   Superior presentation.
   One question if I may: How do you get such a great, dead’n'deep sound on your mic with a set-up that looks like it’s basically just sitting on your desktop? You’re not in a closet or sound booth, just right out in the open.

   Great, concise, instructional on audiobooks! What percentage of your business would you say is audiobooks, and do all of your publishers edit your files themselves, or have you ever been expected to edit before you send to them (Deb Munro had an online article where she indicated she was responsible for the editing. I was curious if this was the norm or not.)
   I appreciate your extending a helping hand to those on their way up.
   Thanks,
   Ann

   I enjoyed the your presentation on audiobooks. Your presentations give me great insight into the real world of voice acting, and are a huge help. I would also like to know how you create that great dead’n'deep sound on your mic.

   Thanks
   Gary

     Thanks Gary! The mic I use is a Neumann TLM 103. It’s perfect for my style of delivery. Thanks again for the kinds words!

   Fantastic. But repeating what Greg asked, may I know which is your hardware and software setup?
   Many thanks,

   Excellent tips! How do you record with the computers sitting on the desk? Doesn’t the sound of the cooling fans interfere with the audio?

   Thank you so much for this sample, I posted it on our website where we coach sci-fi writers how to produce their own audiobooks and radio drama. Godspeed!

   Thanks so much for that ‘realtime’ session, it seems more accessible and attainable.
