Well, I’ve gone and done it now. I just recorded the audiobook for “Come On Down! A Little Story About My Italian Mom’s Big Dream.” Lucent Audio, run by my friend, Jeff Guillot is producing it! This brings me one step closer to getting the book published, at least in audiobook form, which I think/hope will be a fun listen for you. I just spent two days recording in NYC (where I did my best to look hip and fit in at the local Starbucks).
I worked with a wonderful director/audio engineer named Danielle Quisenberry Ruvolo. She owns Studio Q’d. LLC and we recorded at Edge Studio, one of her studio partners. Edge is in Times Square, so you really get a good dose of NYC. Danielle is a multi-talented editor/actor/dancer, as are so many in the arts.
Danielle made it easy and fun and it was good to be back in the booth, especially knowing it was MY story being recorded. Here’s a short video clip of me recording the book (where my hair looks way more red than #53’s photo made me think it would be. #53 still hasn’t responded to my older blog post).
And thank you to everyone who voted for St. Anthony Must have Spun the Wheel. I was torn, and did incorporate that line into the book. But I felt this one described the story just a bit better.
Mom’s Price is Right story will appear on September 23rd in HuffPost Personal but it should also appear in HuffPost Life (in the Family section) too.
