Typically, especially in the sci-fi, fantasy and horror genre of books, the feeling of being immersed in a book is lost when it is converted to an audiobook. As soon as a voice began to drone on, the listener was immediately aware of the discrepancy between the voice they heard and what their minds told them the sound should be for that story. In short, reality intruded. A book, which is a written form of story, is not only to entertain, but ideally to "press buttons" in the listener's senses, to make them feel emotions and experiences. A good storyteller reaches into the reader's mind and presses those buttons. It's a shared experience, which requires audience particpation -- but the audience has to believe what it's hearing. The story -- and telling -- has to work. AudioBooksPlus uses these principals and works with the authors' desire to use modern technology to make their stories come alive for listeners, playing to their senses so they feel and experience the stories as the authors intended. AudioBooksPlus uses professional actors and storytellers and combines their skill with high-quality sound effects and music. This creates a story with a cutting-edge soundtrack, much like a movie. The storyteller can now tell the story as it was meant to be told. The two links below are a passage from the same book as above. One as a standard "audiobook" and the other is in AudioBooksPlus format. Listen and "feel" the difference between the two.
