About this service

What our audiobook service involves

Audio is a growing way to enjoy books, and many listeners never read print or ebooks at all. Producing an audiobook is more than reading aloud. The narrator must keep a consistent voice for hours, pronounce names correctly and bring the right pacing. The recording must be free of noise, clicks and breaths, and the final files must meet strict technical standards.

We help you find the right narrator through audition samples, then manage recording, editing, proofing and mastering. Opening credits, chapter files, retail samples and the audiobook cover are prepared to the specification of the platforms you choose. We are independent and not affiliated with any audiobook platform.

Our approach

How we handle audiobook

Casting is the most important decision. A narrator's voice becomes the voice of your characters or your authority as an expert. We ask candidates to record the same short passage so that you can compare them fairly, and we advise on voice type, accent and pacing that fit your readers' expectations for the genre.

Technical quality is just as important. Platforms check files for loudness, noise levels and consistency, and they reject files that fall outside specification. Our editors clean the recordings, match room tone between sessions and master the audio so that your audiobook passes the checks and sounds the same from chapter to chapter.

Common mistakes we help you avoid

  • Recording in a noisy room. Echo and background noise are hard to remove. A quiet, treated space is essential.
  • Not sharing pronunciations. Names and unusual words need a guide. We collect these before recording starts.
  • Skipping the proof listen. Small mistakes appear in the edit. Listening to every chapter catches them.
