Chatmosa Session - Interview with Robert Lane
In the latest installment of our Chatmosa series, we had the pleasure of speaking with Robert Lane, a multifaceted creative whose journey spans from musician to successful author coach and entrepreneur. This engaging session delved into Robert’s rich background in the entertainment industry, his insightful views on the audiobook market, and his passion for empowering nonfiction authors to narrate their own stories.
The conversation commenced with an exploration of Robert's early years as a musician. Reflecting on his teenage years, Robert recalled, "When we all start, we're not very, we're not very good. We gotta develop our craft." From performing at local events as a member of a band named Voyager to releasing multiple albums, Robert conveyed a genuine love for the arts and an unwavering commitment to his creative pursuits. The highlights of his musical journey were interspersed with laughter and nostalgia as he shared personal anecdotes, illustrating the importance of chasing dreams unapologetically.
Transitioning from music to his professional career, Robert recounted his time at 20th Century Fox, where he adapted to various roles following unexpected layoffs. He emphasized the theme of resilience throughout his career trajectory: "Doors open for you...you have to be open to receive opportunity." This wisdom resonated deeply as he highlighted how setbacks often serve as gateways to new ventures. After leaving Fox, Robert launched his coaching business, where he now devotes his efforts to helping authors craft and narrate their audiobooks.
A significant portion of our discussion revolved around the benefits of authors narrating their own work. Robert passionately stated, "No one on this planet can tell that story better than the author." This perspective underlines the unique connection authors have to their material—an element that enhances the authenticity of the audiobook experience. He provides a structured, supportive environment for aspiring narrators through his coaching program, where he guides them from preparation to the final recording process.
Listeners were eagerly engaged by Robert’s actionable insights, particularly on overcoming self-doubt related to performance. He wisely noted that many authors hesitate to use their own voices due to insecurities, but asserted, "You need to understand: as an author, you are an entrepreneur." This powerful statement encourages authors to embrace their narratives and to view themselves as unique voices in a crowded market.
Another important conversation point involved the tools and techniques employed during his coaching sessions. From high-quality microphones and headsets provided as part of his program to strategy sessions focusing on mindset, Robert equips his clients with everything needed to succeed. He emphasized the importance of creating a comfortable recording space and treating the narration process as an opportunity to express one's authentic self rather than merely reciting text.
One listener asked about the best time of day for recording, to which Robert replied, "It’s subjective. Some do best in the morning, others in the afternoon." This personalized approach underscores the need for authors to find their own rhythm and comfort zone while recording.
As we wrapped up the session, Robert extended an invitation to composers and authors considering audiobook production, reminding them of the emotional power inherent in sharing their stories. His closing thought perfectly encapsulated the essence of the dialogue: "There are a lot of stories out there that are definitely worth telling."
This Chatmosa session not only offered valuable insights into the audiobook production process but also inspired a deeper appreciation for the author's voice—an essential asset in sharing knowledge and experiences that resonate with readers. As the discussion progressed, it became evident that Robert Lane is not just coaching authors in technical skills; he is fostering a community of storytellers who are ready to share their unique narratives with the world.
