Excellent resource!! Thanks for the tip. I can already see me ordering from him. The Cartoon voice set seems like a great place to start.

For those near Hollywood, I received this from Pat today....


As I write this, Audiobook Publishers are back in D.C. making book deals at their National Convention. This summer and fall they will be hiring their readers. Make sure you're one of them.Â
