narrate·CHILDREN'S AUDIOBOOKS
Give a children's story an audio edition shaped for its intended listeners. Narrate helps authors, publishers and educators direct expressive voices, clear dialogue and a comfortable listening pace.
A picture-book read-along, classroom story and longer chapter book call for different pacing and structure. Share the intended age range, setting and listening length so the production brief fits the story.
Choose the warmth, curiosity, surprise and reassurance the story needs. Pronunciation notes, short delivery cues and a sample help you review the performance. We check that directions stay separate from the words intended for listeners.
A single narrator can carry a story, while a dialogue-heavy book may suit several character voices. Agree the voice approach and any personal-voice consent before production. Multi-voice work is scoped in the quotation.
An educational refrain, short musical passage or environmental sound can be planned as part of the edition. Supply exact lyrics and approved music or request composition as an additional requirement. Listen to and approve these elements alongside the story.
Authors, teachers and caregivers can assess a preview for tone, vocabulary, pace and listening comfort. For children with learning difficulties or other access needs, agree adaptations around the individual audience rather than assuming one performance suits everyone.
Delivery can include chapter files, a full listening edition and a QR listening page for a printed book or reading resource. Confirm where the edition will be shared, the relevant rights and the hosting arrangements in the project agreement.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Yes. Provide the lyrics separately from the spoken story, with the language, musical direction and intended duration. Music production is scoped separately; approve a preview before it is inserted into the final edition.
Voice direction is reviewed through a sample. We do not promise an exact imitation of a performer, and any personal voice profile requires explicit authorization from its owner.
The starting estimate uses manuscript word count with progressive rates and a KSh 2,000 production minimum, plus applicable voice setup. Cast size, music, sound and other custom requirements are confirmed after reviewing the manuscript.
Send your manuscript and the age group, language and performance you have in mind. Start with an approved sample.
