At Bay Area Audiobooks, we are dedicated to helping you turn your written words into an engaging audiobook. We understand the importance of capturing your unique voice and style in every narration and believe passionately that your story should be told by you the author, in your own voice. From start to finish we are here to help guide you through the process.
Please reach us at bayareaaudiobooks@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Bay Area Audiobooks is an audiobook production service designed exclusively to help authors narrate their books turning them into audiobooks. With over 40 years of experience in the audio/music industry for the last 15 years, we have focused exclusively on audiobooks. We have over 500 audiobooks worth of experience to help you with yours.
The general guideline for estimating time needed is based on a word count of approximately 9200 words equaling approximately one hour of finished audio. This will take roughly 2 to 2 1/2 hours in the studio with proper preparation and direction.
Yes, we offer professional recording services using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques in a world class facility to ensure the highest quality sound and experience. Not just that, you will work with an experienced audiobook director throughout the entire process.
No, at this time we do not offer publishing services. Most clients upload directly to ACX/Audible. Some choose to use alternative distributors such as Authors Republic.
You can think of an audiobook director as a guide and your own personal narration coach throughout the process. While following along word for word with the manuscript and pointing out any discrepancies or omissions, we also work to make sure that the pacing and the energy as well as the emotional delivery matches the material appropriately.
We do not do casting or have narrators to narrate your book for you. While there's certainly nothing wrong with that if you decide to go that route, it just isn't what we do best. We believe with non-fiction writing that the best person to narrate, and the one most suitable to tell the story to the listener is the author themselves. The authenticity and connection to the material is truly a perfect match. That said, if you as the author have procured someone to read the material for you, we would still be happy to handle the production of the audiobook.
Record your audiobook in a state of the art world class recording facility with a director/engineer with over 35 years of audio experience.
Your audiobook will be edited to the highest standards and will match the quality of major top publishing companies. All post produced files will be ACX/audible compliant.
From opening credits to audio upload we guide you through the entire process with our experience and expertise to produce the highest quality narration you can deliver of your book. Our goal with every project is to create an environment and an experience where you, as the author only have to focus on telling your story. We'll take care of the rest.
You wrote the book in your own words… Now you can tell it, in your own voice. At BAA we truly believe that nobody is more qualified to tell your story than you, in your own voice. We are here to help every step of the way so that you can authentically narrate the audiobook version of your book in your words and your voice, the way it was meant to be heard. We guide you through every step of the process so that all you have to do is tell your story. We look forward to guiding you through the process from start to finish so that the book you wrote for others to read can be read in your own voice for others to hear.
We love helping authors make audiobooks. After an initial estimate, we are happy to provide a complimentary consultation to discuss your project in detail.
