Narrate and Record Your Own Audiobook: a simplified guide

Description

(Revised 2023 to include Hindenburg Narrator) Audio is the up-and-coming market, but the price of entry can be a horrific $300-500 per finished hour and up. M. L. Buchman has recorded and published over 30 audio titles—himself. Here he covers the basics you need to record your own audiobooks. • How to decide if it’s the best option. • When you should outsource the engineering. • Why you’re wrong when you “hate your own voice.” • Tools, techniques, and free studio space ideas. • A step-by-step guide to recording and engineering your own audiobook. • How to quantify direct, and most importantly of all, indirect costs. This simplified guide delivers the confidence to tackle the unique opportunity of “Read by Author.”
