Livingston has a background in acting, and so when it came time to record the audio version of STARLING, she knew she wanted to be the one to put voice to her narrative. In the video below, Livingston explains what it's like to record her book, including all the side-effects of speaking into a microphone all day. Who knew that audio recording could cause muscle twinges and pain in your toes?
As Livingston says, she's not trying to sound exactly like the male, female, young, and old characters in her audio rendition of the book. Instead, she is conveying "an impression of, or an idea of what they sound like in my head." So if you've ever wondered how a book sounds to the author who is writing it, look no further than this video.
In the video, Livingston narrates an excerpt from the same sword fighting scene depicted in the above trailer. See if you can spot the similarities!
The audio edition of STARLING is available through Audible.com.
