VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

In early December, a free audiobook entitled "Hearts, Keys, and Puppetry" was released as a podcast on iTunes. The first line was written by author Neil Gaiman, with the rest of the story developed by "the Twitterverse".

I downloaded and listened to the story shortly after hearing about it, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought that's all that there would be with that podcast feed, but after refreshing my feeds in iTunes this morning, a new "episode" came through: a five-minute video showing the narrator, Katherine Kellgren, at the mic reading the first part of the story, and then answering several questions (not sure where the questions came from, though). It was very interesting watching her read, and she shared some interesting thoughts about the narration process in her comments.

It was also interesting to discover that the accent that she adopted while narrating the story is not her native accent. I, for one, thought that it was very well done all the way through. She had me thoroughly fooled.

Katharine Kellgren is a wonderful actor -- I had the pleasure of hearing her speak as a panelist at the APA convention in NYC last spring. I hope she's there again this year.
