What is a textbook narrator?

Last Update één jaar geleden
A good reader will make the performance transparent and SEEM like the easiest thing on earth….just like talking. Readers thoroughly prepare the material they are reading by researching pronunciations and determining characterizations (if applicable) before recording. Advanced textbook training, an audition, and an equipment check must be passed before becoming a textbook narrator.
