<div dir="ltr">I agree with the frustration of not being able to turn material around more quickly, Linden. I think we are all in the same boat. I feel I could work every day and still never get caught up.

what and also to see some of the strategies that are used. As a one man show with a volunteer base of 13 narrators and three audio monitors as well as a handful of reviewers, I always appreciate hearing new ideas on how to approach things I just wish there
was a way of turning around our titles faster to get more into the hands of our patrons. I guess this is a case of “ya just work with what ya got.”<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Everyone! <u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We do try to fit the material to the narrator and not just by gender. We have a volunteer who goes through all of our books and fills out a pre-production assessment of the book
so that we can have an idea of what is in the book before assigning it. We know we have certain readers who do better with non-fiction vs fiction because they don't handle dialogue well. Some do not handle foreign language well. Some don't have facility with
long, complicated sentences. We do a lot of Red Sox books. We like to choose narrators for those books who are sports fans because it comes across in the reading.The style, vocal quality and delivery of the narrator all play into our decision about choosing
books for them. We have heard from our patrons that the voice being suited to the material is important to them. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We usually give our narrators a choice of a couple of books that we think suits their voice best. We've run into problems with narrators choosing their own books because of some
of the aforementioned things. We had a recent example of this, where the previous studio manager let one of our narrators do a book they really wanted to do, but it was full of long complicated sentences and foreign language, two things this reader does not
handle well. So we ended up with many more corrections to do in post-production which took a lot of time and delayed the release of the book. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a question concerning selecting books for narrator and in this case specifically westerns. As I have more females narrators available would you see a problem with having
some of them reading westerns. I’ve always felt that the male voice is what goes best with this genre, but I was wondering if it really matters that much. That also brings up another thought. Does gender matter that much in regards to what you have you
narrators reading or not if the book is non-fiction or fiction told in third person? Haven’t run across any guidelines on this. I’ve just been doing what seems to sound right. Suggestions? Advice?<u></u><u></u></p>
