Answers to common questions about production, workflows, and working together.
What are the benefits of working with Audatio?
Expert support, without the runaround: You work directly with our production team, from initial planning through to final delivery.
Smarter casting: Access to a voice pool of more than 1,500 talents, supported by our experience, data, and dedicated casting tools.
Efficient production workflows: Our own technology supports key steps from script preparation and production to proofing and finalization, helping us keep processes streamlined and cost-efficient.
Flexible additional services: From editorial support and script adaptation to sound design and individual production requirements, we can adapt the scope to your project.
Quality built into every stage: Defined editorial and technical checks ensure consistent quality from recording through to the final master.
Distribution and royalty support: If needed, we also handle metadata, distribution through our partners, royalty accounting, and related administrative workflows.
Do you work with AI voices?
No. Our voices always come from real people. Every audiobook is recorded by professional voice actors, because that is exactly what makes the difference you can hear. We do use technology, but in the background: our in-house tools speed up the technical steps of production, never the storytelling itself.
How long does audiobook production take?
We work with fast and efficient production processes. The exact production time depends primarily on the length of the manuscript and the availability of the selected narrator.
As a general guideline, an audiobook can usually be completed within around six weeks. Shorter turnaround times may also be possible depending on the project.
How much does audiobook production cost?
Thanks to our many years of expertise, the use of in-house digital post-production infrastructure and a large throughput of audio book productions per year at our company, we are able to realize a high-quality product at quite a reasonable price.
Costs vary depending on the number of words (even better characters incl. spaces) as well as selection and number of voices. All prices are based on final playing time and include casting, script check, quality control and post-production/mastering.
If we have the opportunity to get an overview of the project/script, we can best advise how we could support and put together a proposal.
Can I distribute my audiobook independently?
Of course. Distribution through us is an optional service we offer to our production clients at very low additional cost.
There is no obligation to use our distribution channels, and you are free to distribute the production elsewhere. If preferred, we can also put you directly in touch with our distribution partners.
What do I need to prepare and deliver?
That depends entirely on how the collaboration is to proceed: In principle, a finished version of the script should be available. We offer an all-round service from editing to editorial support to the adaptation of print content for the audio version (references, diagrams, etc…) or are happy to work hand in hand.
Do you also distribute physical products or ebooks?
At present, we distribute audio products to all relevant digital platforms. We do not provide distribution for ebooks, audio CDs or MP3 CDs.
However, we are happy to assist with the preparation and manufacturing of physical products, for example by supplying press-ready DDP or ISO images.
Do I retain all rights to my audiobook?
Yes. Under our distribution agreement, you only grant us the rights required to make the digital product available through the relevant stores.
All copyrights remain with you. Our standard agreements also have no minimum term and can therefore be terminated if, for example, you decide to work with another distribution provider.
In addition, our distribution agreements apply only to the specific product concerned and do not affect any other titles by the publisher or author.
