What makes Audiobook Editing Feel Complex?
Before you start, you may assume audiobook narration is just about recording your voice.
When you get into the field, you are overwhelmed by the things you need to get right.
For example, recording your voice correctly is just the beginning. You have to edit it to meet every requirement for the audiobook platform (Audible, ACX, etc.).
Editing may feel too technical, or you may not get it right, whatever you do blindly.
Understanding the technical requirements can also be challenging.
Because you will find some concepts you never heard of.
What is the solution then?
In an ideal scenario, you would read the book in front of a microphone and then be done. With some proper planning and practice, you can get close to it.
This Audiobook Narration Bundle is exactly designed to give you that skill as a beginner.
It is designed to meet all the technical requirements even though you are not technical.
How it Works?
Each element in the Bundle plays an important role
-
The Audacity Course is a beginner friendly course. It helps you to get up and running with Audacity smoothly.
-
But a Course alone is never sufficient. Because a course is a passive style learning material. You won't really learn the things unless you do it on your own. You will get 20 Audiobook Assignments that would take 10-15 minutes to complete each. You will get feedback after each submission. After completing the assignments audio editing will become a part of your skill
-
It is possible to put all complex processing in Audacity inside a macro and process the recording just in a click. If the recording quality is good enough, it will even fulfil ACX standards

Testimonials
Steven D. Webber, Author
As a writer, I was asked to provide audio versions of what I have written. This was more of a daunting task than learning the principles of writing a book or blog. Knowing little, I asked a friend who is a sound engineer and he loaned me a Sennheiser HMD 25 broadcaster headset and told me to use Audacity for recording and editing. New equipment, new software, a NEW adventure.
Started recording and then fumbling around with Audacity when I saw an ad for Master Editor providing training for Audacity oriented towards beginners endeavoring to produce audio files of writing or blogs. The price was better than good so I signed up.
The Master Editor breaks it down into beginner steps and also provides a bunch of macros that can be used with Audacity that can simplify the whole process of correcting and balancing my audio.
One of my particular challenges is that I am losing my hearing so the graphic interface that Audacity uses along with personal feedback has been EXTREMELY helpful.
Lee McLaughlin, Voice Actor & Audiobook Narrator
This new venture of voice acting is most certainly an exciting one! The biggest discovery/surprise for me is that the #1 most important element in building this small voice-over business is quality recording.
Yes, much more so than how your voice sounds or even your acting abilities. On this element of audio quality, I have to give mega kudos and praise to Akhtar Uz Zaman, creator of Master Editor, a course designed to help voice artists and others who are using either Audacity or Adobe Audition. Both are downloadable software apps that enable a narrator to deliver high-quality recordings and the ability to edit them, and meet the specific audio requirements of a given client.
While currently taking the Master Editor course, Akhtar has, candidly, been enormously helpful in a 'Lifeguard' metaphor providing guidance in not only using Audacity but calibrating it to my PC, and helping me make the most of my recording environment which can be a challenge for any of us using a home studio- as am I. I'm super stoked I'm taking his course and am very proud to share my praise here in working with him and the Master Editor brand!
