Wondering how much an audiobook narrator costs? Most audiobook narrators will charge ‘per completed hour’, which means how long your finished audiobook is. RJ can work out approximately how much this will be based on the length of your book i.e. it’s word count. You’ll always know up front roughly how much the finished book is going to cost.

“I can’t thank RJ enough for the time, effort, and professionalism he delivered while working on my project. The voiceover work he provided was superb, and he was fantastic all the way. If I had an issue with how something sounded (which was VERY rare), he fixed it immediately. The series is expected to range anywhere from three to nine separate novels, and I intend to have RJ there every step of the way, giving a voice to the world I’ve created.”
