It’s all Renee Raudman this week. On Monday, we featured Part I of a recorded talk with Renee. Today, we’re featuring Part II which includes talking about Renee’s ability to voice those highly desirable heroes, her preparation and recording process, and Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels and The Edge series from her perspective – among other things.
And although I explained the nature of our recorded talk yesterday, I want to state it again today. Each time we record an AudioGals talk, Brenda is in the background recording, directing, and after the fact, producing the final product. Although our talk features Renee talking with me, you will hear both of us occasionally respond to Brenda as our time with Renee ended up being a fun-filled two plus hour chat between the three of us.
Now for Part II of Talking with Renee Raudman!

So excited!!
I am a recent convert, but I love Renee’s work. I have a question for her. In Kissing under the Mistletoe, she does a great job narrating a little child’s voice. At one point, the voice overlaps with another (I think her mom’s) voice. Is that two people? Editing? And (second question), how do you prepare for the different voices and not have them sound “fake”. For example, a lot of narrators sound really artificial when they do children’s voices, and yours sounded…well…like a child. Do you practice, record, listen? Do you record kids around you and copy? Do you ask your significant other to listen?
Fascinating interview Lea – well done.
I loved hearing about how Renee came to be an audiobook narrator and her process etc. Thank you so much Renee! :)
