Stories From The Public Domain
Bringing public domain books to the audiobook world. This is a podcast consisting of practice audiobook projects which I am undertaking as part of a course of study for audiobook narration. These are early efforts, not up my ideal, nor to the standards that I would expect anyone to purchase. Although I am a "work in progress" as a narrator goes, I decided that by doing public domain books as part of my training and publishing them here, others might benefit from (and maybe even enjoy) these recordings, as many (perhaps most) public domain books have never been made available in audiobook form.
