About this gig
Show Them You're a Real Professional Author
Your audiobook isn't an isolated product to make some extra cash. It's your calling card.
A great audiobook influences how your readers see all your books. A bad one does too.
Show your readers an audiobook by a professional actor. Not a newb. Not lifeless AI.
I have dozens of repeat clients. They see firsthand how my performance grabs their readers and keeps them coming back. What authors don't want voracious readers buying their whole backlog?
Backed by two decades of experience, I'll craft an audiobook to make you proud - and boost your author business.
See if you and I are a good fit: check my samples.
Ordering an audiobook can be overwhelming. But hey, you finished writing a book. (Know how many people dream of writing and never do?) You got this! I've worked on thousands of projects, so I know the ropes. Questions? Ask me.
Once you've written your book, don't stop there. Because you're a pro. A pro audiobook tells readers that. Whether you're just starting your audiobook adventure or you need a narrator to redo the crappy audiobooks you may already have, I'm here to help.
What's your next step?

You are a professional author. When it comes to your audiobook, only a real professional actor will do.
One who is also an author, so I understand the sweat and heart you pour into YOUR books.
I record in a Whisper Room studio with top-end equipment. The perfect audio - no sound glitches or background noise - means your readers will get lost in your words.
From New York Times-bestselling TV personalities like Mark Tepper to independent authors just starting out, hundreds of people are trusting me to make their audiobook something they can be proud of. So why not you?

FAQ
Can I hear a voice sample?
Absolutely! I don't believe in canned voice samples. Send me a short selection of your project (a page or two, or maybe a key scene); I will record it for FREE, no obligation. You can also search "Dalan Decker" on Audible to see some of the hundreds of projects I've delivered.
What format do you record in?
I record in industry standard 44100/24 bit .wav. Delivery files are in MP3 unless otherwise specified.
What about time?
Audiobook narrating is VERY time consuming and may take longer than you realize. Calculate about 10 hours of real-world work per hour of audio (about 9200 words of text).
What equipment do you use?
I use the legendary Sennheiser® MKH-416 microphone. This handmade German microphone is an industry standard in Hollywood movies and recording studios. It offers a warm, smooth sound. I record in a WhisperRoom® iso booth with a dbx® all-analog audio processor.
Will you make it for AXC/Audible?
Yes. I understand all that stuff about RMS and so forth. Don't worry, your project will slip right through the ACX approvals process.
Can you do different voices or accents?
If your project calls for voices or accents, please send me a sample script and I can play with it. Please note that if you accept my audition and proceed to order, I'll expect you to accept the finished product.
What about Author's Republic/Findaway/Spoken Realms?
Yes, they all use the same standard as Amazon/ACX. You can find me on all those platforms, by the way, so I know what they require!
Do you charge extra for editing/mastering?
No, when you hire me you hire my voice and my editing skills. Most professional editors will charge you $70 per hour or more to edit and master your book. I do it all and pass the savings to you.
Can you make "enhanced" audiobooks (with music, SFX, etc.)?
Yes, I love working on those, but we need to discuss the price separately before order. There will be extra fees for the time and (of course) you'll have to license the SFX and music from a stock site.
Can you do dual-narrator/multi-narrator books?
Sure I can, but we need to discuss the specifics of each project before order. You will need to find the other talent and there will be extra charges for mixing everything together.
