I’m Jenny Hoops, and I’ve produced thousands of audiobooks and articles for Audible, all from my cozy home studio that used to be a storage closet. I recorded and edited my first audiobook just before I turned 50, and I learned from the pros how to get the best sound and use the same software the studio professionals use. And if I could learn how to do it, starting out knowing nothing about the tech or the industry standards, so can you.

Deep Dive into Audacity (Episode 11)

Step-by-Step Guide for Authors to record their book using Audacity

"I'm intimidated by the software" - said almost every author I've ever worked with. If the software was easier to use, I know more authors would be willing to record their own audiobooks.

I want to break down barriers to audiobooks for authors, and it seems like many, many authors hit this particular technological barrier. One of the simplest, easiest-to-use recording programs, that has punch & roll capability, is Audacity, available at https://www.audacityteam.org

So, let's break down, step-by-step and click-by-click, how to record your audiobook, using the popular (and free!) audiobook recording software program Audacity. It's easier than you think!

In this episode you'll learn how to, using Audacity:

  • Download the software
  • Test your recording levels
  • Push the right buttons to record, stop, and punch & roll
  • Save your audio files so they don't get out of order
  • Connect better with your listeners, by pacing your reading
