I’ve just opened up auditions for narrators for I See Me (Oracle 1) on ACX. Yes, I had been considering doing an author-narrated version, but I’m just haven’t found the time to devote to it. Also, I’m not a professional. (Well, not anymore).

Scope of work: three novels, each approx. 70k. I’d like to move forward with all three books once I find the right narrator.

Compensation: Paid per finished hour, rate negotiable based on experience within the range quoted on ACX.

Character: 19-year-old Rochelle (1st person POV) who has recently aged out of foster care. Western Canadian or neutral accent. Mature for her age, self-reliant, slightly snarky, slightly edgy, but kind and polite. Has been told that she has a psychotic disorder but she is actually magical (an oracle who has visions of the future).

Vocal quality: pacing/rhythm is more important than precision accents. My novels are pretty much written like screenplays (even the action sections should be viewed as internal dialogue – hence the 1st person POV). Looking for a younger, but slightly jaded, engaging narration and a narrator who can balance a lingering moment with an intense internal (or external) struggle.

More information and audition script available on ACX.

Please message any questions through ACX. I’m happy to offer clarification on the character, book, etc, if it will help you hone your audition.

I’m excited to hear the book read by someone other than me!!
