The Audiobook Production Process

I've directed dozens of audiobooks over the last few years, and really enjoy the process. For those who like literature, it can be a truly rewarding livelihood.

The audiobook production process is complicated, with a lot of steps and decision points along the way. Choosing the narrator, tone, and recording process are all crucial decisions. Preparing before the recording sessions is critical to a successful and smooth-running production process. And dialog editing and mastering during the post-production phase are also critically important.

Though it is not about synthesizers or electronic music, I decided to document my experience in making audiobooks here. If you are interested in audiobooks as a living, whether as a narrator, a voice director, or recording engineer, then this video is for you.

Here is the excellent audiobook production software I discuss in the video:
