On this episode of the Self-Publishing Tips & Tricks podcast, we’re joined once again by romantasy comedy author Elaine Canyon, this time to talk all things audiobooks on a budget. Elaine shares her journey into narrating her own work and offers practical, low-cost strategies for authors who want to create professional-sounding audiobooks without breaking the bank. From essential gear and DIY soundproofing to software options and voice performance tips, we covereverything you need to know to get started. If you've ever thought about producing your own audiobook but didn’t know where to begin—or how to afford it—this episode might just be the push you need.
