Produce an audiobook

An audiobook production takes a manuscript (either an existing Voysey novel or a script you bring in) and turns it into a narrated audio file with distinct voices for each character, ambient beds where the story needs them, and a mix that sits nicely in your ears.

Two starting points

• From a Voysey novel: pick a novel you have already produced. Voysey uses the manuscript, the character voices you have cast, and the continuity ledger for consistency.
• From a fresh script: bring in a manuscript or script you wrote yourself. Voysey walks you through casting voices for each speaking character.

Casting voices

Every character who speaks needs a voice. Use Give a character a voice to create a voice for each cast member, preview it, and assign. Voysey uses the assigned voice everywhere that character speaks. Narration handles the rest with a chosen narrator voice.

Chapters as the structural unit

Audiobooks are structured around chapters, meaning one narrated track per chapter. That makes it easy to re-run just one chapter if a take is off, and the resulting file has chapter markers baked in.

The mix

The mixer treats narration, dialog, ambient sound, and music as their own layers. Balance them the way you want in Mix your audio. A quieter ambient bed for dialog-heavy chapters, a fuller mix for action.
