The Audiobook Studio Doesn’t Have to Be a Studio

TAKE

One of the most interesting things happening in audiobook production isn’t just the growth of the format. It’s the changing idea of where an audiobook can be made.

For Jamie Weatherly’s memoir, Unloaded, from SPARK Publications, we used a local library as part of the recording environment while 23dB Productions provided the in person engineering and production support.

That experience reinforces something we see again and again: the best recording location isn’t necessarily the most expensive studio. It’s the location where the storyteller can perform comfortably while the production team has enough control to capture professional-quality audio.

WHY IT MATTERS

Authors and publishers don’t always have easy access to traditional recording studios. Travel, scheduling, cost, and availability can quickly become barriers to getting a book into audio.

Remote production changes that equation.

With the right microphone, interface, recording environment, engineering oversight, and workflow, production can happen much closer to the author.

For publishers and authors working to expand their catalogs, that flexibility can mean more recording opportunities and fewer logistical bottlenecks.

YOUR MOVE

Don’t start with the question, “Where’s the nearest studio?”

Start with:

“What does this storyteller need to deliver their best performance?”

Then build the production system around that answer.

Quote It

“The best recording environment isn’t always the most expensive room. It’s the environment that allows the story to come through.”

Purpose
