Narration formats for every story

Whether your book calls for one voice or twenty, we have the talent and infrastructure to bring it to life. Choose the format that fits your story.

🎤
Solo Narration
1 Narrator

A single, skilled narrator brings every character and scene to life. Ideal for memoirs, self-help, and single-POV fiction.

  • One professional voice actor
  • Character differentiation through performance
  • Fastest turnaround time
  • Perfect for nonfiction and first-person narratives
🎧
Dual Narration
2 Narrators + Distinct Roles

Two narrators with clearly defined character roles, performing together for a richer, more immersive listening experience.

  • Defined character assignments per narrator
  • More dramatic than standard duet
  • Great for fantasy and thriller with two leads
  • Blends performance with narration
🎬
Multicast
3 to 22+ Actors

Every character gets their own voice. This is radio-theatre-quality audiobook production, the format that put Squeaky Cheese on the map.

  • Unique voice actor per character

  • Cinematic listening experience

From manuscript to finished audiobook

Our production process is designed for quality at every step. Here's how your book goes from page to performance.

1
Manuscript Review

We read the manuscript, identify characters, assess format needs, and provide a production quote tailored to your story.

2
Casting

We match voice talent to your characters from our roster of professional actors. You approve the cast before recording begins.

3
Recording

Each narrator records in professional studio environments. Multicast productions are directed for consistency and chemistry.

4
Editing

Raw audio is cleaned, timed, and assembled. Mouth clicks, breaths, and errors are removed while preserving natural performance.

5
Mastering

Final audio is mastered to ACX/Audible technical specifications. Consistent levels, proper noise floor, and broadcast quality.

6
Delivery

Finished files delivered in your required format. Ready for upload to Audible, Findaway, Authors Republic, or any distributor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a "finished hour"?
Audiobook production is priced per finished hour (PFH) — meaning one hour of completed, mastered audio. A typical novel of ~80,000 words produces roughly 8–10 finished hours. A shorter novella might be 4–5 hours. Your quote is based on the estimated finished runtime of your specific manuscript, not raw word count alone.
How long does production take?
Solo narration typically completes in 4–8 weeks depending on manuscript length and narrator availability. Duet productions run 6–10 weeks due to scheduling two narrators. Multicast productions average 10–16 weeks — casting, direction, and ensemble coordination take time, but the result is worth it. We provide a production schedule upfront so you can plan around your launch date.
What formats do you deliver?
Final files are delivered as MP3 (ACX-compliant, 192kbps) ready for Audible / ACX upload, plus M4B (chapter-encoded audiobook format) and WAV masters on request. All audio is mastered to ACX specification: −23 LUFS RMS, −3dBFS peak, noise floor < −60dBFS. Compatible with Findaway Voices, Authors Republic, Libro.fm, and all major distributors.
