An invaluable resource for the podcast era.
The advice in this book from the great Lorelei King and her producer is excellent. It's certainly worth the process for anyone seriously considering joining the exciting and popular world of podcasting. Even established podcasters should listen to the solid advice given.
Lorelei King is an expert in voice acting, narration and vocal performance. Anyone with an interest in spoken word audio will enjoy this and those who are interested as a profession must listen. Master class, without a doubt.
