Overview

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