Audio is the up-and-coming market, but the price of entry can be a horrific 300-500 dollars 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”.

This is one of those times that I set out to learn something with the thought that it would further my goals, only to find out that this is not something I want to do after all.

In fairness, this book is jam packed with useful, actionable content delivered in a concise, entertaining manner.

But my biggest takeaway is that recording an audiobook is vastly more work than I'm willing to put into it and it's not a process nor a skillset that I would enjoy.

However, it has gone a long way toward helping me to appreciate the amount of work that goes into an audiobook as well as the challenges. And I think just maybe I might have a better understanding now of the sorts of things I should provide to my narrators in preparation for having a book recorded.
