Our Audiobook Narrators

Some of our audiobook narrators. Every artist below has been selected for long-form work – vocal stamina, consistency, and genre experience that audiobook production demands. Tell us about your project and we will recommend the best match.

Why Audiobook Narration Is Different

Audiobook narration is not a voiceover job. It is a performance that demands stamina, consistency and emotional range sustained across hours of recording. A 30-second commercial asks a voice artist to deliver one moment. An audiobook asks them to carry an audience through an entire story or argument, chapter after chapter, without losing energy or focus.

The narrator becomes the reader’s companion for eight, ten, fifteen hours. A mismatch between voice and material is something listeners notice immediately. That is why casting matters more here than in almost any other format. The right narrator does not just read the words. They interpret the tone, inhabit the characters, and maintain a consistent performance across sessions that may span days or weeks.

We understand these demands because we work with narrators who specialise in long-form content. They have the vocal stamina, the technical discipline, and the genre experience to deliver audiobooks that hold up from the first chapter to the last.

The Right Voice

Casting for Character and Stamina

We do not assign narrators based on availability. We listen to your material, understand the audience, and recommend voices whose qualities match the content. You hear audition recordings of your own text before committing. No guesswork.

What We Cover

  • Fiction: literary and contemporary, thriller, crime, fantasy, sci-fi, romance, historical fiction, children and young adult
  • Non-fiction: business and leadership, memoir and biography, history, science, technology, health, travel and lifestyle
  • Specialist formats: multi-narrator productions, full-cast audio drama, corporate and internal audiobooks, multilingual editions
  • Short-form: abridged versions, sample chapters and promotional excerpts

We also work with publishers and production companies who need a reliable partner for ongoing audiobook output. If you have a slate of titles to produce, we can manage the workflow across multiple narrators and maintain consistent quality standards throughout.

Full Production

Manuscript to Platform

We offer end-to-end audiobook production: casting, recording, editing, mastering, proofing and delivery. You hand over the manuscript and get back finished files ready for ACX, Findaway, or any distribution platform you choose.

How a Booking Works

You send us a brief: your manuscript word count, the genre, your target audience, and any preferences you have for the narrator. If you have a deadline or a distribution platform in mind, tell us that too.

We come back with a shortlist of narrators, each with a sample recording of your text. You listen, compare, and choose. If none of them feel right, we go again. The narrator has to be a genuine match for the material.

Once you have approved a voice, we schedule recording. Depending on the length of the book, this takes anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. After recording, we handle editing, mastering and proofing. Every chapter is checked against the manuscript for accuracy, then mastered to meet the technical requirements of your chosen distribution platform. You receive finished files ready to upload.

Timeline

Casting to Delivery

A typical audiobook project takes four to eight weeks from first brief to finished files. Shorter titles move faster. Complex projects with character work or multiple narrators may take longer. We will give you a realistic timeline at the quoting stage.

Audiobook Narration Pricing

Audiobook narration in the UK is priced per finished hour (PFH). One finished hour is one hour of fully edited, mastered, platform-ready audio. Producing one finished hour typically takes three to four hours of work including recording, editing, proofing and mastering.

Current UK rates range from £100 to £200 per finished hour for emerging narrators, £200 to £400 for experienced professionals, and £400 or more for specialist or high-demand voices. These rates vary depending on genre complexity, production scope, and rights arrangements.

We provide clear, itemised quotes with no hidden fees. Every quote specifies exactly what is included: narrator fee, editing, mastering, proofing, and delivery format. For a full breakdown of how audiobook pricing works, see our detailed pricing guide. You can also read our plain English guide to audiobook narration costs.

Quick Estimate

Budget Calculator

Take your manuscript word count, divide by 9,300 (the average words per finished hour), and multiply by the PFH rate for your project scope. A 75,000-word novel is roughly 8 finished hours. At £250 PFH with full production, that is around £2,000.

Audiobook Production Questions

How much does audiobook narration cost in the UK?

Most audiobook narration is priced per finished hour (PFH). UK rates range from £100 to £200 for emerging narrators, £200 to £400 for experienced professionals, and £400 or more for specialist voices. A finished hour is one hour of fully edited, mastered audio – not one hour of recording time. For a full breakdown, see our audiobook pricing guide.

How long does it take to produce an audiobook?

A typical audiobook takes four to eight weeks from casting to delivery. The biggest variable is book length and narrator availability. A 70,000-word novel (roughly 7-8 finished hours) usually needs one to two weeks of recording, followed by editing, mastering and proofing.

Can I hear auditions before I commit?

Yes. We provide audition recordings of shortlisted narrators reading a passage from your manuscript. This is standard practice and included in our service. You choose the voice that feels right for your material before any recording begins.

Do you deliver files ready for ACX and Audible?

Yes. We master all audiobook files to meet ACX and Audible technical requirements, including correct RMS levels, peak levels, noise floor specifications, and chapter file formatting. We can also deliver for Findaway Voices, Authors Republic, Kobo, and other platforms.

What is the difference between full production and narrator-only booking?

Narrator-only means we cast and book the voice artist. You manage recording, editing and mastering yourself. Full production means we handle everything: casting, recording, editing, mastering, proofing, and platform-ready delivery. Most authors and publishers choose full production for the convenience and quality control.

Can you produce audiobooks in languages other than English?

Yes. We represent native-speaking narrators in Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and other languages. For multilingual audiobook projects, we can coordinate production across languages, maintaining consistent quality standards and delivery formats.
