[Andrew Russell -LBPH-]

   - We use Hindenburg Audiobook Creator to record and edit audio, and
   create the audiobook: https://hindenburg.com/products/hindenburg-abc-nls
   - You'll need an audio interface of some kind, here are some examples.

   - An extra mic (doesn't have to be nice) with a mic Switch for the
   monitor is nice, to allow them to communicate with the narrator, as well as
   a small desktop stand. Talkback Mic

   - Headphones Sennheiser HD280 Pro
   <https://en-us.sennheiser.com/hd-280-pro>
   - These are the mics we've used the most ElectroVoice RE27
   - Plenty of XLR cables, at whatever length is appropriate for your
   space.
   - Punchlight Recording Lamp Punchlight
   <https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1144028-REG/punchlight_plrlusb08_recording_lamp_usb_rgb.html/?ap=y&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIraichLzk4gIVQmSGCh0_JQtEEAQYAyABEgLnwvD_BwE&smp=Y>
   - Bookstands for the narrators, and something to deaden the sound of the
   table, we use felt.

That's all I can think of for now, feel free to contact me if you have any
questions. Good luck!
