Please welcome back, narrator Lance Greenfield to
Audiobook Lovin'!!
Hi Lance!! So excited to have you as a guest again for this year’s Audiobook Lovin!
Thank you Viviana, for asking me back! I'm sharing my Top 5 Reasons Why I Love Being an Audiobook Narrator!
1. Working from home.
For the last couple years I've been doing this, I'd always taken it for granted that Brick Shop Audio, my "home base", would always be there. NOBODY could've predicted this pandemic, so when it hit, I felt, for want of a better term, screwed. But Brick Shop stepped up, and offered me rented equipment. That was a month ago, and I’ve since recorded seven books! I feel incredibly lucky to still get to work in spite of this.
2. The community
As I had mentioned, Brick Shop was nice enough to ship me equipment in order to record from home. Not only that, but they patiently walked me through understanding Pro-Tools, and how to upload files. I’d always had this stuff done for me at the studio, but now, I feel confident and independent with the technical side! This community really takes care of its own. Not a lot of people can say that.
3. Building relationships with authors
I love authors! It's very heartening every time someone trusts you with their "brainchild", and when you absolutely NAIL it? Their excitement and gratitude is beautiful. I've had the privilege of getting to work regularly with Sawyer Bennett, Lauren Landish and Chelle Bliss, and it's almost like having a penpal in some way!
4. Interacting with fans
I've finally made a fan page on Facebook, and I've been overjoyed to get to interact with my fans. I've had people message me saying that one of the books I'd narrated is helping them get through quarantine, and that just means the world to me. The listeners are so passionate and their enthusiasm is palpable!
5. The diversity of genres
Although I’ve cut my teeth in romance, I‘ve had the pleasure to also get to work on some sci-fi (Forger of Worlds series by Simon Archer), and a supernatural thriller (Follow the Crow by B.B. Griffith)! I’m thrilled by the prospect of getting a foothold in both these new genres in addition to romance and broadening my audience even further! With all this new work, Mr. Greenfield will be waiting tables no more!
