Recording the audiobooks!

Open the door to the tiny soundproofed room. Enter solitary confinement. Close door one and door two. Stare at the large microphone. Don't rustle your clothes! Inhale off to the side! Don't smack your lips! No loud swallowing! Extraneous noises are verboten. Remember which character has which voice, and hey--who wrote sentences with so many "s" sounds? "She slid sideways..." --for heaven's sake!
