## Resource

Join me as I talk with audiobook narrator Johnny Heller. He's been a narrator for decades and has learned so much over the years, and also shares his knowledge as a coach along with being a narrator. We discuss how he approaches the craft of narrating, some key elements when it comes to character creation, as well as pacing. To learn more about Johnny Heller, I invite you to check out his website at: https://mrjohnnyheller.com To see how audiobooks are made and to be a part of the behind-the-scenes action, I invite you to join me in Discord in my personal server of Wilderness Fire Productions. I narrate live Monday through Friday from 1pm to 5pm Central Time, and I would love to have you join me there.
