This process involves listening carefully to your audiobook files to locate and document:

• Repeated phrases (sometimes called outtakes) that should be deleted
• Missed words or phrases
• Accent/dialect inconsistencies
• Mispronunciations
• Unwanted sounds
• Quiet gaps that should be edited and/or filled with room tone

Rich will provide a log of the needed corrections, including time markers and text references from the manuscript.

Remember, this process involves listening to the entire audiobook plus any time necessary to note the needed corrections — typically 20% more time than the audiobook length.

$30 per finished hour

• Editing: Rich will clean your punch & roll recordings to help reduce lip/mouth sounds, reduce outside noises when possible (you should control this in your recording environment, but sometimes things slip into your recording), and adjust pauses that disrupt the pace or flow of your narration.
• Mastering – as described

$70 per finished hour
