Award winning author Sarah Xerar Murphy will give an overview of the intricacies of recording your own book in your own voice through looking at her work with audio engineer Evan Hansen of Fredericton’s Recordery to bring to life audiobooks of her two-volume novel Itzel (Mrs. Dunster’s Fiction Prize 2019). The workshop will include short audio clips and slides of the process, talk of punch-ins and pickups, pacing and spacing, auditing and editing, as well as exercises to open the voice and practical advice on the reading. With questions and discussion of course.
