How do self-publishers handle audiobook narration effectively?

[Ben Baker]

Hi everyone! I’m planning to turn my book into an audiobook and am curious about the narration process. I’ve come across tips on audiobook narration for self publishers, but I’m not sure whether to narrate it myself or hire a professional. Has anyone here tried creating their own audiobook or worked with narrators? I’d love to hear your experiences, advice, or suggestions for producing a high-quality audiobook as a self-publisher.
