What does an audiobook narrator do with your worldbuilding?
In this episode of Richardson’s Rubicon, I’m joined by audiobook narrator Liza Jacob to explore worldbuilding from the recording booth. We talk about how history, culture, geography, and “sense of place” shape performance decisions, from accents and pacing to how a scene should sound when it’s spoken aloud.
In this conversation we cover:
Why worldbuilding is direction, not decoration
How a room’s size (intimate vs echoing) changes delivery at the mic
Accents and regional voices in fantasy and sci-fi, and what narrators need upfront
What happens when worldbuilding is thin and narrators are forced to guess
The prep work behind narration (including Liza’s character tracking spreadsheets)
Emotional load, professional boundaries, and why some projects are harder than others
A practical tip for authors: read your manuscript aloud before audio production
If you write speculative fiction, this is a useful perspective shift: your world doesn’t just guide readers, it guides the performance that turns your story into audio.
