Meet Abby Elvidge

-


Straight to Audio Productions is pleased to welcome Abby Elvidge back to our studio in St. George. Abby played the role of Nadine in Gadzooks! A Comically Quirky Audio Book which is a 2015 Audie Finalist in the Original Work Category. Abby did such a great job we wanted to work with her again!

In addition to a wonderful narration style, Abby is smart, easy-going and fun to work with. Abby describes herself as an actress-turned-Paleobotanist-turned Voice Actor.

Abby has a wide range of narration credits many of which are recorded in her new custom recording studio in Illinois. Most recently, Abby narrated the bestseller, GRUNT: The Curious Science of Humans at War by Mary Roach. The audiobook received rave reviews, even from the author. “I won the vocal-cord lottery when Abby Elvidge took an interest in narrating GRUNT,” says Roach. “She is perfect for the project: energetic, friendly, and right on the mark with her tone and inflection.”

Abby also teaches at The Voice Actors Studio in Las Vegas and works with narration gurus Patrick Fraley and Scott Brick.


At the moment, Abby is putting the finishing touches on a custom built recording booth by DAWbox. Abby's new work digs are in her home located near a woodland riparian area with a creek, lake, and willow grove meadow. All this sets the mood for Abby's narration work. Thanks to her husband, Chris Tuma, construction on the booth is going very well. Abby plans to decorate the outside of her recording booth to reflect the beautiful landscape near her home.

The sponsors of Voice Acting For Dummies are offering this guest blog post that I thought would be helpful to actors and writers. Enjoy!  An effective Internet marketing strategy is one of the keys to a successful voice acting business. Your business needs a multi-pronged approach to ensure positive results. One of the first things any voice actor needs to do before jumping in full force to self-market is to build a website. This website can be a traditional one or it may be having a profile on a voice-over marketplace. Most people have both. In the following sections, we focus on how you can build your web presence with a personal website that you can be proud of, how you can utilize social media, how you can maximize how people can locate your presence, and how you can advertise online. (We discuss a marketplace site in the “Utilizing a Voice Acting Marketplace Website” section in this chapter.) Building a personal website When you modestly invest...

The First Review of Yikes! Another Quirky Audio Book

-
AudiobookFans.com Gives Yikes! 4.5 Stars      Two bloggers from Indiana are the fist to review Yikes! Another Quirky Audio Book. Maggie and John, siblings who administer the AudiobookFans.com website, have reviewed more than 200 audiobooks. Although Maggie and John are related, their preferences differ when it comes to genre. This is good news for audio book publishers who are looking to get their work reviewed because if one of them isn't interested, chances are the other one is!      John began his journey into the world of audio books to keep him company during his business travels. Maggie caught the bug in the gym when she made the happy discovery that a good story can do a lot to perk up a ho-hum workout.      Although the emphasis on the AudiobookFans website is on audio books, Maggie says the best thing about the blog is corresponding with readers.      “ Talking to our readers and making ne...

For the gathering this month, I suggested we learn about Search Engine Optimization – a concept generating a lot of buzz these days. I don't know much about Search Engine Optimization, but marketing gurus insist it is the pathway to a successful website.
