How To Hire a Narrator for Your Audio Book

1. Browsing the Website

We’ve made it easy for you to locate narrators who bring the pages of your book to life. There are two ways you can go about finding a voice talent, and you can do so directly from our home page.

You’ll notice the tabs in the navigation bar called “Female Narrators” and “Male Narrators“. Depending on the gender of voice talent you’re looking for, click on the appropriate tab to see a listing of professionals available at this website.

Alternatively, you can also search by keyword. Just as you would do a keyword search at Google or Yahoo!, you can type in words that describe what you are looking for by using the website search box. Try typing in a keyword, language, gender or location to view matching narrator.

You can find the search bar at the top of every page on this website.

2. Listen to Audio Samples

Start the hiring process by listening to professional narrators. Each narrator has a profile where you can learn about their experience, areas of expertise, special skills and services offered. You can also listen to a sample of their voice by playing their voice-over demo.

When playing the voice-over demos, listen for:

• Clarity
• Pacing
• Production Value
• Overall Quality

3. Contact a Narrator

Once you’ve found a professional that you’re interested in working with, contact them by sending them an email and remember to include some specifics so that the narrator can reply with a quote and turn around time for your project.

Be sure to mention:

• Script (can you send a sample of the script?)
• Length (what’s the page count or word count of your script?)
• Artistic Direction (what style of performance do you want?)
• Deadline (when do you need the recording done by?)
• Budget (how much can you invest in this voice over recording?)

4. Send Payment & Download Your Files

What happens next? When the narrator receives your email, they will reply to you with a final quote for the project. Some narrators may request a 50% deposit by PayPal while others may use the industry’s escrow service called SurePay.

Once your deposit is made, the narrator will record your script in their professional recording studio. When the work has been completed the voice talent will send you instructions on how to download your finished audio files.
