How to create a basic audiobook with Audacity.
There are many free Audacity tutorials on the web. This is for an author that does not want to spend money on studio-grade microphones or building a soundproof room. As YouTube has demonstrated, a lot can be accomplished with basic tools. You can download Audacity for free, HERE (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/).
You will need at the least, a set of over-the-ear headphones with a built-in boom microphone. You don’t want to try and record with the microphone that is built into your webcam.
Also do not expect to get it perfect the first time. You are going to make mistakes and practice makes perfect. Don’t start with a 100k word novel. For your first few experiments, record a page or three of short story or poetry.
Once you finish a few minutes of finished product, you can proudly upload it to share with the world.
Don’t be afraid to experiment and learn. It’s actually a fun process...
Here's the rest of the story :) (http://masteranthonystevens.com/tech-support/audacity-for-ebooks/)
