Saturday, May 30, 2026, 2 pm to 4 pm Joe Mahoney Record your Own Audio Books The goal of this workshop is to provide a practical overview of how to make an audiobook, based on my experience working as a recording engineer for CBC Radio and recording my own audiobooks. We will discuss the equipment you'll need, the preparation required, and how to record your audiobook in your own home studio, which doesn't have to be anything fancy. We'll also talk about the performance, the edit, how to "master" your audiobook, and what distributors like Audible and Findaway Voices are looking for in terms of quality control. |
