I made a flash announcement here when the audiobook version of Dancing on the Wind 
finally went live two weeks ago, but I wanted to ruminate a bit more on the process. This is the third audiobook that I've produced, and each time there have been more things to learn.
Though I'm still a novice, for me the key points are:
1) The first big challenge is finding The Voice. Someone I like listening to, and who will also appeal to regular audio listeners. I have a fondness for a lovely deep male voice (calling James Earl Jones!!!), but a man with a naturally deep voice will probably have trouble with lighter female voices, just as a woman with a lighter, higher voice might have trouble with male characters. A skilled narrator doesn't actually imitate multiple voices, but implies them through accent, inflection, pacing, and other verbal tricks. Doing that consistently throughout a full length book takes a real pro.
2) How well does the narrator handle a range of voices? Narrators audition by reading a short passage chosen by the producer. (That would be me) When auditioning narrators, it's good to choose a passage with several voices. The more characters and voices a book contains, the more challenging the task. (Jim Dale, the award winning narrator of the Harry Potter audiobooks, is in the Guinness book of records for doing 134 different voices in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Talk about skill!!!)
3) Pacing–Narration is always going to be slower than reading, so I really dislike audiobooks where the narrator is so slow that I feel like getting out to push. But it shouldn't be so fast that it feels unpleasantly rushed. Obviously how fast is fast enough but not too fast is going to be subjective, but it's a key factor. A principal reason that I chose Peter Bishop to narrate my first indie audiobook, Thunder and Roses was because I liked his pacing as well as his voice.
Though I put a lot of time into choosing narrators, listening to auditions and samples, coming up with new covers, etc, the real heavy lifting is done at the sound studio. Once again I used the Audio Factory )in Glastonbury, 
England, the same people who did such a fine job on The Bargain, which was released in February. That book was narrated by Emma Newman, who was terrific.
Dancing on the Wind came with a whole new set of challenges. Though book narrators are often actors, narrating is not the same as acting. William Kirby, narrator of DOTW, was an experienced theater and voiceover actor, but he'd not narrated a full length book before. The stage requires broader emotions. For narration, that emotion needed to be pulled back. To suggest, rather than hammer, since that voice is going to be right in your ears. Stage acting sounds like over-acting when it comes to audiobooks.
Dancing on the Wind won a RITA, and it's a complicated book. My one sentence description is "A sneaky man meets a sneakier woman." In the early stages of the story, the hero, Lucien, meets the heroine, Kit, in several guises. Each time, she has a different name, a different appearance and occupation, and a different accent. Quite a challenge for an actor, especially one who has to work extra hard to get a good female voice!
This is why voice actors need directors, just as film actors do. The director listens to every word, catching errors in timbre and accent and pacing. Part of his job is ensuring consistency. The sound engineer is equally critical, and he also listens to every word. Among other things, he must catch the coughs and hiccups and rustling pages and word fumbles so they can be corrected as well as ensuring good sound. I returned to the Audio Factory because Arran Dutton and Dave Parry, director and sounds engineer respectively, are so very good. (I'm a great believer in finding good people and letting them do their thing.
The bottom line is that creating a good audiobook is a LOT of work on the part of several skilled people. (I'm the amateur in the mix.) Despite all the challenges, we're all pleased with how Dancing on the Wind turned out. You can listen to a sample here. (There's a little sample button under the image of the cover.)
I'm giving away a free, downloadable Audible MP3 file of Dancing on the Wind to one person who comments between now and midnight Thursday. And if you're not sound file enabled, I'll send a print copy.<G> Because print is still the gold standard!

Mary Jo, this took me back … I was a text reader at Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic for 22 years. Our standards were not nearly so high and some readers would put a listener to sleep (we were all volunteers), but I did my best to read clearly and quickly (the students usually turned up the speed and I didn’t want to sound TOO much like a chipmunk). At the same time, especially in reading narrative, I tried hard to bring life to the words and, yes, differentiate among characters. It really is a challenge.(Thank goodness for the fix-it button!) I love an audio-book novel that voices characters well and makes me feel like I’m listening to a real conversation. Can’t wait to hear DOTW!

Hi Mary Jo,
I started the Fallen Angels series by listening to ‘Thunder and Roses’ from audible UK. Immediately captivated, I looked for the next audio book without success so started on the e-books …. I’m now at book 6 ‘River of Fire’.
I normally prefer female narrators, particularly for the way they can capture emotions and feelings, but Peter Bishop was good, particularly with building tension, for example in the mine disaster or the confrontations between Nicholas and Michael.
I listened to the sample of ‘Dancing on the Wind’ and liked William Kirby’s voice a lot.
I noticed that the only female narrator for your books at Audible UK is Emma Newman in ‘The Bargain’. I thought that she was sublime and would love to hear her again in some of your other books …. but maybe this is a listener gender issue!
However, I will take what I can get, and listening to the audios after reading the ebooks would be the icing on the cake! 🙂

I do not have e-book capability, so my listening is done in the car. One thing I love about listening, is that I hear things that I miss when reading the books. (I became aware of this with the Harry Potter series). I guess I skim/race ahead more than I am aware of, and audiobooks prevents that.

So you REALLY know how hard it is to do it right! I chuckled at the chipmunk, but it does illutrate how listening can be slow and people want to hear faster. If you listen to DOTW, I hope it’s up to your standards since you have a trained ear!

I’m glad the audios moved you into the ebook! I really like making the audio versions available for those who prefer the audio format, but they are expensive to produce, and Audible recently cut its royalty rates substantially, so I’ll have to watch and wait to see how it sells. I don’t look on the audiobooks as a cash cow, but I don’t want to be losing money on them!
I agree that Emma Newman is first rate, and I may well use her again.

Like you, I listen to CDs. My car is new enough to use MP3, I suppose, but I haven’t bothered to figure it out. *G*
One reason I’m using a British studio is because it’s the mother lode for British accents, but Peter Bishop, who did Thunder and Roses, is a Briton based in the US, so of course he was fine also.

audio is a different experience from reading print, and with a story one loves, both can be fun. *G* I think that you’re right that when we read, we tend to whiz over some of the details.

I love audiobooks – especially for long journeys. However for some reason, none of the romance audiobooks would keep my interest, so I switched to more psychology and social sciences books – it was the only way i could finish “reading” the World is Flat! Tried reading the book and would loose interest but on audio, it kept me engaged.

Kanch, I have had a few audio romances that sent me to sleep (none by MJP though!). I find them useful as a cure for insomnia.LOL

When it comes to audio books, I tend to listen to either non-fiction or those that aren’t romances per se. Cat Who, Hamish McBeth, Rosamund Pilcher (there is romance but those are more LIFE books…), Tony Hillerman, Dick Francis, etc.
Definitely the reader makes the book. And just as definitely the reader is sometimes all that gets me through a book. Especially on the non-Fiction books
I used to drive a lot more than I do now so it is kind of hard to get hooked on an audio book when your normal drive time is 5 to 7 mins.
When I was doing tons of knitting, I would listen to audio books and the time went whizzing along.

Kanch–my favorite CD listening in my car is also non-fiction–usually history couress from THe Teaching Company. I don’t usually do fiction because if I like the story, I want to finish it NOW, and I don’t want to wait until I’m in the car again!

Audiobooks and knitting wouldbe a great fit. But I hear you about not driving enough to really get drawn into an story. If I had a long commute, though, I’d figure out how to play MP3 files in my car!

I’m addicted to audio books! Listen to about 100 per year, commuting, walking, doing chores, gardening, and playing games on my phone. I loved The Bargain and Thunder and Roses. I hope it remains worth your while to produce them!!!

LilMissMolly,
I do hope to continue with the audiobooks because there are people like you who love them so. (And there will be an audiobook of Not Quite a Wife out soon–done by Recorded Books, not me, but that’s fine. They always do a good job.)
If after a few months,it looks as if DOTW will at least break even, I’ll go on to Petals in the Storm.
