AI Audiobook Production Consultancy
For UK and international publishers, tech companies, authors.
A blend of human and AI narration is a future we must navigate responsibly.
As technology rapidly improves, striking that balance is something we’re all carefully figuring out in real time.
Some publishers want to explore it, and others more cautious, afraid of how it may impact the listener experience. Regardless of where you sit within the AI debate, I think it’s important to have conversations about how these emerging technologies could affect us, and be intentional and ethical about how we use them.
As an independent audiobook production consultant, I work with publishers on their strategy, pilot projects if applicable, and stay abreast of the trends in this space, including listener thoughts — arguably, the most important puzzle piece.
End-to-end audiobook production
I will manage the full process of converting your title into a high-quality AI-narrated audiobook — from setup and voice selection through to QC, fixes, and final delivery. You get a finished audiobook without the technical complexity.
