How our tiny company makes so many #AudiobookAward winners: We choose the appropriate narrator(s)s to embody the diverse facets of the book, hours of editing adding appropriate sound effects and the perfect musical accompaniments. The final result is an original production liveoakmedia.com/about-us/
