Landen Park Studio is an Audiobook Recording Studio specifically built for audiobook production, voiceover, vocal and instrumental overdubs and other single-artist work.
Occasionally, people see our rates and wonder if we’re any good – since our charges are so much more affordable than other operators. We’re happy to let our work speak for itself. There’s a partial list of our recent work available here, and some comments from our clients here.
How much does an audiobook cost to produce? Here’s our audiobook pricing:
If you are a self-publishing author – i.e. you are financing the book yourself, uploading it to audiobook platforms yourself, and promoting and marketing the book yourself, we offer to waive the studio recording time fees and just charge the production fees shown below:
Audiobook Prices for self-publishing authors:
- Up to 80,000 words – £1,200.00
- longer lengths £200.00 for each additional 10,000 words
(Minimum charge £1,200.00. Minimum £400 deposit must be paid in advance)
These prices include recording, direction, editing and mastering with delivery in both .WAV and .MP3 formats compliant with ACX/Audible/Findaway technical specifications – everything you need to be published. Presently, we are offering similar pricing for self-publishing authors using a narrator, with the author being responsible for the narrator’s fees. We recommend narrators from a pool of professionals we work with.
If you are working with a publisher, there are additional fees for recording time.
For all audiobooks, we will not quote any prices or timeframes until we have a copy of the manuscript in pdf format. You should send this to us with your initial enquiry. A link to our Wetransfer account is at the top of the contact form.
How much does voiceover cost? Here’s our voiceover pricing:
Prices for Voiceover:

PRICES FOR PUBLISHERS AND OTHER PROJECTS
Prices for publishers are quoted on an individual basis. We provide a flexible service ranging from recording and delivering raw audio through to complete production.
If you have a project in mind which doesn’t fit into the areas shown above, feel free to discuss it with us. We often quote a fixed, single price for a project so you know at the outset what your work is going to cost.
