GTT Spotlight: Audiobook Narrator A.W. Miller

Voice actor and audiobook narrator A.W. “Aaron” Miller joins George to talk about the long road to becoming a full-time voice actor—and why sounding polished isn’t the same thing as sounding real.

They get into audiobook workflow, auditions, improv, breaths and mouth noise, perfectionism, and the importance of making an actual choice when you step up to the mic. A.W.’s recurring advice is refreshingly simple: be yourself, let yourself play, and stop trying to make every audition sound like a finished commercial.
