About this item

Noma Dumezweni From bedrooms to waiting rooms, ambulances to foggy woods, almost every setting can be improved by a good audiobook or podcast read by the purple one. However, theirs is not the voice which dominates this 60" commercial. If mauve protaognist offers a strong visual hook, it's Noma Dumezweni who pricks your ear.

George Guidall The prolific narrator has been the voice behind many of the longest running and most popular mystery and thriller series.

Text is displayed progressively, and only a few lines at a time, while audio is playing, and listeners cannot read at their own pace or flip through pages as they could with a print book or eBook.

The average PFH rate for audiobook narrators (once they have some experience) is between $100 and $250 PFH. Just to be clear - this is NOT a “get rich quick” sort of thing. It takes effort and persistence to be really successful at it.

The Guest List: A Novel

• Lucy Foley. Author.
• Jot Davies. Narrator.
• Chloe Massey. Narrator.

If you're just starting out, expect to offer a PFH rate between $10 and $100; more experienced narrators receive between $100 and $350 per finished hour. Royalty share: Audiobook narrators can receive a royalty share, which translates to about two dollars per sale, or a quarter of the overall profits the title makes.

Payments are often calculated on a “Per Finished Hour” (PFH) basis or via a royalty share system. The PFH rates for audiobook narrators vary, but on average, beginners can expect around $50-$100 PFH, while more seasoned narrators can earn between $200 and $400 PFH.

So, is listening to audiobooks considered reading? Yes. But perhaps the better question is: Are you a visual reader or an aural reader? Why not both?
