Susy Jackson is one of the narrators behind Audible’s audiobooks.

In this video, she shares some of the tips and trick she uses to record audiobooks, like underlining character names and noting places where she might need to alter her voice to match the verb (e.g. ‘whispering’).

Take a look into her process for making audiobooks below.
