Whereas many narrators treat first person narration as a long-form monologue, asking specific questions about the author's intent will provide subtlety and depth that most others can't offer. Learn from industry professionals Scott Brick and Suzanne Elise Freeman which questions must be asked, and in what order, to make narration shine. Each participant will receive personalized guidance, as well as in-depth instruction that will benefit them in every title they do, be it fiction or non-fiction, and first, second or third person narration. Learn how raising the stakes will command the listeners' ears -- and the publishers', as well.
