This is not a standard review; it is meant for those of you who are considering writing and producing their own audio book. If you are fickle and easily put off don’t try it, because it’s hard work. I am the writer, director and producer of this audio book. The story was developed from a radio play I had written. The play has been aired on several local radio stations. It was all dialogue so required some re-writing to make it suitable. Finding an appropriate recording studio wasn’t easy. Most of them specialise in bands. The one I used (John Brooks Studios) had a lot of experience with voice overs and rap artists, so he was ideal. The actors I found through a local agency. (Orla Cottingham, Robert Garrett.) Both of them are professional actors which made a huge difference to the quality of the recording and also saved time. (Professionals don’t fluff as often as amateurs.) Rather than just reading the script (like a weather report) they acted it – big difference. The recording took 4 days. I could have done it quicker, but I was after quality. Plus, it made it a stress less 4 days which I really enjoyed. The final job was the editing, which seemed to go on for ever. John Brooks, the studio owner, was a big help in this. He kept me sane. All the above is all very good, but of course it costs. The whole thing came slightly over £2,000. ($2600) I could afford it at the time because I was working. Now I’m on “gardening leave” so things are different. The whole process goes on and, on and, on and……but you do finally get there. I promise you will get there. When that happens, you will look back on it and say “Yes, that was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life.” I want to record another one of my books, but it takes money. The way things are I will have to sell some books before I can afford the cost. If anyone would like to share their thoughts occasionally, I’m on 3rdpersonPOV@gmail.com Cheers
