A clean recording is what gets your audiobook accepted and keeps listeners happy. You do not need a studio — just good habits.
Recording
- Quiet space. A small, soft-furnished room (or a closet of clothes) tames echo.
- Consistent mic distance and a steady speaking pace.
- Record per chapter so files map to chapters cleanly — see how to upload an audiobook.
Editing
- Remove noise, long silences, mouth clicks, and mistakes.
- Keep volume consistent across chapters (normalise levels).
- Leave a short, even pause at the start and end of each file.
Exporting
- Export MP3 or M4A per chapter at a good bitrate.
- Name files so the order is obvious (01, 02, 03…).
