[stylist] Audio

[Peter Mikochik]

recording and reading the text are time consuming and the reading is best 
done by someone with some experience.
i must say though that the author will lend a passion to the reading, but 
they sometimes lack the technical speaking skills to keep the listener 
engaged.

the hard part about this process is the audio editing. this takes 
specialized software and is a skill that takes some learning.
also sometimes it is good to have a director who can guide the actor in 
interpreting the piece.
