For Authors
Turn Your Book into an Audiobook
Your book, your voice—or a narrator you have chosen. Hi-Tunes provides human-led audiobook recording and production for authors and publishers, with recording in Boca Raton and post-production for narration recorded here or elsewhere.
Choose the path that fits your book
Record your own book
If you want to narrate your audiobook yourself, you can record at Hi-Tunes in Boca Raton. Bring your manuscript and tell us about your book and recording plans so we can discuss the sessions you need.
Explore Audiobook RecordingWork with your chosen narrator
You may bring a narrator you have selected or hired. Hi-Tunes handles the agreed recording and/or production work. We do not provide a narrator by default; please tell us who will be reading the book when you inquire.
Bring narration already recorded
You do not have to record at Hi-Tunes to inquire about production. If your narration was recorded at another studio or at home, tell us about the audio and the work you need so we can review the project.
Explore Audiobook ProductionFrom manuscript to an agreed project
Start with your book and decide who will narrate it: you or a narrator you have chosen. Tell us whether the manuscript is complete and whether any narration has already been recorded.
Recording captures your narration
Recording is the session work that captures the reading and performance. If narration is still to be recorded, we discuss the recording arrangements and requested dates with you.
Learn about Audiobook RecordingProduction follows recording
Production and post-production follow narration recording: audio editing and cleanup, mixing, mastering, quality control and final file preparation. If you intend to deliver through ACX/Audible, tell us so we can review the applicable requirements and include preparation in your agreed scope. Platform acceptance is not guaranteed. We can review audio recorded here or elsewhere.
Learn about Audiobook ProductionYou may need recording, production or both. We review the project with you and agree the scope, pricing and schedule before work begins. Project completion follows those agreed arrangements.
A few details help us get started
You do not need to know every production term before contacting us. Share what you know about your book and where you are in the process:
- Your book title and approximate word count.
- Whether the manuscript is complete or still being prepared.
- Whether you will narrate it yourself or have chosen a narrator.
- Whether narration is already recorded, partly recorded or still to come.
- Recording, production or both, and your desired deadline.
If you already have recordings, describe where and how they were made. These details help us discuss suitable next steps; they do not automatically confirm that the project can be accepted.
