The Tenth Anniversary Dowser Series Kickstarter campaign just rolled over $35k (YAY!!) and in doing so unlocked the third stretch goal aka the second free audiobook (for tiers 2 and up)! To celebrate I wanted to share the video (below) because I’m insanely excited that Erin is lending her voice and talent to the Dowser Series!
First a tiny bit of background. Just in case you didn’t know, I’m getting the Dowser Series audiobook rights back from my publisher over the first six months of 2023. So I need to rerecord those six and finally record the last three (which is part of the reason I’m doing the Kickstarter). I’ve been working with Julie at Whole Story Studio with the Amplifier and Archivist series. When I mentioned the massive project that is the nine dowser audiobooks to Julie, and my concern about finding the perfect narrator, she brought me Erin Moon.
And Erin is freaking perfect for Jade.
Erin is also freaking perfect for me (and us!!) because she drops the best treats in my inbox. For example, below is seven minutes of her recording the first page of Dowser 1 in her booth. Her process is incredibly focused and intense. And her Jade is playful and just … well, I’ll let you see (listen?) for yourself!
Sound on!
Bonus: Erin is sharing other bits of her process and narration over on her TikTok. And, as she just informed me in another tasty inbox tidbit, she is GOING LIVE on TikTok from 12noon-1 PST every day next week (Jan 16 – 20) as she narrates Treasures, Demons, and Other Black Magic (Dowser 3)!! Squee!!!
This is sooooo good! So excited!
Me too!!
That’s very interesting. I always wondered how they recorded, especially the ones with many different voices. They seem to bounce back and forth between voices without a thought. (I’m thinking of Oracle & Amplifier, which both have great voices.) I just thought it took some serious editing, post recording, to get it so seamless.
She IS perfect for Jade! I can’t wait for their release. 💜
You should consider Graphic Audio. I think they would do well with the Amplifier series!
They approach the authors they want to work with, I believe.
That was fascinating to see the process. Love her voice! I’ve never listened to an audiobook but I’ve been thinking about trying it for a while. I participated in the Kickstarter so looking forward to the stretch goals and other audiobooks as they come out!
Very cool, eh?!
Wow, so cool and interesting to see her actually recording. Love her voice. She IS perfect for Jade! Can’t wait!
OMG, I’ve never listened to an audio book and now I so totally want to listen to yours! Ohh, it’ll be like rereading without all the eyestrain, hehehe. Congratulations Meghan, Erin is Sooooo Jade.
OMGosh … so frickin excited about this!! I’m so thrilled that you’re on your way to your next “chapter”!! 😊🥰
Now I want to read every single book all over again! Probably in Erin’s voice now….or in as close an approximation my southern heritage will allow. Yup Erin’s voice.
😁😁😁
This is a very cool snippet!! The only books I have listened to, are the ones you have read bits of to us. I love that her vocal cadence is similar to yours! ( in my mind anyway!)
