AudioBooks
At MediaVoice, we offer a turnkey service for Authors and Publishers to create Audio Books from your existing text.
We welcome authors to read their own script, or we'll supply samples of voices for your consideration. In our voice studio, one great benefit is no 'hurry-along pressure'. We assist all voices to obtain the best quality read possible. After moving our previous studio from Burnside to Hants County several years ago, the low overhead has allowed us to keep our costs very competitive. After your Audio Book recording is completed, we proceed to Post Editing and Mastering so you receive an industry standard professional quality audio product. We can also supply finished digital audio tracks complete with:
sound page markers for follow-along childrens stories.
awesome music for Intros, Extros, Bumpers etc. (nominal licensing charges apply)
professional hi-res photos of your narrator reading in studio for labels or Websites. (no charge)
all sound effects required.
For web distribution, the finished master audio tracks will be delivered to your webmaster or publisher in any of multiple formats required including .wav, .aif, .mp3, .flac, ogg vorbis etc. The time frame for finished delivery of Audio Books is normally within 10 days following recording. We record in the evening and on weekend afternoons and depending on whether we have existing projects in the queue, we can begin your audio book recording normally with 7-10 days notice.
Thinking of an Audio Book....relax, we'll take it from here.
