Episode 8: The Art of Human Storytelling with Award-Winning Narrator Julia Whelan
This episode focuses on an area that doesn’t get talked about too much, unless you count the fact that it’s a multi-billion-dollar industry that continues to grow around 9% each year just in the US. I’m talking about audiobooks.
The audiobook industry is usually discussed in terms of the author and publisher, not from the perspective of the most important part of audiobooks – the narrator. This has been an overlooked aspect of the industry—until now— with the launch of Audiobrary by award-winning narrator Julia Whelan.
In this episode, Julia discusses a new model for audiobooks that gives narrators royalties while also protecting readers from AI-generated content through Audiobrary. We discuss the future of AI in audiobooks, how Julia got her start with narration, and she spills the tea on her favorite teas! Also check out Julia’s new release Casanova LLC exclusively available on Audiobrary.com. Download the app!
Julia Whelan has been called "The Adele of Audiobooks" by The New Yorker. She is an author, screenwriter, lifelong actor, and if you listen to audiobooks at all then you know her voice as the acclaimed audiobook narrator of over 600 titles. Her recent novel, Thank You For Listening, was a Best-of-the-Year pick at Amazon, Audible, and NPR.
Julia is the founder of Audiobrary, a new audio publishing company and app, and her latest books – the 8-part romance audio series Casanova LLC debuted exclusively on Audiobrary. She is also a Grammy-nominated audiobook director, a half-decent amateur baker, and a certified tea sommelier.
