Audiobook narration
An audiobook is hours of one voice, so stamina, consistency and character work matter as much as the quality of the voice. Publishers and authors both use narration to reach listeners.
Before you start
- Whether the book needs one narrator or a cast.
- The pronunciation of names and places, decided up front.
- The platform’s technical requirements.
What you receive
Chapter files mastered to the platform’s loudness and format rules.
A common mistake
Choosing a narrator from a short sample, without hearing how the voice holds over a full chapter.

Questions
How long does an audiobook take to produce?
Narration, editing and mastering take several times the finished running time. Plan the schedule from the word count of the book, not from the deadline.
