How do you become a narrator for an audio book?

How do I become an audio book narrator? The industry is very competitive. There is no shortage of narrators. Getting a job in the industry is just like applying for any other job. Here are a few suggestions: · Have a professional sample/demo (this would be like your resume) that showcases your ability to do male/female voices, different emotions/settings, and different accents/dialects and languages if applicable. The key is to set yourself apart from the thousands of others trying to get in. You won't get in just because you have a "nice" voice. · Send demo to companies you would like to work for - find out who does the hiring of narrators and direct cover letter/correspondence to that person. · Networking helps - go to industry events (i.e., Audio Publishers Association Conference, American Library Association's conferences, Publishers Marketing Association's conference, Book Expo America, Book London Fair) and get to know (not solicit) the professionals involved in the industry.

What is the oldest book?

There is some confusion and controversy regarding this question.

The collection of Sanskrit Hymns which form the Hindu religious text Rig-Veda describes astronomical occurrences with a very high degree of accuracy that have been dated earlier than 4000BC(Playfair, 1790). This could only have been possible if the chroniclers of these texts had physically observed those events since the ability to retroactively calculate those events required the knowledge of Newtonian mechanics which was unknown till the late medieval period and there is no doubt that the written form of the RigVeda predates Issac Newton by at least 2000 years.

Unfortunately, Indologist Max Mueller, out of a desire to date the RigVeda at a later period than early Biblical events, fixed the date without explanation at 1200 BC based on sparse evidence of linguistic evolution and this has been taken by subsequent historians as truth without further investigation. It's another question altogether whether at all the subject of linguistic evolution can be relied upon to reliably date the civilizations, what may be true for one language might be completely different for another. In fact, a reasonably motivated person can twist the dating to suit his own ideas, as Max Mueller seems to have managed.

The other contender for this is The Epic of Gilgamesh which is an epic poem recorded on 12 clay tablets from Ancient Mesopotamia (Current day Iraq). The earliest versions of the Epic date as early as 2150-2000 BC but the current versions are thought to have been edited to its final and current form by 1600 BC.

To answer your question, unless someone manages to refute the astronomical dating of the Rig Veda(no one has managed it so far), it is by far the oldest book in human history. Otherwise, it is the Epic of Gilgamesh.

The Oldest book is the Diamond Sutra in the dinasty of T'ang of China...

When was the first audio book recorded?

Caedmon started recording audio files of great authors and poets of the 1950's. He started recording these files as far back as 50 years ago! The recordings might not have been as entertaining as the audio recording we have today, but those early recordings can arguably be defined as the first audio books. Also, as a little side note, the transition of these book recordings into audio cassette tapes didn't happen until the late 1970s up to the 1980s and the audio book phenomenon didn't really kick off until the mid to late 1990s.
