“I feel lucky that so
many of my authors
have chosen to hire
Tavia to narrate their
books..”
—Brooke Warner
“I had no
experience with
acting and, like
many people,
cringed at the
sound of my voice.
That’s when I
reached out to Tavia
Gilbert…”
—Rachel Rueckert
“You were so
insightful and
graceful during our
recording session.
Thank you.”
— JD Jackson
“The recording over
the past week was
an incredibly
profound
experience for me,
even more deeply
personal than the
actual writing of the
book…”
—Robert Macaulay
“It’s the gentle,
intuitive guide
within that you are
able to access for
yourself and others
that makes you so
great!”
—Linda Korn
“Tavia coached me
through the
recording of my
audiobook in such a
profound and
sacred way.”
—Dr. Christy Bauman
You know your story
was
meant to be heard.
You’ve already imagined how your book should sound — intimate, confident, unforgettable.
But the process?
It’s a dizzying swirl of recording software, production portals, distribution platforms,
and marketing choices you didn’t know you’d need.
Plus the million-dollar question:
Will anyone even hear it?
Without the right help, your brilliant book might end up as a well-written desktop icon.
You want people to hit play and get lost in the story. You want goosebumps.
You want to release it into the world and feel proud — not add it to the list of things that are just good enough.
This isn't just recording —
it’s a creative rite of passage…
Your story is sacred.
And it needs to be brought to life
with passion, beauty, and soul.
From the first call to final delivery (and beyond), you’ll be met with the kind of care that says, “Your story matters,” and also, “Cue the confetti.”
Discovery & Setup
Once you share your manuscript and preferences — we take the wheel. Expect a clear timeline, a solid distribution strategy, and a production process that feels like an exhale.
Coaching or Casting
If you’re narrating, we’ll prepare you — technically, creatively, emotionally — with personalized coaching and full-spectrum support that ensures you feel your most powerful behind the mic.
If you’d rather cast, we’ll handpick voice talent, curate custom samples, and guide you to the perfect match — no overwhelm, just aligned excellence.
Recording
We handle studio booking, scheduling, and support. You just show up and make legacy-level art.
Post-Production
Your audio gets the royal treatment — precision editing, expert mastering, and eagle-eyed quality checks — by both sharp AI and even sharper human ears.
Every pause, every breath, every beat is polished until it shines.
Review + Revisions
It’s your time to kick back with headphones and hear your brilliance come to life.
We’ll tweak, polish, and zhuzh every moment — the kind of experience that gives you chills and makes your future self proud.
Because this isn’t just audio. It’s your words, immortalized in surround sound.
Distribution + Optional Marketing
The polished recording is only the beginning. We shepherd it from final file to full resonance — so it doesn’t just get uploaded, it gets remembered.
