Attention author-narrators! We’ll coach you through it…

Ahhh… our specialty!

Training authors to sound significantly more natural/comfortable, while keeping listeners way more engaged, and importantly, leaving much less to edit post recording.

We’ve worked with many hundreds – in fact, probably over 1,000 audiobook narrators. It can be done.

And it’s fun — really fun transformation to watch authors go from sounding wonky at the microphone to good story tellers.

PLUS WE TEACH YOU

• The use of clapping, dog-clickers or other loud noises to mark edits
• Punch and roll
• Pick-ups
• Best practices for SLATING book titles, author’s name, narrator’s name…
• Audio description
• Dealing with multiple characters and genders

Plus with coaching, narrators save money, because they generally require less studio time to complete their narration – which translates into a fair amount of cost savings. With even just 1 one-hour coaching session, narrators typically have far fewer stumbles when recording, which means far less post-recording editing, and a far more engaging storytelling end product.

Professional design is a guarantee of high-quality results

Recording voice overs for audiobooks is not as easy as it might seem at first glance.

Having only one’s desire and a high-quality microphone will not be enough. The timbre of the voice, logical pauses, emotional accents, pronunciation, and speed of speech are just some of the criteria for audiobook voice actor selection. In addition to the voice over itself, there is complicated work on sound recording and editing.

Our goal is to focus on the quality of the audio recording and not rush through the project. Edge Studio’s experts are highly qualified in voicing commercials, radio, films, educational materials, games, and other sourced works. At Edge Studio, we are experienced in working with professional audiobook voice actors and always can find the best narrator for your project. We also offer to record an audiobook in several voices at the same time to voice several characters.
