#audiobooks — Public Fediverse posts

In Part 9 of @eddietonkoi’s continuing series on audiobook narration, he gets less technical and explains how to make edited audio sound like a human would actually speak. I found it fascinating.

What Sound Editing Does a Non-Fiction Audiobook Actually Need?

A non-fiction audiobook may sound easy. There is a narrator. There is a manuscript. The narrator reads it. The audio is exported.

But professional audiobook production is rarely that straightforward.

In non-fiction, the quality of sound editing directly affects comprehension, credibility and listening fatigue. A great narration can still feel amateur if the underlying recording has inconsistent levels, distracting breaths, room noise, clicks or poor pacing.

At CINEDRAMA ENTERTAINMENT, we look at audiobook editing as more than simply “cleaning an audio file.”

It is about creating a listening experience that allows the content—and the narrator—to remain the focus.

1. Noise Reduction Without Destroying the Voice

The first step is identifying unwanted background noise:

• Air-conditioner and fan noise
• Electrical hum
• Computer noise
• Room ambience
• Traffic or environmental sounds
• Recording-system noise

The challenge is not simply removing everything. Over-processing can make a human voice sound artificial, thin or metallic. Professional editing means finding the balance between a clean recording and a natural-sounding voice.

2. Breath Editing

Breaths are part of natural speech. Removing every breath can make narration sound unnatural. Leaving every breath untouched can make the audiobook feel distracting or poorly edited.

For non-fiction, breath editing is usually about control rather than elimination.

Unusually loud breaths, distracting gasps and awkward pauses may need attention, while natural breathing can remain part of the performance.

3. Clicks, Mouth Noise & Recording Artifacts

Close-mic narration can reveal details that are almost invisible during recording. Placement of the mic causes variations.

Mouth clicks, lip smacks, saliva noise, small pops and other artifacts can become surprisingly noticeable through headphones.

These are often handled individually or selectively. The goal isn’t to make the narrator sound “processed.”

The goal is to make the listener stop noticing the recording and start focusing on the content.

4. Pacing & Pauses

This is particularly important for non-fiction. A business book, biography, self-help book or educational title contains information that listeners need to absorb.

If sentences run together, important ideas can lose impact. If pauses are excessive, the audiobook can feel slow.

Good editing considers:

sentence → pause → idea → emphasis → transition

The editor is therefore not only working with sound.

They are working with how information is received by the listener.

5. Volume & Dynamic Consistency

Imagine listening to an audiobook where one paragraph is quiet and the next suddenly becomes much louder.

You turn up the volume. Then the narrator becomes loud.

You turn it down again. That is a production problem.

Professional editing aims for consistent perceived loudness while preserving enough natural dynamics in the narrator’s performance.

This becomes especially important when an audiobook will be consumed across headphones, phones, cars and smart speakers.

6. EQ & Voice Clarity

Equalization can help improve intelligibility and reduce unwanted tonal characteristics.

Depending on the recording, an editor may need to address:

• Excessive low-frequency rumble
• Boxy or muddy sound
• Harsh high frequencies
• Nasal characteristics
• Lack of vocal presence

But EQ should serve the voice—not impose a completely different voice on the narrator.

A professional audiobook should still sound like the person who recorded it.

7. Editing Mistakes Without Killing the Performance

Non-fiction narration can contain:

• Mispronunciations
• Repeated words
• False starts
• Incorrect readings
• Long hesitations
• Sentence corrections
• Page-reading mistakes

These may need to be edited carefully.

The important word is carefully.

If an edit removes too much of the natural performance, the listener may hear unnatural jumps, changes in ambience or altered pacing.

A good edit should be heard as little as possible.

8. Chapter & Section Transitions

Non-fiction audiobooks often contain multiple chapters, sections, lists, quotations, references and sometimes supplementary material.

These transitions need to feel intentional.

Silence, spacing and chapter openings should create a consistent listening structure rather than making the audiobook feel like a collection of unrelated recordings.

9. Mastering & Delivery

Editing is not the final step.

The completed audiobook needs to be prepared according to the technical requirements of its intended distribution platform.

That can involve checking:

• Overall loudness
• Peak levels
• Noise floor
• File format
• Sample rate
• Channel configuration
• Beginning and ending silence
• Chapter/file structure
• Technical consistency across the entire title

A beautifully edited chapter is not enough. The complete audiobook needs to work as one professional product.

The Bigger Picture

This is why we believe audiobook production should not be treated as simply:

“Record → Clean → Export.”

A professional non-fiction audiobook involves a chain of decisions:

Narration → Editing → Restoration → Pacing → Voice Processing → Consistency → Mastering → Delivery

Every stage influences the final listening experience.

And perhaps the most important principle is this:

The best audiobook editing is often the editing the listener never notices.

The listener shouldn’t be thinking about noise reduction, EQ, compression or breath editing.

They should be thinking about the idea, story or knowledge being communicated.

That is the real purpose of sound editing.

The Audible Craft

In this newsletter, we’ll explore the production decisions behind professional audiobooks—from narration and sound editing to mastering, audio storytelling and the evolving role of technology in the audiobook industry.

Because when a book becomes audio, the words aren’t the only thing that need to be heard.

I was toiling through Cat Rambo's "You Sexy Thing": only listened to 4.5 hours in 10 days and it felt like a chore: inconsistent pacing, drawn out descriptions, unannounced character changes. Dropped it.

Started "Only Human" by Sylvain Neuvel yesterday morning and I'm already 5 hours into. This series is catnip to me.

Yup, some #audiobooks are really clicking with me and other are not. I should definitely drop books faster.

Nearly completed my second listen of the audiobook Mindset by Carol Dweck. Dweck is the Psychologist who came up with the idea of growth vs fixed mindsets after observing different attitudes to learning, challenge and failure in her experiments with children.

It's mostly good though much of it is not terribly new to me given that so many books mention Dweck's work.

I do like the section on the complicated minefield of praise, and what parents say and kids hear, for example: "You're so brilliant, you got an A without even studying" can be interpreted as "I better quit studying or they won't think I'm brilliant".

But something has been bothering me throughout the book and I just worked out what it is. The book never seems to acknowledge the existence of privilege or bias, and instead pretty much lumps all responsibility for failure on the individual.

When the book says (to paraphrase), "A fixed-mindset person uses failure as an opportunity to blame, instead of an opportunity to learn how to succeed next time", a reader might reasonably interpret this as, "Don't draw attention to the systemic bias that is holding me back, as that would be fixed-mindset thinking, I just need to try harder".

Do not buy these books if you want a full story. He ends this one right at the explosion happens. I don't mind multiple books but each should tell a full story. Not end abruptly mid-action. Nothing in the Title Details tells you that you aren't getting the full book, either. I rewound a couple times because I thought I accidentally hit something on my player. Nope. It just cuts off so you will buy book 2. 2.5 stars for half a story.

Not kidding. I'm 42% listening to George Orwell's 1984 audiobook (by the way, skillfully read by Benjamin May) and all these days I have Eurythmics' Sexcrime in my head. It's a song that has been coming back to my mind during the (many) years. And now I'm watching / listening to the video every day. So beware, now I'm sharing my thirst.

Sharing for my fellow #Tolkien folks!

“To many in the Tolkien fandom, #audiobooks are a vital way to explore #JRRTolkien’s and Christopher Tolkien's work. To date… Christopher Tolkien's ‘The History of Middle-earth’ as a complete set with consistent and separate narration for Christopher and J.R.R's voices remains undone.

“Let's show HarperCollins that we have the interest and support to make these audiobooks happen. Share with your friends and communities!” #petition #MiddleEarth #fantasy

After a short nosebleed this morning (just blowing my nose too intensely, no worries), I decided on the distance for today’s run and started off… Brilliant weather, just enough wind to cool off a little and this marvelous scenery — what else could I wish for?

Pool of Twilight by James M. W...

Let’s get real!

What bothers you and why?

📌Disclaimer: Please note that if you click on any of the links and make a purchase, I will be receiving a small commission at NO extra cost to you📌

Hey there, lovely readers!

Today, we’re diving into the wonderful world of pet peeves.

Yep, we’re talking about those little things that just get under your skin and make you want to scream into a pillow.

What bothers you and why? Buckle up because we’re about to take a wilde ride through some common annoyances.

1. Slow Internet

Let’s kick things off with a classic: slow internet.

Is there anything more infuriating than watching the spinning wheel of death while trying to stream your favourite show?

Or worse, when you’re in the middle of an important Zoom meeting and your screen freezes in the most unflattering way possible.

Seriously, is it too much to ask for a stable connection in the 21st century?

2. Telemarketers

Next up, telemarketers.

These persistent callers have an uncanny ability to ring just as you’re sitting down for dinner or when you’re in the middle of a relaxing bath.

The worst part?

They always seem to have the most important and irrelevant offers just for you.

“Congratulations! You’ve been selected for a free cruise!” Thanks, but I’ll pass.

3. Overly Loud Chewing

Can we talk about loud chewers for a second?

There’s something about the sound of someone chomping away on their food that can drive even the most patient person up the wall.

It’s like they’re auditioning for a role in a sound effects department.

If I wanted to hear that, I’d turn on an ASMR video.

4. Endless Email Chains

How about those never-ending email chains?

You know the ones where everyone feels the need to hit “Reply All” with their two cents.

Before you know it, your inbox looks like a novel, and you’re stuck scrolling through 47 messages just to find the original point.

Can we all agree to use “Reply All” sparingly?

5. Misbehaving Technology

Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, right?

But when your printer decides to have a meltdown right before an important deadline or your phone battery dies at 20%, it feels like the universe is playing a cruel joke.

Don’t even get me started on autocorrect—no, I did not mean “ducking.”

6. Slow Walkers

And then there are the slow walkers.

You’re in a hurry, weaving through the crowd like a ninja, and then you get stuck behind someone who seems to be taking a leisurely Sunday stroll on a Tuesday morning.

It’s like they’re walking through molasses, and all you can do is smile politely and wait for an opening.

7. Leftovers with No Expiration Date

Here’s a fun one: leftovers in the fridge with no expiration date.

Is this container of spaghetti from last week or last month? Who knows!

It’s a game of culinary roulette, and the stakes are high.

Do you risk it, or do you toss it? The struggle is real.

So, there you have it—my list of things that bother me and why.

From slow internet to leftover roulette, these little annoyances can really test our patience.

But hey, they also give us something to laugh about (eventually).

What bothers you and why? Share your pet peeves in the comments below—I can’t wait to commiserate with you!

Let’s get real!

Hey there, lovely readers!

Today, we’re diving into the wonderful world of pet peeves.

Yep, we’re talking about those little things that just get under your skin and make you want to scream into a pillow.

What bothers you and why? Buckle up because we’re about to take a wilde ride through some common annoyances.

1. Slow Internet

Let’s kick things off with a classic: slow internet.

Is there anything more infuriating than watching the spinning wheel of death while trying to stream your favourite show?

Or worse, when you’re in the middle of an important Zoom meeting and your screen freezes in the most unflattering way possible.

Seriously, is it too much to ask for a stable connection in the 21st century?

2. Telemarketers

Next up, telemarketers.

These persistent callers have an uncanny ability to ring just as you’re sitting down for dinner or when you’re in the middle of a relaxing bath.

The worst part?

They always seem to have the most important and irrelevant offers just for you.

“Congratulations! You’ve been selected for a free cruise!” Thanks, but I’ll pass.

3. Overly Loud Chewing

Can we talk about loud chewers for a second?

There’s something about the sound of someone chomping away on their food that can drive even the most patient person up the wall.

It’s like they’re auditioning for a role in a sound effects department.

If I wanted to hear that, I’d turn on an ASMR video.

4. Endless Email Chains

How about those never-ending email chains?

You know the ones where everyone feels the need to hit “Reply All” with their two cents.

Before you know it, your inbox looks like a novel, and you’re stuck scrolling through 47 messages just to find the original point.

Can we all agree to use “Reply All” sparingly?

5. Misbehaving Technology

Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, right?

But when your printer decides to have a meltdown right before an important deadline or your phone battery dies at 20%, it feels like the universe is playing a cruel joke.

Don’t even get me started on autocorrect—no, I did not mean “ducking.”

6. Slow Walkers

And then there are the slow walkers.

You’re in a hurry, weaving through the crowd like a ninja, and then you get stuck behind someone who seems to be taking a leisurely Sunday stroll on a Tuesday morning.

It’s like they’re walking through molasses, and all you can do is smile politely and wait for an opening.

7. Leftovers with No Expiration Date

Here’s a fun one: leftovers in the fridge with no expiration date.

Is this container of spaghetti from last week or last month? Who knows!

It’s a game of culinary roulette, and the stakes are high.

Do you risk it, or do you toss it? The struggle is real.

So, there you have it—my list of things that bother me and why.

From slow internet to leftover roulette, these little annoyances can really test our patience.

But hey, they also give us something to laugh about (eventually).

Haven’t finished it yet so please no spoilers, but I’ve started listening to The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett and it’s so good!

The two main characters are different genders and very different personalities, one younger, a down to earth novice, the other older and brilliant, chaotic, and a bit savage. Somehow the male narrator makes them both come alive in their own unique ways, it’s a great performance!

It’s been a busy day but I’m excited to wind down with this. :)
