ONE OF THE BEST TUTORALS FOR AUDIOBOOK RECORDING. MAYBE THE BEST!

First step before recording: get a haircut !

This is pretty much exactly like my process. The only difference is I use a Kanban style tracking system (Trello). But tracking is essential!

Omg, thank you so much for this step by step breakdown. I've been so intimidated by this process, and this video helped a ton 🤗

I loved it. I am the target audience who grew up on sci fi and fairy tales. Reminded me somewhat of Angela Carter.

Amazing!

Do you read with the glottal stop instead of pronouncing 't' sounds? (For example, @20:35 you said "sen'ence" [instead of "sentence"] twice.) This appears to be a speech impediment introduced from "Valley Girl" speech that affects multiple-syllable words that end in /ən/ or /ənz/ (or /əns/), like "mountain[s]," "button[s]" and "sentence" and occasionally even shows up in accented syllables, with more prominent vowels, such as "wanted" (=> "wan'id").

Amazing video friend!!! For anyone looking to start audiobooks or voice acting. This is one of the best videos you can watch and take notes from. Even though i have well over 40 hrs of recording, i still find myself rewatching this video for directions, tips, and where i can improve. Thank you!!

No spoilers - you literally gave spoilers in the opening quote.

This is probably the most helpful video on RUclips ever. Thank you so much, it's exactly what I was looking for and more.

Bruh you can’t even talk an objectively about the book without whining about politics. Go touch grass bozo.

This video is more about you then the book, thanks for nothing.

Absolutely incredible resource! You're an absolute gem for breaking this down the way you did and empowering authors with this information ❤️

The middle section of the book (where Mandela goes back to Earth) is one of the most haunting portrayals of the future I’ve ever seen in media

What i learned from this video: - You are liberal from USA - You are OK with homosexual people - Story "The Forever War" is about war

Great advice. And I do like the Jane Austin quote. 😊 Stopping midsentence may trigger the "Zeigarnik Effect", which claims, that started but unfinished thoughts keep a higher level of energy thus forcing the brain to thrive towards completion.

Translator rocks!! She recommends the fish sauce, btw.

This is such a comprehensive but still easy to understand tutorial. I've used audacity before and done short audio recordings for websites before but just the idea of recording and editing an entire audiobook seemed so daunting. I was really reluctant to even try this but now I'm already ordering a mic and keen to give it a go.

Super helpful!! Thank you so much

This is very helpful information. Thank you for including all of these details and links and everything.

Greg Bear's writing seems to lack balance & flow. Of his books, I've read Forge of God, which turned out to be more humanist/thriller than SF, & the somewhat more interesting Blood Music, which has a similar apocalyptic theme, & an indifferent lifeform that devastates the human race. As far as writing quality, Bear is no Dan Simmons, Robert Silverberg, or Kim Stanley Robinson. Those three are much more compelling.

Honestly, the size of this fandom is almost painfully small and seeing you talk about it such a way and expressing many of the same thought that I had while and after reading the same book, is really amazing

This video should have ten million views

Your video is amazing. Thank you. I'm running into a problem that is making the ACX check not pass. I think it is because Audacity 3.6 has a new limiter with different values than the one in your video. Do you happen to know the correct values for it? So far none of the fiddling I've done has helped.

Hi Neal! Dan from Sandia here. It was interesting to hear your take on the Radch Trilogy. You made some good points, and your presentation was great. When I read it, I was really wondering what was going on for the first ten or fifteen pages, but then I caught on to the the slow drumbeat of Ancillary Justice. From that point forward, I absolutely loved the whole trilogy. It gives me hope for SF that doesn't rely on endless space battles and thriller-style pacing. LOL.

Great video! Excited to read the third book! ✨

I read and loved this book when it first came out in the 80s. It’s an all-time favorite of mine, though others might respond differently. For years, I eagerly awaited sequels. Those sequels were slow to show up. The author wrote God Stalk while in graduate school and only returned fully to writing after having an academic career and then retiring. The remainder of the series is a bit different (being mostly outside the stunning setting of Tai-tastigon). The series is somewhat rambling, but densely imaginative, with an endearing protagonist. I eagerly await every new chance to revisit the world.

You've provided the most comprehensive video out there. I've been looking for a good video that will explain what's important to know about Audacity to prepare it for recording, but you also provide great advice on everything else. Thank you for doing this!

I really liked the whole series and thought the hook carried the trilogy. I don't consider myself a sci-fi aficionado, but I am a fan and would recommend all books. The audiobook pronunciations and dialect helped understand the culture shock, at least to me.

Would i be better off using ableton to take advantage of using asio rather than audacity forcing me into using mme

Best solution I've found for the mouth noises is the Declicker plugin by Paul_L. Quite a bit better than the built in one but can still introduce a few aberrations. I've never used the "repair" tool before, interesting!

I used your brilliant advice and used the excellent find away voices for all 31 including audible. I did have to upload kindle book to Amazon to be allowed include Audible and supply the link. Today in second week I got notice of 3 more sites to add to 6 on which my book is listed including audible. It was great to be able to get it listed in so many places, including the big gorilla so easily.

I appreciate your review! And, I enjoyed this book. I was maybe 3/4 of the way through when I had the same thought . . . where's the octopus? I look forward to this author's next book. Thank you so much for your review 🐙

When you said "These numbers can go down with practice, but I found that they went up again as my standards got higher".... oof... I felt that, brother. ✊😔

Thank you so much for this in depth guide! I couldn't have found your video at a more perfect time. I was trying to find a video exactly like yours, but my searches kept leading me to the basics and that was honestly starting to make everything worse. Your video has singlehandedly made the entire daunting process a lot easier to understand.

Very, very useful. Thank you

Aamazing tutorial!! Thank you.

Thanks for the prep work. Also, interesting choice of gloves.

Thanks so much for these Audacity settings, this has helped a great deal with some of the time sinks I had whilst editing a chapter.

I also found drinking some honey in warm water, that helped my throat.

thank you thank you thank you for creating this video!! I'm about to record my first audiobook and had no idea how to do it, but I do use Audacity. I'm so glad I found your video.

You had me at [paraphrasing] 'production times will go down with practice... and then up again as you raise your standards!' Thank you for the great video.

Great video, I have the utmost respect for Al Yankovic

Hmm, I'm tempted to try it. I guess I've been having reading ADD lately. What do you think of Peter F Hamilton? You could say he has some bombastic action. (Pandora's Star/Judas Unchained or The Night's Dawn Trilogy).

Amazing tutorial, thank you brother

My question is how does the link which skips to a chapter come from?

I love the way you talk about these books will have to check them out they sound pretty compelling

OK then. Your usual enjoyable narrative with dog. Always a plus. I never read Axiom’s End, so a summary would have been helpful. But I get the general idea. First contact stories are always wishful thinking, because if there are aliens out there with spaceships that want to visit Earth, almost any scenario is believable because we know nothing about them. As you suggest they tend to be not so much about aliens, incomprehensible or otherwise, but about how we react to them. Are they just here to spread divine love? Blow us up? Hit us with a board with a nail in it? Aliens are like monsters; they’re mirrors we hold up to ourselves in a dark room. I was intrigued by April May, the disasterpiece, because I’m dealing with writing about a difficult character. I’m working on the scene where my main character Bonnie is transformed into a paranormal, and I realize it’s hard to write about a very traumatized character without making them seem pathetic. It’s been two years since she was nearly beaten to death in a horrifying place, and she’s still a mess physically, mentally, and emotionally. How do you write a character with that kind of past that audiences will like? How does a character overcome trauma, setbacks, or just being an asshole?

Great video! Glad to RUclips recommended it to me. Love your takes on those books.
