How to get a job as an audiobook reader
To get a job as an audiobook reader you must seek out the Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX), audiobook production houses, and go to casting sites.
The ACX is owned by audible and is a virtual marketplace that brings together authors and audiobook readers. It's a great place for those new to the field because there are plenty of options for lower-priced audiobook readers. Here you can build the experience and portfolio you need to jump-start your career.
Audiobook production houses function similarly to film production companies. They build rosters of audiobook readers that they then match up with authors to narrate authors' projects.
Getting on a roster can be difficult, but there is a loophole. Many of these audiobook production houses have workshops for which you can pay. This is an invaluable investment for your career in audiobook reading because not only do you develop skills and learn the tricks of the trade but, if you stand out, the audiobook production house may add you to their roster.
Use casting sites, such as Backstage, to find listings for available audiobook reader jobs. There are usually many projects on these sites that are perfect for beginners in the field.
