How do you eat an elephant?

I promised to post this news just as soon as I could, so it is with great delight and more than a little relief that I write the following.

A couple of hours ago the executive producer of the Bible recording project sent out an email to each of us on the team to let us know the entire project has now been mixed, mastered and delivered to Thomas Nelson Publishers. Yes, this means that, one bite at a time, the elephant has now been consumed. We started in early September 2007. Our final pick-up session was earlier this week.

At 774,000 works (approximately) to say that it has truly been a massive project is a bit of an understatement. It’s also been an amazing, stretching and humbling experience for me. In the best possible way. It’s also been tremendously encouraging, because I now know there is nothing in the voiceover world that is too difficult to accomplish. There may be things beyond my ability. (I really don’t do women’s voices well at all.) But, there’s nothing to large, complex or technical.

  2. Liz,

    Thank you. I am starting work on another audiobook project, but it’s on a much smaller scale.

    Be well,
    Bob

  3. Well…I think ANYTHING you do from now on will be “on a much smaller scale!” ;-)

    Peace!

  5. Hey Bob -

    I wonder why 1 Peter 1:25 comes to mind:
    “but the word of the Lord lasts forever… Now this word is the good news that was announced to you.”

    And just think: We now have a version of The Word “announced” by Bob Souer!

    So, what are the residuals on announcing the good news on this “forever account”? … No matter. I think we all know that you and your soul are blessed beyond measure in your service to the King in this most worthy of things to be promoted.

    And, Bob, when can this audio Bible start being downloaded to our iPods?

  6. Wow, that is really amazing Bob! Congratulations are forever in order!

    Do you have any word on when we may be able to purchase a copy of this massive project? My wife and I would love to have something like this for our family.

  7. Charlie and Russ,

    Just as soon as I get the word from the producers about how Thomas Nelson plans to make this audio Bible available, I’ll be sure to post the details here and everywhere else I can find.

    Be well,
    Bob
