Long-form narration hinges upon the ability to tap into the intention behind a work in an authentic and durable way. You have to figure out what is comfortably you in order to both allow the work to shine and fuel the endurance necessary to make it through dozens of hours in the booth. In this session, you’ll have an opportunity to hear how Prentice approaches this challenge, get feedback on your narration, and ask any questions that arise around how to bring your authentic self to audiobooks and journalism.
