I'm honoured (and humbled) to be working with Stefan on ST. It still feels like a dream! A wise man (Stefan) once told me that he doesn't believe that there was a thing such as "good" or "bad" acting—only honest and dishonest acting. A thought that stayed. Thank you @stefansecho.bsky.social !

Thanks for answering! :) I know there's a lot more to it than "just reading", and it shows when we listen.
@stefansecho.bsky.social @giftogab.bsky.social I am curious about something. How do you prep a manuscript so that when you read, you know which voices go where? I envision coloured highlighters but I expect there's something more clever than that. Also, thank you for being the voices in my ears. :)
And thanks for your kind words, Seth. Great meeting you.
Seth Williams@boojums.bsky.social · 7mo agoI met two people today whose work I have admired for years. The best part is they turned out to be kind and friendly as well as talented. Stefan Rudniki @stefansecho.bsky.social and Gabrielle DeCuir @giftogab.bsky.social, thanks for the time.

@boskone.bsky.social has been a fun con so far, a workshops with @stefansecho.bsky.social from @skyboatmedia.bsky.social, a panel about the cozy side of horror, as well as tips and tricks for neurodivergent creatives. More to come!

@stefansecho.bsky.social, beautiful work on this story. @giftogab.bsky.social was certainly right when she said she'd listen to you read a grocery list [updated from "phone book" for obvious reasons]. Oh myyyyy. www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/the-...

What a great story, sir! Two characters very different from one another + fun to read, and the 3rd, um, main character, who was SO great. (Happy to hear the info from the helpful customer service guy as well.) @stefansecho.bsky.social's reading was perfect but #3's rendition was just a riot!
José Pablo Iriarte@labyrinthrat.bsky.social · 9mo agoRe-sharing for the daytime crowd--I've got a new short story out today! It's totes magotes not about AI! Really!

Stefan, I and our crackerjack team Skyboat #audiobooks @skyboatmedia.bsky.social take tremendous pride in researching (and enforcing) pronunciations. Plus, Stefan is just a damn poetic genius and knows all these things from his dizzying academic and theatrical background. @stefansecho.bsky.social
Thank you for your support. We appreciate every single #audiobook you listen to; even if it's not one of ours. 😂 Libraries are HUGE supporters of our art, and we are very grateful that they pay us well to spread the "word." @skyboatmedia.bsky.social @stefansecho.bsky.social
Great thread, everyone! Thanks for addressing some of the serious issues related to narration.

Definitely one of my faves. Thanks, Dr. Sue.

Wonderful, multi-layered story. Great characters. Not for the faint of heart. (consider that a challenge!)
Doug Franklin@dougfranklin.bsky.social · 9mo agoIf you’re looking for something to listen to while traveling for the holidays, or a gift for the science fiction fan in your life, my novel THE EXTRAPOLATED MAN is now available as an audiobook. Preorder on the major platforms - Amazon, Apple, Barnes and Noble - and get it in time for the holidays!
Ah yes. Thanks, Sue. THE MISSION has received less media attention than it deserves, because the subject is politically volatile. Terrific book, and my fourth with author Tim Weiner, the ultimate researcher by interview. www.audiofilemagazine.com/reviews/read...

@isabel.kim, Thanks for your wonderful "Human Voices." @lightspeedmagazine.com's author spotlight was fascinating and gave background on the potential power of a voice. (BTW, I also found "deep ennui" on the one cruise ship I was ever on.) And bravo to @stefansecho.bsky.social's amazing performance.
Thanks Glenn. This "story" has become one of my instant favorites. Special format and all.
Glenn Carruthers 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️📚🪐🤖⚽️@drnpc.bsky.social · 11mo agoDristressingly relevant, but gorgeous. @sentencebender.bsky.social's Courtney Lovecraft's Book of the Dead in @nightmare-magazine.com. Wow. @stefansecho.bsky.social's narration had a lump in my throat. Do yourselves a favour #booksky 💙📚💙 📚🪐📚
Just last night, this song by John Denver popped up on my playlist. Seems terribly appropriate today. Enjoy. www.google.com/search?q=Iwa...

I have listened to that one as well. I usually listen to Ender's Game at least once a year. It is one of my favorites and quite possibly my favorite book of all time.
By all means, go for it. I guarantee it'll sound different to you. New revelations. Or...go for ENDER'S GAME ALIVE, OSC's dramatic adaptation of the events surrounding ENDER'S GAME. With an even bigger cast. Plus sound effects and original music, and a whole bunch of other features.
mathman1024@mathman1024.bsky.social · 11mo agoAh, you're right! I forgot about that. Guess I need to listen to it again.
A few years back I had the pleasure and the honor of directing Diane Keaton reading Joan Didion's Slouching Towards Bethlehem. At a studio in Santa Monica. Sweet lady. She did a wonderful job. Wish I could promote her performance, but that version has disappeared. I'll miss her.
Thanks for the referral. But it should be noted that this is a multi-cast production, and there are a few other narrators involved. They are ALL terrific.
