One of my projects this year is to record an audio version of The Golden Ticket. Since it's a memoir, I think it would be weird to have someone else read it (though of course having me, a person who knows nothing about audio books, read it could be far weirder). I've done some preliminary research but I'm in the very early stages. We should definitely talk. The one takeaway I've gotten is that trying to create a home recording studio is a nightmare unless you are married to a sound engineer, which one of my memoirist friends happens to be. Lucky her.
I'm no sound engineer, but I'm gonna guess... no? Unless you want to set up in a blanket-draped closet, which I believe some people have done and more power to them and further proof everyone has their own mishegas, as my grandmother used to say.
Do you mean the audio book for "The Nesting Dolls?" That was done by the publisher, it didn't cost me anything. As for my next book, haven't done it yet, so don't know! Will keep everyone posted.
You have a charming intelligent voice and I think it would add credibility to your audio book. .
I like to listen to audio books only traveling in a car. Otherwise I, like you. read quickly, skim and find audio books too slow

So you're saying the background sounds of my apartment's heating going on and off and the neighbors' toilets flushing won't cut it?

Was it expensive? I'm considering do ing this...but first i have to get people to notice my book!
