Audio Book Production

Narration, editing and mastering of long-form audiobooks to retailer delivery specifications.

Audio Book Production at SM Media

An audiobook is a long recording that has to stay consistent across many hours and many sessions — the same voice, the same tone, the same room, the same level, from the first chapter to the last.

We manage narration, direction and the considerable editorial work that follows: removing breaths and retakes, matching sessions, proofing the read against the manuscript, and mastering each chapter to the technical specification of the retailer you are publishing through.

What the service covers

  • Narrator casting and directed recording
  • Session-to-session consistency management
  • Editing, breath and noise cleanup
  • Proof-listening against the manuscript
