"Educational and Enlightening Book on Crafting Audiobooks...A Must-Read! This was a unique, educational, and thoughtful read. The short yet interesting read was the perfect companion read to any upcoming or published authors who are on a budget and seeking a way of bringing their book to the audiobook format. The attention to detail and personable way the author writes will set readers at ease and keep them invested throughout the book. The book was absolutely engaging on so many levels, but what really struck a chord with this reader was the step-by-step process that the author detailed in the book. The way the author explores everything from mental and psychological hangups about publishing your own audiobook, to the almost physical therapy style of education on vocal exercises, and does it in such a short amount of time, made this book such an important and engaging one for indie and published authors alike to have in their library. -Anthony Avina, Author, Blogger Perfect for anyone who wants to create an Audible When you decide to create an Audible for your book, get this book first. It explains the process of creating an Audible from conception to publication in a very easy and conversational way. With tips and tricks that show you how to make your audio sound pro, you will avoid many common mistakes, ensuring that you get your Audible right the first time. Perfect for newbies, but I also learned a few things, even though I'm familiar with sound production. -Stacy Dymalski, Best Selling Author 'Today many people are ""reading"" more than ever thanks to audiobooks' Canadian author Jennifer Lieberman earned her degree in Philosophy from York University, Toronto, Canada and in addition to writing she is an actress, appearing in stage productions in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Europe and Australia, a film producer, screenwriter and playwright. She has gained a large audience for her solo show - ""Year of the Slut"" - and her books YEAR OF THE WHAT?, MAKE YOUR OWN BREAK - HOW TO MASTER YOUR VIRTUAL MEETINGS, and this book HOW TO RECORD AND PUBLISH YOUR AUDIO BOOK. Writing in a format that directly addresses the reader (aka writer!), Jennifer address each stage of creating an audiobook, that ever more popular form of 'reading' a book while walking or running or while driving! ""Wow! You finished your book. That's really an incredible accomplishment. Most people have 'writing a book' on their bucket list, but you are one of the rare few that actually did it, that's why you're here. That's definitely worth a celebration in itself...I don't know about you, but when I first published my novel the most annoying question people would ask, before they even asked what the book was about, was ""is there an audiobook?"" Jennifer takes that opportunity to describe exactly - and accurately - to transform a manuscript into an audiobook. The quite easy steps presented are Yes, you can! (see above), Get your voice in shape, (breathing, articulation, resonance, tongue twister exercises), Set up to win, Smile- you're not on camera but you're still recording, Crowd control your characters, Editing and Exploring, and The finish line. Or as she states, ""It's going to take time and patience. Recording your book, reading your entire book aloud for the purpose of recording is a marathon. That's why it's important to prepare yourself and create a realistic schedule depending on the length of your book.' Every detail of the process of creating an audiobook is offered - including equipment needed such as microphone, pop screen, external hard drive, recording software - and the various steps and techniques to master."
