Hello, I am looking for a professional narrator to record my audiobook. The audiobook is narrated in English, but it features numerous Spanish words, phrases and full sentences interspersed throughout the text. I am looking for a Native English speaker who can pronounce these Spanish terms naturally and accurately, without needing to be fully fluent in Spanish. Deliverables: Opening credits Closing credits Separate file for each chapter Audiobook sample Audiobook credits All files must meet the audio standards required by the platforms where they will be distributed. Audio Requirements: Final files must be fully edited, mastered, and 100% compliant with ACX/Audible technical standards (-23dB to -18dB RMS, -3dB peak, -60dB noise floor, 192kbps MP3 mono). Full list of requirements provided upon hiring. 100% human narration, editing and mastering. AI-generated voices, AI audio enhancers, or automated AI editing tools will not be accepted. Project Details: Budget: 70 per finished hour (PFH) Manuscript Length: Approximately 75,000 - 80,000 words Estimated Total Duration: Approximately 10 hours of finished audio Total Payment: 700 USD You will be paid per finished hour (PFH), which includes edited and mastered files that meet the platform's audio requirements. Audition Process: Before hiring, interested candidates will be asked to record a short 1 -2 minute custom audition from my book using a small sample excerpt provided from the manuscript (containing text in both English and Spanish). Freelancers interested in applying can message me to request the short excerpt for the custom audition. Please note that excerpts will be provided upon request. Initial milestone: From the initial auditions, the top 3 shortlisted candidates will be invited to record a 20-minute sample (23.33 USD each, based on the $70 PFH rate) covering specific selected pages as a quality checkpoint to review tone, pace, and technical specs before awarding the full project contract. Once the winning narrator is selected and hired from the 3 candidates who complete the paid 20-minute test milestone (covering key chapter excerpts to review tone, pace and audio standards), I will review the audio and provide initial feedback to ensure everything is fully aligned before moving forward with the rest of the manuscript. Funds will be held securely in escrow and released upon delivery and verification of files. Milestone schedules (e.g., initial 20-minute sample check, half-project, or chapter deliveries) can be negotiated with the selected narrator prior to starting. How to Apply: If you are interested, please send me a couple of samples from your previous audiobook narration work showing a calm, unhurried pace. Looking forward to collaborating with you! Best regards, Lorenzo Recio

Most bilingual audiobook narrators treat English and Spanish sections as two separate recording modes, when what actually matters here is a consistent narrative voice across both, since a listener shouldn't feel a tonal shift every time the language switches mid-book, the calm, unhurried pace you asked for needs to hold steady through both languages. I'd request the custom audition excerpt first to record the 1-2 minute sample as specified, keeping pacing and tone consistent across the English and Spanish portions. Once selected, I'd treat the 20-minute initial milestone as a real checkpoint, matching ACX/Audible technical specs exactly (RMS, peak, noise floor, mono MP3) before moving into the full manuscript, so corrections stay minimal rather than compounding across 10 hours of finished audio. All narration, editing, and mastering done by hand, no AI tools, as required. Could you send over the custom audition excerpt now so I can record and submit it today??

Hi Lorenzo, I’d love to be considered for your audiobook project. I’m a native-level English speaker and an experienced English tutor with several years of experience working with spoken English, pronunciation, and natural conversational delivery. I’m comfortable with Spanish words, phrases, and sentences within an English narration and can take care to pronounce them naturally and consistently. I also understand that the overall narration should remain calm, clear, and unhurried rather than sounding overly performed. I can provide clean, professionally edited and mastered audio according to your required technical specifications, and I’m happy to follow your chapter-by-chapter file structure and delivery requirements. I also fully understand your requirement for 100% human narration and editing. I’d be happy to complete the 1–2 minute audition using your provided excerpt. If shortlisted, I’m also comfortable completing the paid 20-minute quality-check sample before the full project begins. I’d be glad to send relevant narration samples and would look forward to bringing your audiobook to life. Best regards, Souzan

I’d love the opportunity to narrate this audiobook. I’m a native English speaker with a warm, clear, conversational voice and a growing background in character-driven and long-form voice work. I’m also comfortable reading aloud in Spanish and would like the sides to demonstrate my pronunciation using the custom English/Spanish audition excerpt before you make any hiring decision. What I believe makes me a strong fit for this project is my ability to combine natural storytelling with careful attention to pronunciation, pacing, and consistency. For a 75,000–80,000-word audiobook, I understand that maintaining the same voice, tone, and energy across chapters is just as important as delivering a strong initial audition. I have a dedicated home recording setup with a WhisperRoom isolation booth and Audio-Technica AT2020USB+ microphone and pop filter, allowing me to produce clean, consistent audio without relying on AI-generated voices or AI audio enhancement. I’m comfortable working from detailed production specifications and incorporating feedback throughout the project. I’m also comfortable with the proposed $50 PFH rate and your paid 20-minute shortlist process. I would be happy to record the requested 1–2 minute custom audition so you can evaluate both my narration style and Spanish pronunciation with material directly from the manuscript. I’d be excited to learn more about the book and would appreciate the opportunity to audition. Rachel Faddis
