Production of Audio-Books
What are Audio Books?
Simply put, audio books are the content of books read aloud and recorded to CD or any other electronic format. We have worked for many years in conjunction with various Children's Publishers to produce spoken versions of educational material.
Together the read stories, original songs, underscored music & sound effects all combine to create a full interactive Look, Listen & Learn experience that holds the attention of even very young children. The same concepts can be provided to create audio from any written work, including Educational & Training courses, Meditation CDs, inserts for Theatrical productions...
How creating an Audiobook can expand your Market
-
You can reach that segment of the market that does not have the time to read as much as they wish - an audio book can be listened to in the car on the way to work, on MP3 players, or while you are working around the house.
-
Kids can easily listen to a fun book - by using a voice artist who knows how to animate characters, a Child's focus can be engaged by the way they speak.
Fun story-appropriate songs, music underscore and exciting sound FX can be created to aurally illustrate the narrative.
-
Teachers and schools use them as educational tools.
-
Audio books are essential for those who are without sight or visually impaired.
When and where do listeners use them?
The primary usage is while traveling to work or on a holliday drive, or on portable media players while commuting. Other uses revolve around lifestyle activities such as exercising, relaxing, cooking, cleaning, gardening, crafting, walking the dog, etc. People whose jobs involve repetitive manual tasks also use audiobooks while they work.
How are voices chosen?
Sometimes the author is considered the best choice to read their own work, predominantly in nonfiction, alternatively we can source suitable voice talent to suite your book, the choice of which you will approve. The role of the "voice" is 'cast' as it would be for many other forms of drama, only in most audiobooks, the performer may play all of the parts. If your budget allows, you may also use multiple voices to create a full cast.
What formats can we supply your title in?
Consumers listen to CDs, MP3s, iPods, Podcasts, Streaming Audio and Cassette tape. We can provide you with a selection of file formats like .wav, MP3, .wma, and .aiff.
