Dramatic US Kids Audiobook Narration
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have a fantasy story written for listeners aged 9-12 and I want it brought to life with a single, dramatic-and-intense narration delivered in a pure US American accent. The recording should feel as if the listener is swept straight into the adventure—rising stakes, clear character voices, and pacing that keeps pre-teens glued to their headphones.
What I’ll hand over:
• The full, finalized manuscript with scene notes and brief character sketches.
• Any pronunciation guides or tricky invented words from the world-building.
What I need back:
• A clean, fully mastered audio file (wav or 320 kbps mp3) ready for Audible/ACX standards.
• Sub-files or marked chapters that match my table of contents.
• A short 60-second sample pulled from a pivotal scene so I can promote the audiobook ahead of launch.
Acceptance criteria:
• Consistently authentic US accent—no noticeable regional slips.
• Energetic performance in intense moments without clipping or distortion; softer passages still clear and engaging.
• Noise floor below –60 dB, RMS and peak levels within ACX guidelines, and no audible mouth clicks or background hum.
If you have experience voicing multiple kid-friendly characters in the fantasy realm and can turn projects like this around quickly, I’m ready to hear a brief demo from you using any excerpt you choose.
