Renowned for her distinctive, smooth and flawless voice, her
versatile vocal talents have been used in projects ranging from a simple
voicemail to multiple, quirky character voices in video-games and audio books. She
works as a freelance narrator from home, recording in a state-of-the-art sound
booth located in what was previously her formal dining room.
Pearl encourages authors to broaden their fan base by
offering their titles in an alternative format. Buyers can listen to audio books
using computers, e-tablets or smart phones, and the cost for creating the books
has dropped drastically over the past few years. Experienced book narrators
charge between $200 and $400 per finished hour of book content.
You can learn more about audio book narration and how to
produce an audio version of your book on two websites: The Audiobook Publishers
Association at: http://audiopub.org, and ACX
(Audiobook Creation Exchange) at: http://acx.com.

Pearl says, “I'm
very excited to share audio book production opportunities with those who have
not even considered it before. The industry is exploding and apparently sales
of audio books sky-rocketed in the past couple of years. It's a great time to
become involved and there are many narrators out there looking for a new book
to narrate.”
