More often than not, it takes a team to create an audiobook. In the world of dual and duet narration, collaboration is especially crucial to the process and ensures consistency throughout the finished product. What are the secrets to this sought-after style, and how can narrators set themselves up for success with new co-narrators? We welcome narrators Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux, Paige Reisenfeld, and PJ Freebourn, moderated by Dana P. Rowe, for a lively discussion about narrator collaboration in audiobooks.
