Audiobook Studio · Tasman PublishersFor Australian and New Zealand authors: we cast the right narrator, direct every session, edit and master each chapter to retail specification, and get your audiobook into the ears of listeners on every major platform.
Different books need different voices. From a tense thriller to a picture book full of character voices, every production is cast and directed for the story it is telling.
Mara Ellison
Tense, close and atmospheric
“The storm reached Cape Mercy an hour before the ferry was due, and by nightfall there was no ferry, no radio and no road back to the mainland.”

Rich, cinematic, many character voices

Warm, playful, two points of view
“Callum Reid had grown up. That was the first unfair thing.”

What authors usually ask before their first audiobook.
