My Author Brand — Recording an Audiobook
Recording an audiobook has unique challenges.
Back in college, I was a DJ on both campus radio stations.
One of the stations — with a full FM broadcast signal — was one of the most popular in the college town. Even the larger university in town didn’t have a following nor presence as we did.
I LOVED being a DJ. In fact, I had the privilege of working for pay — during the summer before my senior year and that winter break — to keep the station going. Additionally, I was production manager my senior year — and most of the PSAs were recorded by me.
Unlike many — who cannot stand how weird their recorded voice sounds — I know my own quite well. Though it took me a long time to get on the bandwagon, a couple of years ago I began podcasting regularly.
As a reader, I have a ton of respect for audiobooks. I have listened to most of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series on various road trips, for example. As I wrote previously, I consider listening to an audiobook to still be reading said book.
