This interview was recorded on 1/15/2021. Welcome back to The Joyful Toolkit. In today’s episode, I am joined by my dear friend Bob Souer. You can probably guess Bob is an audiobook narrator by listening to his voice. Bob started doing audiobooks in 2006. He was first cast to narrate the entire new King James version of The Bible. Up to that point he had expressed a modest amount of interest in doing audiobooks, but he had never actually narrated one. He jumped in quite literally to the end of the pool and then just kept swimming. Bob has now done +300 audiobooks.
Join us as we discuss:
-
Bob’s entire experience narrating the Old and New Testament (a rough 72 hours) and all of the key elements that helped him, including ISDN lines, a director, and an engineer.
-
When he started doing audiobooks for independent authors and referrals.
-
Why he finds so much joy in narrating non-fiction audiobooks.
-
Humility and happiness: his definition of joy and why he feels it most fully when focusing on others.
-
How leaning on faith, friends and family kept him anchored during a time of loss in his life.
-
Why adequate rest and hydration are crucial elements for his self-care.
-
The advice he would give to his younger self.
