Audacity Voice Over and Audiobook Narration for Voices & ACX

Audacity Voice Over and Audiobook Narration for Voices & ACX, Learn to use the free Audacity software to record and edit voice over and audiobooks for marketing via Voices and ACX.

I recommend that most self-published authors avoid audiobook creation due to the amount of time required away from writing and the potential for incurring substation publication expenses.  However, if you feel that it’s time to either record or publish your own audiobook on Amazon/Audible/iTunes, then this course will show you how to either hire a narrator or narrate your book yourself.

This course explains how to use the Audiobook Connection Exchange (ACX) to either hire a book narrator or upload a book that you have narrated yourself using the free Audacity audio software product.  You can narrate and publish your audiobook for free on Amazon, Audible and iTunes or hire a professional narrator on ACX to do it for you.  Note that narrating a book yourself requires a good voice and potential investment in a quality microphone.

I’ve personally narrated and published 2 audiobooks myself and have hired narrators via ACX to publish 2 additional audiobooks.  I’ve made barely enough money back from my 4 audiobooks to cover the expense of publishing them.  This is why I don’t recommend that beginning self-published writers take time away from their writing to pursue this route of publication.  However, if you’re ready to expand your distribution options while having a lot of fun, then I strongly recommend you consider the contents of this course.

I’ll see you in the classroom,
