Hello guys I am thrilled to announce that another narration legend is coming to Booth Chat!
Sean Pratt, narrator of over 1,000 audiobooks in almost every genre and recipient of countless awards, will be helping 6 lucky BoothChat members to fine-tune their Non-Fiction Narration skills during a one hour coaching session on Tuesday 9th of May at 10am UK.
Sean Pratt has been a working professional actor in theatre, film, TV and voice-overs for over 30 years, an audiobook narrator for 22 years and is also the author of “To Be or Wanna Be – The Top Ten Differences between a Successful Actor and a Starving Artist,” an actor’s how-to book on success in the industry.
When I asked Sean what he’d like from us in return for this extremely generous offer, he said “I’d ask that they’d send their friends to check out my website, visit Ana Clements’ Clubhouse rooms, and buy me a drink if they ever meet me in person.😎❤️👍🏻”.

And here is the recording of the session…..thanks again Sean, it was amazing!
And here you can listen to Sean’s very own recordings of the 3 scripts used in the session.
I’d like to read please!
Thanks for your interest James I’ll put you into the draw.
Yes please I’d love to be included.
I’m really looking forward to observing this session if I can make it. It’s always so fascinating learning from these fabulous professionals. Thanks for organising it Tom. 🤗
Hi Tom
Is it OK if I arrive half way through to watch and listen? I don’t think I’ll be free until half 10…
Thanks
Anthony
Of course Anthony! I don’t seem to get notified by Zoom when people arrive after the meeting starts for some reason. I’ve asked them about it but I’m still waiting for a response from them. The quickest and most efficient way to contact me is via WhatsApp if that helps. Don’t forget I’m in Spain so my number is +34717703787
Great, thanks Tom!
Wow, Tom, this is so exciting! Legend, indeed! I would love to read for Sean. I’m super interested in nonfiction narration. Thank you!
Nice one Sion I’ll put you on the list

Hey, I’ve had coaching with Sean. He’s an amazing narrator and NF performance coach. Great job to get him on the call! I’d love to read for him but I’ve not been a regular joiner since the time change so I’m not sure if I qualify. If I do, please put me down for the hat 🙂
Debs
Hello Deborah, yes of course I’ll put you in the draw. I just try and make sure that those who’ve been attending the weekly sessions get a slight advantage in the selection for guest coaches. But your name is in the draw! Thank you
Hi Tom, I’d like to be put in the draw to read for Sean please 😊
No problem Rachel, thanks for your interest!
Sadly I’ll be in Rhodes so will miss this. Hope it’s a great session for all 😊
Hi Tom, wonderful, thank you!
I am having difficulty downloading the material from the WeTransfer link: I wanted to show you a clip but it wont let me in this space so I will email you directly with it…is it just me?
Try now, it’s a pdf now
Great, thank you! Sorted.
Tom, I have skimmed through Sean’s document. Please can you kindly confirm what preparation Sean would like us/the readers to do ahead of the session. There is a lot of information there and also several scripts. Thanks.
Yes it was a document that Sean used in a recent talk he gave, I think a lot of the information is for discussion purposes. I think all you need to do is familiarise yourselves with the 3 scripts and maybe choose one you’d like to try with Sean. That’s all! Don’t worry about anything eles other than the 3 scripts and which one you want to read, ok?
OK, thanks Tom! Have a great weekend!
Tom, just to say that, on looking at the scripts, which are pretty long – and bearing in mind there are 6 of us reading – I can stay for the full hour today but not much longer.
OK Judith thanks for letting me know, I’ll see if I can get you to read first then if that’s ok.
Tom, I do have the full hour so no need to push me up the queue if we are running to time!
Hey, I didn’t see my name on the wheel? Anyway, I wish all of the six readers luck and hope that they enjoy their session with Sean x
Deborah you’re absolutely right, I’m sorry, I’m only human and make mistakes! I can only apologise! I try and make note of all the names as they come in but sometimes of course I get sidetracked and must have forgotten to put your name down, for some reason. You can rest assured it was a very genuine and unfortunate mistake, I am trying hard to make this a fair and valuable offering to the VO community!
Looking forward to it Tom! Thank you
Forward looking am I in Starwars talk!
Cam believe I’m up for the read Ttganks again Tom I’m sure we all appreciate very much you organising these much appreciated sessions.
