      It could be a fun project with a few friends even if your book isn't done!

    I’ve made a book trailer for my novel, The Birdshack Redemption, which is a retelling of The Shawshank Redemption with bird characters . I used my own drawings of the birds and my own voice- but people said it was amateurish!

    You offer some good advice on book trailers. One suggestion: Your own narration is diminished significantly by constant use of vocal fry. I would suggest that you do everything possible to rid yourself of that habit. Vocal coaches can often help.

    Hah. "Your author website". Yeah I'm not that good an author yet.
    The rest of the video was genuinely helpful though, I do have an idea for a trailer for the novel I'm writing!

      I loved this. It’s simple but very effective. The background score matches the theme and I like way you’ve shown the different snippets with a still background. Also the font is good.

  • @danmacdonaldbooks4774

    I used Fivvr before that was OK but I felt it look amateurish and cookie cuter. What I mean by that is. they all use the same background, music, etc. So what you have is on style and they used it for all the clients and are not willing to change anything because it can't be changed, so they use the same one for every client. They show the book over and over again throughout the trailer. that is like beating the reader with the book and saying, "Buy my books. Buy my book!" It's not a good way to go. As she said in this video once at the end is ok but not showing the cover over and over again throughout the trailer. That is just what I learned in college in production classes.
    Also, you wonder are these people really professional? most of them are from poor counties, The Middle East. I will not use them again. I have a media animation degree and I think I could produce hight quality produce that. You can see what I mean on my page on youtube. That is only my thoughts and opinion

    I hate the music behind your voice.

  • @drawntofashionillustration9596

    The editing is a bit distracting, stop start stop start. Not very smooth.
