How long will it take to record your audiobook?
This is a tough question to answer as it varies for each narrator and the length of the book. Generally, it takes 90 minutes of time behind the microphone to end up with 60 minutes of finished material (approximately 9300 words). Following the recommended schedule, you can expect to fully narrate approximately 15,000-18,000 words each day.
