Audiobook Studio

Producing an audiobook.

Manuscript to finished chapters — casting a narrator, keeping a long read consistent, and exporting masters that pass a retailer's spec check.

The curriculum

Read them in this order

The first lesson gets one chapter narrated. The second is the one that decides how much work the rest of the book is.

What you are walking through

Every project moves through the same stepper. The lessons below assume you know which stage you are in.

Import: Upload a manuscript or paste your text. The studio splits it into chapters and then into paragraphs — the paragraph is the unit everything after this works on.
Voice: Choose the narrator. This voice reads every paragraph you do not override, so it is the one decision that colours the whole book.
Narrate: Narrate chapter one first, listen to it, then run the rest. The studio quotes the credits for each batch before it spends them.
Production · optional: Spoken opening and closing credits, intro and outro music, cover art, and the room tone padded onto every chapter. All of it optional.
Export: Package the finished chapters. A readiness checklist tells you what a retailer will reject before you spend the export.
