How do you bring your humanity to your podcast? Sharing your voice isn’t always easy. Factor in the painstaking writing of your script or copy, all those edits and revisions, and some nerves about speaking into the mic, and even the most heartfelt story can wind up either flat and unemotional or encased in that “reporter voice” from the dawn of radio.
Unlock some podcasting inspiration through this conversation with Erin Moon, a classically trained actor who has narrated more than 450 audiobooks. To deliver the sincere and evocative narration for which she’s known, Erin centers her humanity in every character she adopts, embracing both the muse that first inspired the author and the physical reactions—the literal human responses—the writing evokes. Because connecting to the text means connecting to the listener and, as Erin says, “we don’t exist without each other.”
Align your true self with Erin’s thought-provoking insights:
- Why it’s vital to bring your humanity even when you’re reading off the page
- How to avoid “just reading” as a podcast host or audiobook narrator
- What the explosion of podcast popularity says about our need for connection
- What we risk losing if we let AI voice our stories and write our scripts
