Everything you need for a professional audiobook release
We combine broadcast-grade engineering with narrative coaching so your books sounds as authoritative as the ideas inside it.
1. Pre-production & casting
We review your manuscript, define your listener profile, and recommend the right voice—either you as the author, or a seasoned narrator that matches your brand.
2. Guided recording sessions
Record remotely from a treated space or local studio while our producer directs pacing, emphasis, and clarity. That way you sound confident.
3. Editing, mastering & delivery
We remove mistakes, balance levels, match ACX/Audible technical specs, and deliver ready-to-upload files plus a trailer.

How does the audiobook production process work?
Our production process follows these steps:
1. Consultation - We discuss your book, vision, and timeline
2. Narrator Selection - You audition and select from our voice talent roster
3. Recording - Your narrator records the full manuscript in our professional studio
4. Editing & Proofing - We remove errors, mouth clicks, breaths, and background noise
5. Quality Review - You receive the audio for review and provide feedback
6. Mastering - We optimize levels and ensure retail platform compliance
7. Delivery - You receive final files ready for distribution
Do I have to narrate my own book?
No. Many clients choose a professional narrator to save time and ensure a consistent performance. Others prefer to narrate themselves to keep their personal voice and authority. We support both paths: we can cast and direct a narrator for you, or coach you through author narration so you sound polished and natural.
How long does it take to produce an audiobook?
Typical timelines:
| Book Length | Production Time |
|-------------|-----------------|
| Under 30,000 words | 3-4 weeks |
| 30,000-60,000 words | 4-6 weeks |
| 60,000-100,000 words | 6-8 weeks |
| Over 100,000 words | 8-12 weeks |
Rush services are available for an additional fee. Timeline begins once narrator is confirmed and full manuscript is received.
Do you offer multi-narrator or full-cast productions?
Yes! We offer several formats:
- Single narrator (most common, one voice performs all characters)
- Dual narration (two narrators, often for romance with alternating POV)
- Full cast (multiple voice actors for different characters)
- Dramatized audio (full cast plus sound effects and music)
Multi-voice productions require additional coordination and increase costs accordingly.
