Production
Once you've selected your narrator and we've received the signed production agreement and intro payment, we will get started on your audiobook. When we have completed the recording, it's gone through editing, quality-control and mastering, we'll send you your audio files to listen to and make sure that it's to your liking.

Studio A is generally operated by our IMDB credited senior engineer John St. Denis. Our vast experience with ADR, sound design, voiceover, audio narration, music, podcasts and client management make recording here an enjoyable experience for everyone.
