Marc Cashman has a resume' a mile long. He's done it all as a talent, writer, coach, and producer — and one of these days, when I can book it on the schedule, I'll be traveling to LA to take one of his classes.
I'd LOVE to take this one on AudioBook training. The AudioBook niche is generally recognized by most who are "in the know" about such things as probably the fastest growing market for voice-actors. Not for everybody…but maybe it's for YOU.

want to tell you how much I enjoyed the Audiobook Workshop. Actually, I
don't think you should call it a "workshop." I must have attended
hundreds of workshops in my career and I don't think the name is

"Audiobook Baptism." But, workshop? No, this was much, much more than a
workshop. The pace was excellent and the instructional
and informational content was shrink-wrapped into the 8 hours (there
was so much "good stuff" it might take me 6 hours to transcribe my
notes).
I
went to your training thinking: "There's no way I could ever do an
audiobook, but perhaps the training will help develop my acting ability
for other V-O work." I came away thinking: "Hey, maybe I could do this!" I will happily attend again the next time you offer it.”

But audiobook narration takes a lot of specialized skill sets to pull
off. If you want to know how to break into
audiobooks, how to sustain your voice for hundreds of pages and want to
be directed by one of the top audiobook narrators and
director/producers in the country, this one-day workshop on Saturday, April 11th is for you.

objective, critical feedback on your performance abilities.

We'll then confirm and give you directions to the studio in Los Angeles, CA.
