Passionate Poetry Audiobook Production

I have 65 original poems ready to be brought to life for an adult audience, and I want each line delivered with real fire—every rise, fall, whisper, and roar heard exactly as it is felt on the page. Your voice should lean energetic and passionate rather than calm or solemn, steering listeners through the emotional highs and lows without losing clarity or diction.

Beyond performance, I need end-to-end post-production. That means the standard cleanup—noise reduction, breaths, clicks, volume matching—plus creative enhancement: tasteful sound effects where they heighten the meaning, and subtle background music beds that never compete with the words. Think of it as cinematic poetry.

I’ll provide finalized texts (PDF) and any notes on pacing or emphasis. You’ll record, edit, master, and return publish-ready WAV/MP3 files. Ideally, each poem sits in its own track with one compiled master file at the end. I typically work in Adobe Audition, Reaper, or Audacity, so sessions in those formats are welcome if you use them.

Deliverables
• 65 individually mastered poem tracks
• One continuous, gap-free master file
• Session/source files and a simple cue sheet (timestamps, FX stems)

Acceptance Criteria
• Vocal tone matches “energetic and passionate” brief
• Peaks normalized to ‑3 dBFS, loudness −16 LUFS ±1 LU
• No audible artifacts, background noise, or clipped consonants
• FX and music mixed beneath voice, never masking diction

If you thrive on expressive narration and polished audio craftsmanship, let’s talk timeframe and get started.
