FAQ
Do you use AI to narrate audiobooks?
Never. Every word is performed live by me — a real SAG-AFTRA voice actor with professional stage and screen training — in my dedicated studio. I use Pro Tools for post-production polish, but the narration is 100% human performance, start to finish.
Do you deliver ACX-compliant files?
Yes. All audiobook files are delivered to ACX spec: 192kbps MP3 or 44.1kHz WAV, -23 to -18 LUFS RMS, -3dBFS peak, and room tone under -60dBFS. I also deliver for Findaway Voices, Libro.fm, and other distributor specs — just let me know your platform before ordering.
Can you voice multiple characters, not just narration?
Yes — and this is where my acting background matters. I trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute and have five distinct signature character voices available. Fiction, fantasy, thriller, sci-fi — I bring the full cast to life, not just the narrator's voice.
What is your per-finished-hour rate and turnaround?
I provide custom quotes based on your manuscript word count. As a general benchmark, 9,300 words equals approximately one finished hour. Turnaround is typically 2–3 business days per finished hour. Message me with your word count and I'll send a full timeline and quote within a few hours.
Do you offer a sample narration before I commit to a full project?
Yes. I offer a paid audition sample gig — a custom narration of your first chapter or a selected passage so you can hear my interpretation of your characters and story before committing to the full book. Message me to discuss.
How do revisions work for long-form audiobook projects?
Each project includes one free revision pass covering pace, tone, emphasis, and mispronunciations. For full chapter re-records I provide a reasonable per-chapter rate. I study your character notes and pronunciation guides carefully upfront — most clients find one pass is all they need.
Can you match the narrator from a previous volume in my series?
Yes. Send me a reference file from your existing narrator and I'll match the energy, pacing, and tonal approach as closely as possible. If your series has an established voice and you need continuity, message me before ordering so we can discuss the match.
Can you narrate non-fiction, business books, or self-help titles — not just fiction?
Absolutely. I narrate across all genres. For non-fiction and business titles I bring a clear, authoritative delivery that keeps listeners engaged through dense material. For self-help I shift to a warmer, more conversational tone. Tell me the genre and intended audience and I'll match it accordingly
What studio setup are you recording on?
I record in a Whisperquiet sound booth using a Neumann TLM 102 Condenser Microphone, running through Pro Tools on an iMac 10-Core i9. Every file is delivered broadcast-ready — mixed, mastered, and QC'd before it leaves my studio.
Do you provide a chapter-by-chapter file structure for upload?
Yes. I deliver fully labeled, chapter-separated files ready for direct upload to ACX, Findaway Voices, or your distributor of choice. Each file is mixed, mastered, and noise-reduced in-house. No extra prep work on your end.
