Sweating Bullets: A Story About Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking
Dale Dixon · 2014
🎙 Narrated by Dale Dixon (self-narrated)
64/100
👎 Skip It
The business-fable format makes this an easier, more entertaining listen than a straight how-to, and Dixon's broadcast-anchor background should give the self-narration real polish. The 'award-winning' claim comes straight from the publisher and couldn't be independently confirmed, so take that with a grain of salt. It's a pleasant, story-driven listen, but a bit light on hard-won substance.

▶ Listen to a sample
🎙 Narration: good Self-narrated by a former TV news anchor who delivers 50-60 speeches a year — a broadcast background likely to produce a polished read, though no specific narration reviews were found.
