrators and vote for your favorite.
More Choices with Downloadable Audio Books
Yesterday I briefly mentioned the fact that digital or downloadable audio books offered more options for listening to and enjoying them then books in other formats.
Today I’d like to list just a few of those options that come to mind.
1. In the kitchen. The time spent preparing meals or washing dishes is perfect for lisening to an audio book because your hands are busy and the mind is free.
2. In the garden. Gardening in and of itself is very enjoyable for many people. Today there are many audio books available on the subject of gardening and you can listen to one while your gardening. Very little concentration is needed for gardening which allows you to focus more on your audio book.
3. While exercising. Exercising such as jogging or even in the gym leaves your mind open but your hands, legs and even your entire body busy. This is a great time to enjoy a good audio book. Sure you might be sweating but this is a great opportunity to claim back some lost time. So, exercise your body and your mind at the same time.
4. While traveling. Be it by car, bus, plane or train. We all spend at least some time commuting or traveling and this time provides an excellent opportunity to listen to an audio book. Why not use this time to listen to an audio book, especially one that develops your mind or improves your professional and business skills? What a great opportunity to learn a new language. When asked where you learned to speak Spanish, you can say ‘In my car!’
5. Walking the dog. I spend about three hours a week walking my dog. He doesn’t talk to me so I take the opportunity to put three hours back into my life by listening to an audio book. Some people might even give more time to their dogs with more time available to listen or learn.
6. In bed. Yes I know lots of people already read books in bed but listening to an audio book still has great advantages. You won’t have to bother with holding the book, especially a hardback, and finding balance between a comfortable position and the ease of reading. No adjusting your spectacles and no turning off the light. With an audio book it is pleasure all the way.
I’m sure you can come up with many more, so please leave a reply and share your ideas with us.
