Recording Your First Audiobook
This illustrated PDF guide is a "must-have" if you want to start recording audiobooks as a hobby, create a substantial passive income stream, or turn your own self-published book into an audiobook.
When I first started narrating audiobooks I wrote down every step in the process so that I could work from a simple guide each time I took on another audiobook project, rather than trying to commit all of the steps to memory. This book contains all of those steps in order, so it is perfect for the absolute beginner.
What will you need to get started?
You will need a basic computer capable of running the free software program, Audacity, and an external microphone (which can be purchased inexpensively from Amazon.com or your local music store.) I go over equipment recommendations in the book - my goal is to help you get started as inexpensively and simply as possible.
What's in it for you?
My goal in writing this book is to show you each step in the audiobook creation process. But you won't just learn how to press record and speak into a microphone. I walk you through setting up your ACX account, downloading and using your software, setting up your recording space, finding book projects, recording your audiobook, editing your files, and uploading your book to ACX.
I don't leave you guessing on any of the steps, from the very beginning all the way up until your book is available for sale on Audible and iTunes.
Here's what you'll learn:
--> How to set up a recording space in your own home,
--> What equipment you’ll need to get started,
--> How to get set up with “ACX” or the Audiobook Creation Exchange (they’re owned by Amazon and are quickly becoming one of the biggest players in the audiobook production game),
--> How to create a narrator profile and audition for narration jobs,
--> You’ll also learn the different payment structures available to narrators as well as how to track sales and payments,
--> The second half of this book is dedicated to walking you through the recording and production process from beginning to end; you’ll learn everything you need to do to record, edit, master and upload your audiobook so that it meets the high quality standards set by ACX,
--> This book also covers what to do in certain situations like addressing revision requests from the author or ACX, and much, much more...
