Creating Audiobook Samples for ACX

Hey guys! Let's do a runthrough on how to create an audiobook sample for ACX. Plus, some helpful tips that I have learned throughout my journey of audiobook narration and winning contracts on ACX.

Angela! You saved me with your videos. It has been a minute since I recorded an audiobook but your videos helped me "remember" small things. Thank you!!!!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Angela!

I'm doing my first sample tomorrow, so this was the perfect video for me tonight to pull tigethetall the things I've been learning and turn them into action? Thank you.

ok..my favorite part of this is, "here we go.."As he....*stumble" and then the face you make..the eyes...lol. I can so relate to this. Hilarious :)

Wow! Saw this earlier, but was neck deep in auditions all day, and consulting with an audio engineer. This video was made for me alone lol. I refuse to believe anything else lol. That part at the end about using your acx auditions and adding them to your audio samples is exactly what I do everyday lol. If there's no cap, my consolation prize for not getting a job is having more samples for potential future clients. Question to you, do you find yourself editing out breaths in between sentences or not? I have had audible for years, and never paid attention to whether narrators edited their breaths out or not for audiobooks. Does it even matter? Great video!

Hi, I'm only showing 4 amplitude statistics (the first four). Any idea how to see the rest?! Thanks so much - your videos are so helpful.

Hey Angela, thank you for this video! Do you have a video on setting up Adobe Audition?

[annieteeee]

Angela, thank you so much for these wonderful VERY helpful videos! I'm a professional actress wanting to jump a bit more into VO/Narration work and your vids have been amazing and inspirational. Thank you for your calm easy going nature and clear, straightforward explanations! Best of luck to you and cheers!

Hi Angela, How do we check room tone /noise floor for ACX on Adobe Audition; Is it also in Amplitude Statistics?

[NicoleAlarie-hu]

Can you share a link of the clicker you're using?

Hi @voiceoverangela, If a musician/singer is used to editing on something like garage band/logic... would you still recommend buying and using adobe? If so, why?

Hi Angela, I am doing my own audiobook and it is a poetry book. Could you please tell me if I have to make every poem into a chapter, there are over 100 poems? If not could I reduce them to ten chapters? If I can reduce them into 10 chapters should I start each chapter vocally with a name such as, "There are 10 poems in this chapter"? or Chapter 1 10 poems? Or could you suggest the best way forward? Your videos have so far helped me a lot. Thank you for your attention.

Hello Angela. Reaching out to you for the first time. Please do an instructional video about how to submit demos from Audacity to ACX . I have the latest version of Audacity 3.5 and I have MacBook Air. Thank you.

Do you have any videos on how you create the intro and outro visuals and sound for your YouTube videos?

[yumihaee]

When there is a script available, do you normally read the whole script or just a portion of it? TIA!

[garrettramskillThegOHt]

For general purpose voice over, I'm just getting started (did a 5 month training program with SuchaVoice) and wanted to know the best options to move forward into beyond the free Audacity?

[lilylotus]

Is the adobe audition free? What other software do you recommend?

Hello. I'm not sure if you have ever covered this information, but I am looking for answers. What are the best ways to receive payment from the authors. I have heard to not use Cash App, paypal or venmo. What do you use or suggest?
