Our Readers
We have a large stable of trained, professional and semi-professional readers and narrators available to record you book. A sample from some our our readers is below:
Custom Narration and Production Offered
Want to use multiple narrators? We can work with our various narrators to provide a variety of voices within a single audiobook*
​
​Want to narrate your own book with our production team? We can collaborate with you to come into our studio and record with our professional equipment and production team.**
​
*These options are not included in the standard production packages and due to additional collaboration, additional fees are associated with these custom packages.
**Our studio is in Peoria, Arizona and you must come into our studio to record with our equipment.
Post Recording Sevices
After recording completion we work with the author for an post-completion edits, as well as assisting with uploading your audiobook if necessary.*
​

​
Quality Assurance
We go above and beyond taking the time for advanced research with the author or other(s) to ensure our pronunciations, technical, or other pronunciations are accurate.
PRICING
What does it cost to get your book recorded?
​
While 9,000 printed words is approximately an hour of recorded reading time, it may take the combined efforts of a narrator and sound engineer three or more hours to complete. However, we have a simple system and charge for only the total time of the recorded reading and uploading of the audio file to a platform selected by the author.
​
We charge $150 for each finished hour of the recorded reading and $50 per hour for uploading the audio file.
​
For example, once an audio book has been completed, if the total recorded time for the entire book is ten hours long, the recording charge would be $1,500 (10hrs @ $150/hr). If the book is five hours long, this charge would be $750.
Our minimum charge is $300.
​
Please note that our audio book production is limited to the professional recording of it: we do not include marketing, sales, distribution or book cover design.
