Narrator Selection, Recording, Mastering and Retailer Preparation

Production starts with the voice. We shortlist narrators who suit your book's genre, tone and characters, and you choose from recorded auditions. The narrator then records the book with direction on pronunciation, pacing and character voices.

Recordings are edited, cleaned and mastered to meet the technical requirements audiobook retailers set for levels, noise and file format, and you review the chapters before the final files are prepared for upload.
