YURP! Nothing replaces PRO Quality equipment + studio environment. LOVE the #BTS you Share with us @PAt Flynn ! Especially how you share your oh-so-very-serious beginning as you started recording your audio book. 21 Gigawatts baybay!!! ~ @COACHDEB Cole
Benefits of recording in a studio: 3:09 Studio engineer can assist you with the format. 3:45 You can focus on talking. 4:14 The audio engineer can help you with grammar, pronunciation and such.
I love that you filmed this! It does such a great job of illustrating the sound difference. A lot of authors underestimate how hard it is to create an awesome audiobook, and if you have the budget for it, a studio with the right team makes all the difference. It's worth noting that it's important to get a studio/team that specializes in the spoken word. We've had some weird results come out of studios that are primarily for music recording. It isn't just about a studio, it's about the right studio and team for the best results. Thanks for this!! I'm going to share this to my newsletter because I think it will really help a lot of authors make a more informed decision. Cheers.
Studio West was where I became a recording engineer back in 1974. I worked there doing commercials and recorded a whole bunch of great tracks for a rock opera called “The Pauper” that won the KPRI Battle of The Bands in 1978. I think they had a 16-track Stevens 2” recorder back then.
Love at you talk about at-home options even though you use a real studio! I also like how to talk about what it takes to train the voice to do this on a regular basis wihtout getting tired. Great video!
Tell me the book starts with a Pat rap! Great video and excellent points. We've got a couple here in Nashville but never thought about just going in to do it. Adding that to the list now.
I’m considering which to do right now actually. This is super relevant. I recorded my own audiobooks for my first 2 books and they are very successful but I met a local audio guy at the park randomly that has a set up for audio book recording. You know one thing they funnily enough comes up for my is burping. For whatever reason when I’m trying to record precise audio, I have to edit out a bunch of burps. Odd, but I was wondering how things like that are handled in a professional session
So glad you enjoyed watching. :) Thanks for the comment! You won the SPI pin giveaway for this video! Shoot an email to pat@smartpassiveincome.com and we’ll get you hooked up! 🙌🏼 For everyone else tuning in, be sure to subscribe to get notifications when new videos are posted!
Totally agree, im an engineer thats recorded many books with people, and having that second set of ears to catch mistakes is key. My question, you stand to record your whole book!?? why???
Love the inside scoop. Thanks for sharing about your experience. Can't wait for the book.....because we ARE SuperFans! And by the way, nice victory dance! :) -TheCrunchyCouple
Thanks for another energetic behind-the-scenes Pat! Looking forward to Superfans - as Will It Fly? has really inspired me and the friends I have shared with. To continued success! Gino
Such a cool experience to watch! Thanks, Pat, and can't wait for Super Fans! I would love to learn more about the vocal training you mentioned. Definitely something I think I need for my podcast 👌
I literally hired a vocal coach on Twitter I got into a conversation with. She lives in Australia, and we got on Skype each week to train. Lots of breathing and singing exercises - it was so fun! Kerri Ho is her name from The Song Bird Tree.
Thanks for sharing the BTS Pat. I'm busy recording an audiobook and getting really frustrated with the amount of mistakes I'm making. It's really helpful to get a different perspective.
Hi Pat, I tried to order the book a few weeks ago but amazon would not sell to Australia. I don’t really care about the book but I’d love the audio book which is the way I like to go through my books... can you help? Loved seeing this process, never knew what happened behind the scenes! Thanks for sharing!
Anyone else notice the immediate sound quality change as soon as I entered the studio, versus walking in the hallway at the start?

I'd like to hear the difference between a home set-up and a studio recording

When you record no soda or carbonated drinks. Tea and water only.
Loved this behind the scenes, Pat! I pre-ordered last week and can't wait to get the audiobook.
So glad you enjoyed watching. :)

why NOT?
I ask :)
now he doesn't have to go to the gym on audio book reading days :D
@@CoachDeb Ouuu that is a good point, didn't think about that! haha I am convinced!
Just preordered - looking forward to the audiobook. As always, best of luck to you, Pat!
Will be waiting to hear that song on your audiobook. LOL
Guaranteed not. 😅

@@patflynn oh wow! Thanks so much 😊

Thanks for the video, I'm learning but have a long way to go.
Can I buy the book somewhere?
Hello self publishing school,
I want to produce an audio format of my book. I have a low budget- about $100- what do I do?
Hi Pat, I tried to order the book a few weeks ago but amazon would not sell to Australia. I don’t really care about the book but I’d love the audio book which is the way I like to go through my books... can you help? Loved seeing this process, never knew what happened behind the scenes! Thanks for sharing!
What about recording apps?
If you make a mistake, do you go back to the beginning of the sentence or the paragraph?
It depends, but usually just the start of that sentence.
Love YT algorithms. As I'm planning my next book to be audio only this pops up.
I love audiobooks. I have a hard time focusing while reading.
This video is very helpful. Thank you 🙏
Wow this answer a question I recently on audible books! This is really cool!
It is always good to get an expert
Thanks, that was cool :)
Haha! Audio book by the author is so much better than a random person reading it.
Love 💯
