I have a completed fiction manuscript written for young-adult listeners and I’m ready to transform it into a polished audiobook. The story needs a calm, soothing voice—more comforting than dramatic—yet still engaging enough to keep teens leaning in. Here’s what the project involves and how I’d like to handle it: • Record the entire manuscript in a steady, relaxed tone that suits young-adult fiction. • Master each chapter to ACX/Audible specs (44.1 kHz, 192 kbps MP3 or lossless WAV/FLAC, RMS ‑18 dB to ‑23 dB, noise floor below ‑60 dB). • Supply a short sample early on so I can confirm pacing, character presence, and overall vibe. • Deliver fully proof-listened, chapter-labeled files plus one combined file for final distribution. • Turn around any pick-ups or corrections within three business days once I flag them. I provide the manuscript in both PDF and Word formats along with pronunciation notes for names and invented terms. If you already work in Reaper, Adobe Audition, iZotope RX, or similar tools, feel free to mention your chain so I know post-production is covered. Let me know your estimated timeframe and any previous young-adult titles you’ve narrated. I’m eager to hear your calm, captivating read of my story and move this audiobook forward.

This would be my first audiobook narration project, and I’m excited at the prospect. I have more than seven years experience as a performer and the calm soothing tone you’re looking for is right up my alley. My process is to record using a Rode condenser microphone using the native Rode software. I then move the project to Audacity to make any edits and bounce the WAVs your way.
