We started on overflow work for the Bath audiobook houses.
Our first audiobook work came in as freelance overflow editing for Chivers, two of us at the time. Chivers became BBC Audiobooks and then AudioGO, a few miles up the road from us. Anyone who worked in UK audiobooks in those years knows that chain, and knows how it ended for the people who relied on it. Thankfully we have been editing continuously through all of it and everything since, for clients worldwide.
Our clients keep coming back.
Publishers and production companies who send us titles on a standing basis, rather than one at a time.
Skyboat Media
Skyboat record in three studios in the San Fernando Valley, produced by Stefan Rudnicki and Gabrielle de Cuir and drawing on a roster of more than two hundred narrators. We handle the majority of the post — full-cast and single-narrator titles, edited and proofed to their spec. The time difference works in everyone's favour: sessions wrap in LA at the end of their day and come back to them by the start of the next one.
It is the longest-running relationship we have, and the reason we are set up for volume rather than one-offs.
“The majority of our post-production is handled by the amazing group of editors and proofers at PhaseShiftAv in the UK.”Skyboat Media — The Team
Chatterbox Audio
Chatterbox run spoken-word and voice-over studios in Wiltshire and London, producing audiobooks, e-learning, radio programming and voice-over work. Editing and mastering for them has been a freelance arrangement since 2010 — engaged in a personal name rather than through the studio, and listed here because it is the longest-standing working relationship we have.
