Writing your own book is a difficult and sometimes daunting task. But it can be quite satisfying and rewarding. Many who have written books have also self-published using services such as Lulu. And that’s great.

Audio Book

Have you ever determined producing audio books?

You should. There are a number of advantages to selling audio books including less competition. Plus it’s legitimately easy to do.

The easiest way is of procedure to simply hire man to read your book for you. Companies are ready which will hire the voice actor, supply the music, make the recording, edit the effect and then package it. Whether as a particular source or by outsourcing portions.

But it isn’t that difficult to do it yourself if you wish. All it takes is a good potential set of headphones, a computer and the standard software. Three things and you’re ready to start.

But what if you don’t have the voice for recording?

One choice you have is to hire a voice actor. This is an actor who is comfortable using their voice alone to transport emotion. Think radio announcer. Or think animation. If you are as old as I am you might even remember radio theatre. While voice actors tend to have more work than original players they still can be found reasonably inexpensively.

Another choice is to use a friend or family member. If they have a good sounding voice they may be able to do a passable recording for you.

So how do you make a recording? Regardless of who is doing the reading?

The process begins with a good potential set of headphones. Don’t use a desktop microphone. Technically speaking a desktop or stick type microphone is an Omni directional microphone. It’s meant to pick up sounds from around the room. Sounds that come at it from all directions. Which is fine if you are development a consulation call but not so fine if you are trying to make a voice recording. Instead you need to use good potential headphones. This type of microphone will pick up your voice without a lot of extraneous noise.

You will need audio recording software such as Wavepad to make the actual recording. A product like Wavepad also has the advantage of helping you to edit the recording afterwards.

Once you have created the recording and edited it, you will need to originate a Cd. Tools such as Nero are good for this.

Of course, you aren’t going to want to originate the Cds yourself. Your print-on-demand publisher often will have a Cd creation facility. The easiest way is to originate Cds is to transmit the recording and artwork to them. However, if you wish there are Companies such as Cd-Fulfillment.com which will originate your Cds for you.

Audio books tend to be sold straight through the same sales chain as books. So you will need to advent the same people who are selling your books.
