This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.
I just listened to a child's audiobook and I found it interesting. There were a lot of sound effects like fighting sounds, animal sounds and nature sounds. Those were not new to me. The most impressive part was how the narrators produced some special sounds. They burped, sneezed and even made a sound of popcorn popping. If the character was screaming while dying, the narrator needed to produce several pitches of screams, from high to low, to show the process of death. I'm curious as to how many times they had to make those sounds to get to a satisfactory performance. They must've spent a lot of time practising ad rehearsing. I wonder if those narrators would get a higher pay than the usual ones because their narrations are definitely more dramatic and dynamic.
