Embark on an audio journey like never before.
Let Natasha Verna's voice transport you
to new realms of imagination.
Please feel free to reach out to me to start the discussion. I'd like to learn more about your work and the audio project(s) you are considering. Our discussions will help inform if we are a good fit to work together. If we find that I am not quite right for this project, then I will do my best to recommend other voice talent (narrators, voice actors, production companies, etc.).
Solo/Duet/Dual Narration Raw Audio (Asynchronous): $250 + PFH for Raw Audio
PFH = Per Finished Hour: The audiobook industry works in units of per finished hour. This means you pay per hour of completed audio produced; you do not pay the narrator per hour they work. So, if it takes them 20 hours to record an 8-hour book, they get paid for the 8 hours of audio.
† Please note: Rates are negotiable and vary depending on type, complexity, and length of the project.
* Package and post-production costs vary due to the availability of engineers and the variation in engineering rates as well as production company/team rates and fees.
Solo Narration Package† : $300-$350* PFH
PLEASE NOTE: (I am NOT currently taking Solo Packages submissions ("fully produced by me" audiobooks). I AM, however, taking Solo Narration Projects but please contact me for recommendations on production companies and teams that I work with for production and post production of your audiobook.)

† If you select a Narration Package, I, as your narrator/producer for this project, will not only record my sections of your project but also manage all post-production services. This includes audio proofing, editing, professional mastering, full error and limited performance corrections, and promotional audio content (optional). This results in “ready to upload” files.

I am Currently CLOSED for Submissions on Projects through Royalty Share and Royalty Share +
These rates are normally included in Royalty Share (RS) with production sites like ACX.
RS Solo Narration: Royalty %
RS+ PLUS Solo Narration Package† (under 75,000 words): $150-200 PFH + Royalty %
RS+ PLUS Solo Narration Package† (75,000+ words): $175-225 PFH + Royalty %

This results in “ready to upload” files.

** Example of the Duet/Dual Narrator Package: Let's say my finished recorded time for your book is 8 hours. The total project length is 12 hours (this includes both narrators’ sections and is the length of your completed audiobook). Your invoice from me would look something like this:
Raw recorded audio fee: 8 hours x $200 PFH = $1,600
Project post-production fee: 12 hours x $125* PFH = $1,500
Total invoice amount = $3,100
You would pay my co-narrator their raw audio “PFH” fee, and they would send me the files. They would invoice you separately.
