Making+an+Audio+Book


 * Audio Books/ Recording**


 * What to do**
 * 1) Plan with your partner how you will record the book, you may need to write a story or change one that you have been given or found. Decide who will do which voices, what sounds or music you will need. Plan where you will put the sound that tells the reader when to turn the page.
 * 2) Save your project! When you first open a project in Audacity **SAVE IT** and remember to save often.
 * 3) Start your recording if you are not happy do it again. It is important to get quality recordings to work with, it is much harder to change these later. Use (control or command and z) to undo. All of your shortcut keys work in Audacity.
 * 4) Listen to the track a few times before you export it, are you sure it does not need to be edited a little more?
 * 5) Export your track as an MP3. File/ export/ mp3 - save it to the desktop and upload it to the wiki.


 * Where to get sound effects**

You need to download these on to your computer, do this before you start your story that will make the process faster and you will not have to keep going back to the websites all of the time to download sounds. You might not find what you are looking for, be creative with your keyword searches, some sounds are alike maybe you can find something else that makes the sound you want. If not create the sound yourself.
