Audiobooks discussion

One for the authors like me out there who have either recorded or wish to record an audiobook.

I am attempting to self-record an audiobook version of my novel so that it complies with ACX. I wondered if anyone had done this and what their key tips are.

For those who are even less familiar with ACX than me, ACX stands for Audiobook Creation Exchange and is a marketplace for professional narrators, authors, agents, publishers and rights holders to connect and create audiobooks.

Hi, I have never done this nor wanted to, but my SO was thinking about it. does info in these links help you at all?

Good luck and hope you enjoy the process

There's also a subreddit for acx folks that you might find helpful.

Look up ACX University videos on YouTube.

Thanks all. I have my homework :-)

It seems to me that professional sound recording should be done using professional equipment. Pure sound is not just a best cheap microphones review https://likesfinder.com/blog/the-best..., because the sound processor must be preempted and noise canceled.

I'm a voice over artist as well as an author. My key tip is to consciously vary your vocal tone to match the sentence and phrase being read. You'd be surprised how easy it is to slip into a more monotone voice.
