Begin a search to audition and hire a professional narrator.

Provide narrators with a few paragraphs if not a page of text for them to read from and also give them with a digital copy of the manuscript so that they may review the contents before committing to an audition. By doing so, only the most interested of the qualified narrators will respond. Additionally, provide details pertaining to audio file requirements such as file format, the separating and naming of files and so on. If you are going to be selling the audiobook on CDs, you will want the audio to be of a higher quality such as a WAV file than if you were simply selling the audiobook as a digital MP3 download online.

A good rule of thumb is to provide as much information as possible to your narrator ahead of time. This way, they can fully evaluate the project and be sure to impress you with their performance.
