Audiobook Narration Services

Find the right voice for your book. We run auditions, direct the performance and agree the recording scope clearly before narration starts.

Auditions, Performance Direction and Recording Scope

Narrators are chosen for fit: accent, age, tone and how they handle dialogue and characters. You hear short auditions recorded from your own text, so you can compare voices on the material that matters.

Before recording we agree the scope: the full text, pronunciation of names and terms, character voices and the number of pickup sessions for corrections. That keeps the performance consistent from the first chapter to the last.

LIVE CHAT

A growing audience

Many readers now listen to books while commuting, exercising or working. An audiobook reaches people who may never buy print.

The right voice

Narration is matched to your genre and tone, from warm memoir storytelling to fast-paced fiction and clear nonfiction.

Studio quality

Recordings are edited and mastered to meet the technical requirements of major audiobook retailers.

Another income stream

An audiobook edition adds a new format to your catalogue, often at a higher price point than an ebook.
