Excellent book, wishing more elements available
Great book, wishing some elements were available
I believe this was a well written and well performed book. As a training voice over artist, it had some new elements to take away.
It was intriguing and informative.
Lorelei is clearly a great narrator.
For myself, this book really would have benefited from some audio book scripts, with examples from Lorelei, with different genres. We truly learn by doing and not only listening.
I also really would have loved some more information on character creation and voice acting.
She has some easy to follow great tips on the subject mentioned.
I really hope she writes a second book that dives more into character creation and lots of examples of read styles for different genres. It was clear she had more knowledge to share.
Thankyou for the lovely read.
Daniel
