In Chicago, the Cubs aren’t the only ones playing doubleheaders.
On Saturday, April 27, the Chicago Local’s Audiobook Committee hosted back-to-back audiobook seminars at the SAG-AFTRA office and the Kaufherr Center.
Members who have completed at least three audiobooks were able to be a part of a morning seminar on navigating the Audiobook Creation Exchange, known as the ACX, and building careers beyond ACX. Popular audiobook narrators Jeffrey Kafer and Andi Arndt hosted.
The duo also hosted the afternoon session for audiobook beginners, which included interactive readings chosen via a lottery selection, with Arndt providing feedback. The seminar ended with a Q&A, and Arndt and Kafer shared more narrating info, suggestions and advice on how to start a career in audiobook narration.
Kafer has narrated more than 500 books in almost every genre for authors such as Clive Barker, Steve Alten, Maya Banks, Gregg Olsen and many others. Arndt is a multiple Audie Award-winner and has narrated hundreds of titles for all major publishers across many genres, including Kylie Scott’s Stage Dive series, Notorious RBG by Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik, the junior novelization of Disney’s Frozen and Hazards of Time Travel by Joyce Carol Oates.
