AMA About Producing Scifi Audio Books angielski
I talked about this a couple of weeks ago on the Microblog - I've produced a number of audio short stories out of my scifi shorts and the process is a journey unto itself. I thought people would like to see how it works so I'm doing an AMA to celebrate the launch of my next audio short - THE ROCKET.
This isn't just 'a veneer for a book promo.' Audio book production is fun, but work, and people have asked 'How hard is it, how does it feel, what’s surprising about it, what are the motivations behind it?' I'll answer that in a reply to this post.
I've described the process before on Imgur - here are the first two steps:

First, there's having an idea and turning it into a story. The Battle of Victoria Crater was based on my ideas of what a space western would look like in the 21st century, now that we know so much about Mars, space travel, and Elon Musk. I wrote Victoria Crater in 2019 and decided to turn it into an audiobook in 2022. Onto the next step:

Next step - find a voice actor and work out a way for you to work together. In this case - after a quick audition, I found Jeremiah Jones (@JeremiahJonesVO) - a voice actor on the East Coast who was willing to work together with me on a profit-sharing agreement. Both of us are up-and-coming artists and we've learned the value of sticking together while chasing our dreams. I give Jeremiah the story, and he starts working on what the characters sound like ...
Meantime, I'm going to finish doing some internal work on the Youtube channel. I can answer questions about audio book production while I wait for stuff to upload. AMA!
