I scanned the list of people nominated for Audie Awards and noticed one huge difference this year, it was full of actors and more ensemble pieces. By actors I mean, professional, properly trained, wide in experience actors. Hail to thee my Princes and Princesses. The art of the storyteller is as old as time itself. The difference between an actor telling a story and an "Audiobook Narrator" is like the difference between someone who has just painted a fence and someone who has just held your broken heart and painted it with dreams come true.
I do Voice Over work for a living and despite some very kind people who say I am an actor, I'm not, but thank you any way. Put me in a bar with 10 actors, I could afford to buy them all a drink whereas they would have to pool resources to buy me a drink. That's just money. My respect goes to all the actors in the world who every day make my world a richer place. |
