I was thinking about adding some audio recordings to my blog of my short stories that I've already put out into the world but aren't necessarily what I want to send out for publication...and I thought, maybe, since I've already got access to proper recording equipment, and I don't want to spend a fortune paying for narration services when I'm just getting started...I should just do it myself?
I'm not coming from a position of ego (i.e. I am the creator and only I know how it must be), but I do have a decent reading voice. I know how my characters sound and how I want the language to sound.
Is anyone else thinking of doing this? Has anyone else done their own audiobook recording? Pitfalls? Pluses? Do the platforms that distribute audiobooks laugh at writers for doing this and pat them on the head and tell them they'll do it again...in a proper studio?
Or am I so completely wrong about all of the above that I should just go back to playing in my sandbox and leave that kind of thing to the professionals?
