Read By The Author

If you are going to do your audiobook alone, then plan to alternate between narrating and playback, and do it, at least every half hour. During the playback, you must have a copy of your book in front of you, and you have to read along while you listen. Mark any place where you hear a goof-up.

After you have listened through the most recent narration, get back in the saddle, and re-do those bits that need a re-take.

The purpose of doing this is to double-check your narration. It is to catch problems that you didn't catch while you were narrating. If you make a mistake during the original narrating, don't put off the re-take. Stop and do the retake right then and there. Don't fall into the habit of telling yourself that you will 'fix that later'. Fix it now. It is a lot easier to fix things right away, even if you feel like you are going about 5 miles an hour through your book.
