How do you make an audiobook?

Audiobooks have become big business, and naturally you may have listened to some big name actors narrating your favourite novel. But, they’re certainly not always narrated by Hollywood alumni, and that’s at least partly because it’s quite a specific skill that requires one to carefully walk the line between narrator and character actor. That’s not something every actor can do. So, what does it take to record an audiobook? Aoife McMahon is one of Ireland’s most in-demand audiobook narrators, having recorded more than 200 titles, including best-sellers by Marian Keyes, Sally Rooney, Jo Spain and Colm Tóibín. She joins Seán to discuss.
