Audiobook Production tips from top-tier talent

After the raw recording is finalized, I'll always go through it in my audio editor to look at the waveform for any breaths or mouth noises and remove them.

Technically speaking, the best practice to integrate SFX and/or music in an audiobook is to record it in stereo, with the SFX and music set off about 20° from center on both sides.

A controlled, consistent, dedicated recording space that blocks out exterior sounds, controls reverberations within, and is comfortable to record in for long spells.

Keeping listeners engaged in an audiobook is all about variety and connection. I make sure to switch up pacing and tone to match the mood—fast and intense for action, slower for emotional scenes
