Spotlight Conversations

Narrator Bob Souer talks audiobooks, the art of narration and why he's 'The Second Nicest Guy in Voiceover'.

Donna Reed Episode 79

For many in the voiceover world, Bob Souer is known as 'The Second Nicest Guy in Voiceover", and after spending time at his studio in Pittsburgh, I finally found the true story of how he got that brand started (with a shout out to fellow voice pro and marketing guru Doug Turkel) Listen in on how Bob's start in radio, combined with a childhood love of books and performance, has paved the way to a very successful business, beginning with his first audiobook project: narrating the Bible for Thomas Nelson, a. world leading publisher and provider of Christian content.  With an honest approach to the business of voiceovers and audiobook narration, Bob gives advice on everything from building relationships within the voice industry, why working alongside directors and editors on audiobooks is so important, to ways to keep your business growing and more. The Audie Award and Earphones Award winning performer also talks about his special upcoming project - narrating a new translation of the Bible (published by The Bible Hub). It's a full circle story from a seasoned voice pro you don't want to miss!
