Tag an unlimited number of samples in your Profile, based on accents, genre, and style. The more audio samples you include, the easier it is for authors to find you.
Step 3. How do you want to get paid?
Choose a per-finished-hour rate, or choose to share 50% of royalties. If you're unsure, choose both.
Step 4. Audition

Step 5. Accept the Offer
When a Rights Holder makes you an Offer, agree on delivery dates for the first 15 minutes of audio and the final audiobook, and payment terms.
Step 6. Start Recording
Record, edit, and upload the a 15 minute checkpoint of the audiobook, which the Rights Holder will approve or provide feedback. When the sample is approved, record the remainder of the project.
Step 7. Work with Other Studio Professionals
To create a professional audiobook, you may want the guidance of other audiobook experts. If you need to hire one, or more, we have Independent Contractor Agreements you may use.

Step 8. Finish the Recording
Upload each completed chapter of the audiobook to meet our Audio Submission Requirements and Production Standard Terms. Before payment, the Rights Holder must approve the full audiobook, and has the right to request changes.
Step 9. Get Paid
If you and the Rights Holder agreed on a Pay for Production fee, you will be paid directly by the Rights Holder. If you produced the audiobook as a Royalty Share deal, then you'll be paid based on 50% of the royalties on sales.
Step 10. Come back for more
ACX has tons of books waiting to be turned into audiobooks, so keep auditioning! If you're highly experienced narrator with at least 25 audiobook credits, apply to be an Audible Approved Producer.
