A real narrator for your audiobook, chosen by you
Hear our professional narrators, pick three you would be happy with, and send us a free casting request. We confirm your first available choice before we send any invoice. A human-narrated audiobook can go everywhere, including Audible and Amazon through ACX.
One finished hour for about 9,300 words, so a 60,000-word book is about 6.5 hours, roughly $1,560.
The rate covers casting, narration and mastered final files ready for distribution. You pay half when your narrator is confirmed and the rest when the finished audiobook is delivered.
Estimate your price
An estimate only. We count the narrated text from your manuscript and confirm the exact figure in writing before any invoice.
How it works
- Listen and choose three. Pick narrators you would be happy to have read your book, in order of preference.
- Send a free casting request. Add your manuscript or a link. It costs nothing.
- We confirm your narrator. We send your book to your first choice and confirm they can take it on. If not, we go to your second, then your third.
- Only then do you pay. Half when your narrator is confirmed, half on delivery of mastered files.

Good to know
Human or AI? Audible and Amazon accept only human-narrated audiobooks through ACX. If you want your audiobook there, or a performance with real emotion, choose a human narrator. If you would rather have a lower price and do not need Audible, see AI Audiobook Creation.
Distribution is a separate step: once your audiobook is finished we can publish it through our audiobook distribution service, or you can upload it yourself.
