As audiobook narrators, we spend hours embodying fear, grief, rage, trauma, heartbreak, panic, and vulnerability in order to make stories feel real for listeners. But what happens when your nervous system starts responding to those emotions too?

This week on Good Aural, I’m talking about emotional resilience in audiobook narration. We’re talking trigger warnings, boundaries, nervous system regulation, emotional decompression, and why narrators need better conversations around mental and emotional sustainability in this industry.

Because your body doesn’t always know the difference between experiencing fear… and performing it convincingly.

Good Aural is hosted by audiobook narrator and actor Brenda Scott Wlazlo. We talk craft, business, performance, and the weird little things that make an audiobook actually work.

Come hang out. Let’s talk about it.
