Great PT session this morning, a perfect warm up for today's audiobook edit - a book on Roman gladiators for @penguinukbooks.bsky.social and LadbrokeAudio!💪💪💪

Had a quiet couple of works days before lots of editing and producing coming up. Lovely just to sit in the garden watching the bees delivering pollen to the nest under my shed. Might make use of the time and look up some bee proverbs and browse some bee t-shirts for the rest of the afternoon...

I was honored to moderate PANAcademy's panel with @andreaemmes.bsky.social , @morrisonellis.bsky.social and @samuelwilkins.bsky.social as they shared their challenges with disabilities, adjusting & overcoming & ideas for how industry can accommodate & include disabled colleagues. #PANA #PANAcademy

Great birthday present mum...but just to confirm, I wasn't actually ON Eastenders....

I was recently asked what I enjoy about being an audiobook producer. My answer was simply to build happy and strong relationships with narrators, helping them feel relaxed and comfortable in the studio. So it was very lovely to receive this from Mo this morning. We are both Mo's, don't you know 😀

Great day catching up with #AudiobookNarrator pals on the Southbank! Friends old and new, human and animal :) Lovely stroll from London Bridge. Spotted some cool things in the @southbankcentre.bsky.social shop, too! #London #Audiobooks

Thoroughly enjoyable first run with Scrambled Leggs Running! Looking forward to many more runs, egg-specially the socials! #Tonbridge #running

BBC Radio 3 Unwind Ultimate Calm: Ólafur Arnalds: Series 1 Put on your hiking boots as Ólafur Arnalds shares meditative music for long reflective walks, as well from Norwegian singer-songwriter Sigrid.

I had an exciting time in the studio with Chris on this one! Download it now :)

A pleasure directing Genesis on this one and meeting Abi! Buy the audiobook now!

Loved working with Terry on this :)

If you've not yet purchased the latest Doctor Who Magazine, WHSmith are giving away a BBC Doctor Who audiobook with the current issue. There seem to be quite a few titles available.

A busy festive period of Parkrunning! Tunbridge Wells, Aberystwyth, Maidstone and Tonbridge! 17 runs into my journey and already seeing amazing improvements in my health! #Parkrun

Reposting... just because...

Always this ⬇️

This is 90% my day. The rest is custard creams. Need to address that balance.

I've edited lots of autobiography audiobooks over the years read by the authors. It's amazing how many don't read their books thoroughly before coming to the studio. Many times sessions are stopped so they can call their publisher to find out if it's too late to have something changed or corrected!

Along with producing high-quality audiobooks & other documents in audio format, I provide a PDF Tagging & Remediation Service. Using specialist software, I can help fix your most complex documents (i.e. Annual Reports etc.) to make your literature more accessible for people with disabilities.

Lovely @rtwparkrun.bsky.social Christmas Social at The George this evening! Brilliant to meet fellow runners (newbies like me & seasoned professionals), TW people I've know for years on social media but not had the opportunity to say hi, and catch up with old friends! #TunbridgeWells

A transcript is the only way to make video or audio content accessible to someone who is both deaf and blind. Transcripts can be converted into braille, to be read on a refreshable braille output device.

I notice they don't share actual sales figures for audiobooks created by A.I. Yes, you could save a little bit by not using a professional narrator, editor and proofreader... but what is the point if your audiobook has stigma of being A.I. generated AND you don't actually sell many copies...

#DoctorWhoDay I've had a truly magical year producing/editing 15 Doctor Who #Audiobooks, working with some extremely lovely Who Companions and the very best from the DW Audio world! #narrators

#Humanvoicesonly is today!! I’ll be sharing and resharing so many narrator voices and authors words on IG &TIKTOK so be sure to follow, watch & share. We want human voices & human words!

A couple of titles I recently narrated, one factual, the other a spy thriller fiction story. As I finalise my debut manuscript, how my characters sound in my head is so different when I read their words aloud.

Audio Peeps Beware of a scam email from Ryan at Bose Inc keen to explore marketing opportunities. Google search reveals it to be a con, resulting in malware being installed on your computer. Of course, I didn't fall for it. (Hopefully the bin men haven't been yet so I can fish out my headphones...)

I'm just finishing editing a religious audiobook, then on to two regency romances, then the next in a crime thriller series... from my perspective, authors are shunning A.I and still using humans! Long may it continue! #narrators #audiobooks #audiobookproducer

Where are all our audio publishers...? 🤔

9th #Parkrun today! Never been into or interested in running before. Today I ran 5 mins faster than my first run and feel awesome! Hoping to do many more around the country and beyond! Coming to a Parkrun near you... More-run-ison Ellis!🕺

Thinking of my dad today, on his birthday. Blind for the last 16 years of his life, his passion to draw never died, and he strived to make sense of what his mind could see. Check out his artwork pre and post sightloss here: www.blindartist.co.uk

@e11iotchapman.bsky.social Hey Elliot, be great if you could give me a follow so I can DM you! Have a publisher keen to do an audiobook with you and wants to get in touch :)

The Ladbroke Audio lads bring out the sunshine in London! #audiobooks

And...that's a wrap on the recording on book 1 in 2024. Just shy of 30 hrs raw audio. Should edit down to around 22 to 24 hours...lots of.oauses whilst I checked endless Indonesian and Dutch pronunciations. Heartiest thanks to Finlay for the help and @morrisonellis.bsky.social for the editing.

What an emotional rollercoaster of a day it has been. @morrisonellis.bsky.social produced his final #audiobook at Studio 2, and we began the process of packing it all away ready for its new adventure. Just 10 days now until studio 1 closes for good...and THAT will be an emotional day for sure!
