Just now got word from one of my agents that I've landed the audiobook narration of the story of the Southern Company, the power company that owns a large number of public utilities throughout the southeast.

You can see the book on amazon.com here:
http://www.amazon.com/Big-Bets-Decisions-Leaders-Southern/dp/0615464866/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327607779&sr=8-1

This will be roughly a 17 hour narration and is my single largest paying job in my v/o career.

I'm giddy right now.

Wow, congrats!

I'm rather surprised you got an audiobook gig through your agent. That seems to be a rarity.

Oh, also, if you need QC and mastering, shoot me a mail.

LOL... yep, it's been a good day. And in-between it all I've been working on narrating my 6th audible.com title today. I'm pooped!

Yabba dabba doo! Congrats!

(You may want to save the salty snacks for later, though. A friendly reminder from Vocal Percussionists Local 722.)

Scott... congrats! This audiobook lark certainly takes it out of you, but it can be so rewarding.
