AC-T-332 Characters with Accents - An Interview with Author-Actor Skylar Lyralen Kaye
In this episode, Becky sits down with award-winning writer, filmmaker, and solo performer Skylar Lyralen Kaye (fae/they). We dive deep into the complex creative process behind their recently released non-binary memoir, Bachelorx. The audiobook is a feat of vocal storytelling, featuring 47 distinct characters—including 18 of Skylar's own inner voices. Skylar shares fascinating insights into the technical and emotional challenges of narration, including: Mastering Accents: How they utilized mimicry and digital tools to tackle everything from Puerto Rican to Russian-British accents. The Recording Journey: Moving from a DIY apartment setup to professional studios in Portugal and the importance of vocal pacing. Acting Techniques: Applying the Meisner technique and "Internal Family Systems" to bring authenticity to personal, often painful, memories. The Power of Humor: Using comedy as a survival muscle to navigate the heavy themes of a 35-year marriage and the vulnerability of dating in mid-life. Whether you are an author considering narrating your own memoir or a listener interested in the artistry of voice performance, this episode offers a profound look at how we use art to process trauma, find compassion, and reconnect with ourselves.

AC-T-331 The Ultimate Audiobook Launch Strategy for Indie Authors, Part 3
In part three of our deep-dive series on mastering your audiobook launch, Becky explores how to transform a simple release into a deep, transformative experience for your listeners. Moving beyond the basics, we discuss how to leverage bonus content and strategic partnerships to build credibility and drive sales. In this episode, you will learn about: Listener-First Bonus Content: How to use "deleted scenes," author notes, discussion guides, and even curated playlists to create a more immersive experience through platforms like AMPlify Audiobooks. The Power of Reviews: Why human-written reviews provide essential social proof and how to effectively use snippets from professional organizations to build your credibility. Podcast Guesting & Influencer Outreach: Strategies for identifying the right podcasts (even those outside the book niche!), how to prepare as a guest, and the importance of offering value—like exclusive coupon codes—rather than just a sales pitch. Creating Short-Form Content: How to repurpose podcast appearances and behind-the-scenes studio moments into engaging social media clips to maintain momentum. Whether you are a fiction author looking to escape into a new reality or a non-fiction expert aiming to solve real-world problems, this episode provides the tactical roadmap to ensure your audiobook isn't just heard, but remembered.

AC-I-330 Murder and Suspense - An Interview with Author Brian Brady
In this episode, Becky talks with Brian Brady, author of the Fog City Stories series, beginning with Oh What a Tangled Web, and Hiding in Plain Sight. As a former police officer and corporate security executive, Brian brings a lifetime of real-world experience into his gripping tales of crime, suspense, and moral complexity. Together, they explore how Brian’s background in law enforcement shaped his storytelling approach, the real-life themes his books tackle, and what draws him to write about the darker corners of human nature. Brian opens up about the inspiration behind his characters, the social and ethical questions woven throughout his plots, and the impact he hopes to make on readers who love smart, character-driven mysteries. The conversation also delves into the audiobook production process, including how collaboration plays a crucial role in transforming written thrillers into immersive listening experiences. If you’re a fan of crime fiction, thrillers with depth, or the creative process behind turning novels into audiobooks, this episode delivers an insider’s look at what makes Fog City Stories both authentic and unforgettable, available at AMPlify Audiobooks and anywhere you listen to audiobooks: Fog City Stories Book 3: Greed https://amplifyaudiobooks.com/book-preview?product_id=20925 www.amplifyaudiobooks.com https://www.goldengatetales.com/ #AMPlifyAudiobooks #ProAudioVoices #BeckyParkerGeist #AuthorInterview
