Lessons from recording an audiobook

from The EMMA LOVELL Show · host Emma Lovell

How do you record an audiobook? In this behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing the real experience of recording not one, but two audiobooks, and the lessons that came with it. From navigating grief and timing, to investing $6,000 per book, to learning how different reading is from speaking a story out loud … this journey stretched me in ways I didn’t expect. You’ll hear: - What it actually takes to record an audiobook - Why energy, timing and support matter more than you think - The surprising financial realities (and long-term rewards) - How trust, focus and doing one thing well changed everything I also share the emotional experience of bringing A Life of Magic, my 103 year old cousin Bill’s story, to life! And why audio was such an important medium for this book. If you’re thinking about writing a book, recording an audiobook, or simply want a peek behind the curtain of creative work… this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen now and step behind the mic with me.
