This is a must-have course if you want to make an audiobook. Derek is great at explaining everything you need to know, and I feel confident about recording my first audiobook after going through the course. You will get tips on recording, setting up your recording space, and even feedback on your recording. This has great value and made my recording go from okay to great. I highly recommend this course.
Great and informative course. Derek does a good job of being professional without being condescending to amateurs. The best part of the course is his willingness to answer questions and address problems personally. His responses are always friendly and prompt. Terrific service.
As audiobooks become increasingly popular and we see sales in that format increase, the idea of recording and editing audio files might begin to speak to you. However, the technical know-how needed feels overwhelming to think about let alone taking on another huge publication expense. I took Derek’s course four years ago and since then have produced three audiobooks from his teachings. It gets easier and the quality improves with each effort. The audiobook format has definitely increased my revenue through both Amazon.com and Audible.com. Providing free listening access, which you can set up on the NEW Google Sites for the readers, creates a terrific lead magnet that can accompany the purchase of your eBook or Print book. It has definitely added to the number of sales I get. Readers see this as a huge plus and “incentive” to buy my book over others in the same category. It also adds their name to your growing mailing list. Derek’s course starts with the basic equipment and setup needs and leads you through each step of the process. He is always available for questions or coaching. Just like anything new we learn, there is a learning curve but Derek’s course will help you produce a quality audiobook that will meet the ACX standards required. I highly recommend his course. But if you are worried about not sounding professional and worrying about the sound of your voice–don’t because once you put in a few hours of practice, sit tall and take on a confident mindset, that is what will shine through.
