The Format

One distinct voice carrying your entire narrative. Perfect for the ultimate cohesive experience, and the fastest to produce at cost.
Best For
All Genres / Non-Fiction
Pricing
From $300 PFH
Precisely cast, seasoned actors who transform the text into deeply immersive experiences, each chosen
for their ability to serve the story.
Solo is the most versatile format, ideal for non-fiction, memoir, literary fiction, and single-POV stories where one distinct voice carries the entire narrative.
Solo production starts at $300 per finished hour (PFH); the scored Solo+ experience starts at $400 PFH. You only ever pay for the length of the finished audiobook, never studio time.
You do. 100%. CineSonic works on a Work-for-Hire basis. Once your final invoice is paid, every right transfers to you. We never take royalties or claim ownership. We do require one thing in return: a spoken producer credit in the finished audiobook, plus the right to feature our name on select marketing materials.
We measure timelines in finished hours of audio, roughly 9,300 words per finished hour (1FH). Once production is under way, recording averages about 1FH a day, with about a week of pre-production (casting and prep) and about a week of post (editing, mixing, mastering, QC) on either side.
Yes, guaranteed. We deliver retail-ready masters that pass ACX spec (−23 to −18dB RMS, −60dB noise floor), and they work on Findaway, Spotify, Kobo, and library platforms too.
Then we go find the one who does. Over a decade of casting expertise means that when our roster doesn't have the perfect voice for your characters, we run a custom casting call and hold auditions tailored to your book until we find the ideal match — your story is never limited to who's already on the roster.
What makes CineSonic stand out: a 100% human, multi-cast cinematic audiobook studio — handpicked voice actors, film-grade production, and authors who keep their rights. From our casting philosophy to the final master, this is cinematic audiobook production with nothing automated and no AI shortcuts.
A small, elite cast over a giant open-door database. Quality over quantity, every voice handpicked to disappear into a character.
