Episode 23 - Mike Johnson: Fireside Audio Executive Producer
<p>On this episode of Flock Talk, we dive into the world of audiobook production and explore the technique of "punch and roll." Our guest, Mike Johnson, shares insights on this recording method used to fix mistakes and interruptions during the process. We discuss how this technique ensures a smoother and cleaner audio for the producer, tackling errors, background noises, and even distractions like a dog licking itself. </p> <p>In addition, we explore the process of audiobook production through Fireside, a publishing company that works closely with authors. Mike takes us through the steps, from authors submitting their books to selecting a narrator and the recording process followed by post-production. We also discuss the relationship between Fireside and authors, their collaboration on marketing efforts, and the debate within the industry about whether narrators should spend time promoting the books they've worked on. </p> <p>During the episode, we also touch on the exciting genre of LitRPG, a literary role-playing game genre that has gained popularity in recent years. We draw comparisons to the concept in the movie "Ready Player One" and discuss well-known examples like the anime "Sword Art Online." </p> <p>But it's not all about the technicalities of audiobook production. We take a break to explore the unique and entertaining music group, "Here Come the Mummies," a ten-piece funk band that dresses up as mummies. Their fun and energetic performances at smaller venues like the House of Blues add to the lively atmosphere.</p> <p>Finally, we delve into the behind-the-scenes aspects of audiobook production. Mike shares his experiences with audition samples, the importance of clean audio, and the challenges of dealing with edited or processed recordings. We also discuss the role of the editor and the delicate balance between providing guidance to narrators while respecting the author's vision for the characters.</p> <p>Join us on this episode of Flock Talk as we unravel the world of audiobook production, explore the dynamic genre of LitRPG, and discover the secrets behind delivering high-quality audio.</p>
