Summary

Today's question comes from Kris and Kit, who ask about recording audiobooks. What advice do you have for recording? Should you do it yourself or hire someone? Kris and Kit's site is http://gomousescouts.com/. I have used Upwork for finding a voiceover artist (http://askpat.com/upwork). I recorded Let Go (http://askpat.com/let-go) and Will It Fly? (http://www.askpat.com/willitfly) myself. For audiobooks, I love Audible (http://www.audible.com/). Do you have a question about recording audiobooks? Record it at http://www.askpat.com/.

0:42.2	for you is about your audiobooks. So for your first book, I seem to remember you recording it
0:48.1	yourself and then going with a professional voiceover artist for the final iteration.
0:52.8	For your new book, Will It Fly?
