Get up to speed on all the latest changes in the Audiobook Narration business. Lots has changed since last year—more than I can explain here. So I’m just going to turn you over to the experts who taught me everything I know.
I have recorded dozens of audiobooks (most are still paying me royalties) and have encouraged several of my voice actor colleagues to join me. So here is the message I just got from David H. Lawrence VII:
So, audiobooks. “A total pain to narrate and produce, with very little return on your time and effort in cash.”
Maybe this is what you’ve been told about audiobook narration?
I get it: someone warned you to stay away from audiobooks because “the recording/editing process takes forever.”
Any of our several hundred students/graduates, however, will tell you a very different story.
As an example…
One of the ACX Master Class graduates who always assumed that, as “the talent,” the technical aspects of audiobook production are simply impossible for a mere performer, now says:
“I was absolutely blown away to find out how easy it was to do all the producing and editing myself. Finding myself now in the position where I can generate my own work is just about the best thing I can imagine as an actor.”
That’s a big difference from “it’s a freakin’ slog, I tell ya.”
And the money? If you do it right, consistently, efficiently and at a high level, you might be able to do what I do: pay the mortgage with my monthly audiobook royalty income – just from ACX.
If getting paid to tell stories appeals to you — or if you’re already narrating and producing audiobooks but aren’t having the success you deserve — I’ve got something for you.
You’re invited to join us for the 2023 ACX Master Class. It starts in a couple of weeks.
And to help you decide if you’re finally ready to launch your audiobook narrator career, or fix the one you already have, my buddy Dan just released the first of 3 free video tutorials.
Check out the first free video here. Free Classes
You’ll find out how one of our first students, an air traffic controller facing mandatory retirement, made one of the most epic decisions of his life: to work from home, on ACX, narrating and producing audiobooks.
(And yeah boy, you’ll be shocked at how many books he’s narrated since he took the class, and all the publishers and producers he’s been working for beyond ACX alone.)
Check the video out now at the link above.
Hope this helps!

P.S. On the video’s web page, just below the video, you’ll see a place to add any questions or concerns you may have. Dan and I see every question & comment and will give you straightforward answers.
P.P.S Do a favor for someone you know who would be awesome at audiobooks (like a fellow actor or voice talent) and let them know about this.
