AUDIO BOOKS
For Authors, Self-publishers & Corporations

The market for downloadable audio products is HUGE and getting bigger every day. It currently stands at about $3 BILLION per year!

According to the Audio Publishers Association, retail and wholesale audio book sales increased 14 percent and library sales increased by 7 percent. Overall sales growth is up 5.1 percent!

Two at Mic Fast, Professional Audio Book Narration
I can turn your book, eBook, magazine, newspaper, training manual, how-to book, corporate presentation or any other written material into a BROADCAST QUALITY audio book in MP3, WAV or AIFF format, so you can tap into the market for downloading audio books onto computers, iPods, PDAs, MP3 players and smartphones, or you can even have it burned onto a CD.

Sounds Great. But How Much Does It Cost?
It's much cheaper than you think. Using the latest technology and my own proprietory system, I can narrate, edit and master any audio book (or other document) from as little as $0.029 per word.

So, for a 50,000-word manuscript, the total cost would be just $1,450.00 for a broadcast quality, ready-to-sell audio book in MP3, WAV or AIFF format.

And that even includes adding cover art, which will display when the audio book is played on any device with a screen, along with narration of copyright and publisher information, book synopsis (back cover blurb), and a short music intro, if desired!

You can (and should) do your own research, but based on mine, I'm pretty sure that's the best rate out there for a PROFESSIONAL audio book. (And, no, cousin Jimmy recording it for 300 bucks onto his computer in the spare bedroom using a USB microphone, along with all the hiss, dogs barking and kids screaming in the background, doesn't count.)

Mixing Desk

Your final delivered files will be EDITED & CLEAN, which means no hiss, background noise, pauses, gaps or loud intakes of breath. In short, something you can be proud of.

That's Amazing! I'm In. What Do I Do Now?
Glad you asked. Your part in turning your written document into an audio book is a VERY simple process, so don't worry. I'll walk you through it step by step.

Note to major audio book publishers: If you need a product using A-list voice talent and engineers, a female voice or a different accent, or if you want additional sound effects, cues or background music, please visit my corporate site at AGBMedia.com for further information and voice samples. For all others ...

Step 1:
Select the voice style you wish to use for your project from the samples below, making a note of the "Voice Code."

Found the one you like? OK. Great! If not, call me on (+1) 817-806-6446 to discuss how we can find you the perfect narrator for your job.

Step 2:
Send me an e-mail with the relevant copy attached and specifying which Voice Code you would like to narrate it. Also include any specific formatting and audio quality requirements, if you have them. If you don't specify, I will send you a 44.1 khz, 16-bit, 128 kbps, mono MP3 file. This should be more than sufficient quality for most needs.

Step 3:
I will reply with a confirmed, guaranteed price, payment instructions and an estimated completion date. (Most audio books take two to three weeks to complete.)

Step 4:
Confirm your acceptance of price, payment terms and completion date.

That's it. Told you it was easy.

Thank you for your business. I sincerely appreciate it.
