Many readers enjoy books most without a book in hand. Whether they’re commuting in the car, on a treadmill, biking the byways, or toiling in the garden, your readers might prefer to listen to your book. Audio books are desirable value-added products that can be bundled with book or eBook sales or sold individually.

Redbrush offers several options to help you provide those readers on the go with your book in the form they prefer: audio books. As with most manufacturing, the costs to produce your audio book files are dependent upon the time required and a few variables. We break the three phases of audio book production down into recording, post-production, and final product packaging.

 

Voice Talent

Sometimes you want to be the voice. Sometimes you want professional voice talent. Sometimes there’s no time to do it yourself.

PRICE: $75.00 per hour.

 

Production Recording

Our technicians setup and record your project. The production time for a 120-page book is about six hours.

PRICE: $75.00 per hour.

 

Post-production of In-house Recordings

Our technicians will complete the post-production phase of editing, adding sound effects, and preparing all files for delivery to you. The post-production time for a 120-page book is six to eight hours.

PRICE: $75.00 per hour.

 

Post-production of Outside Recordings

You have the option of providing us with digital audio files of your own recording, outside of our location. Our technicians will first determine if the files can be produced to professional results. This requires an hour or two of special consultation and review. If the files can be used, they’ll complete the post-production phase of editing, adding sound effects, and preparing all files for delivery to you. The post-production time for a 120-page book is six to eight hours.

PRICE: One to two hours of file appraisal at $100.00 per hour. Regular post-production is $75.00 per hour.
