Self-serve audiobook recording studio
Narrating your own book? Give your listeners the gift of recording in what publishers and professional narrators have called “one of the best sounding rooms in SoCal for recording audiobooks.”
Our beautiful boutique book recording studio is specifically designed and engineered to be quiet, comfortable, and creatively inspiring. All you have to do is show up, and we’ll take care of the rest. Here’s what you can expect from the experience:
Whisper-quiet
Our recording studio is a “room within a room,” which means we’ve built an entire extra layer of sound protection on all four sides. The walls are more than a foot thick, the alternating studs don’t touch or conduct sound, the windows are triple-paned, and our insulation is thick, premium rock wool.
What does this mean for you? A professional quality audiobook recording that even the quietest of outside sounds won’t interrupt.
Comfortable environment
We spend several hours a day in our studios, and it’s a priority for us and our authors that the space is comfortable and inspiring. To that end, we’ve done XYZ to make it a place we love to arrive at each morning, and a place that our clients love to return to again and again.
And it doesn’t hurt that San Diego and all it has to offer are right outside!
Affordable rates
Rent our space by the hour, ½, or full day. We’ll help you determine how much time you’ll need.
