Hi all,
I have Narrated, edited, mastered and produced literally hundreds of audio books for Audible/ACX...Additionally, I've also done audio work for many projects, including other (Non-Audible Related) audiobooks, lots of podcast editing, intros, outro's / corporate and commercial media audio .... so, yes I have experience doing this stuff!
The $50.. per hour price is 50 PFH (per finished hour for narration) typically only relates to Audio-Books, in other words, if your audiobook is three hours (about 30,000 words) then it would cost a total of $150 for the project (if I narrate), even though it takes longer than that to record edit and master the project.
The bottom line, is that when it comes to audio book work that I have recorded, you usually know exactly how much it will cost in advance......If you have recorded the Audio-book yourself, the price can vary widely depending on the recorded quality and what must be done to bring it into conformity... If you simply need your self recorded book to be brought into ACX requirements and uploaded then the price for that is typically quite reasonable.
PLEASE NOTE: Any hourly work that runs over 20 hours automatically gets its hourly rate reduced by 20%.
Prices for SHORT-FORM narration vary by project due to the many variables, music track... noise, editing issues etc...
Just contact me so we can discuss exact pricing... it will be reasonable!
In other words "EVERYTHING is NEGOTIABLE!"
All audio is recorded edited and mastered by me, using my studio which utilizes professional-grade gear.
Thanks, Mike

Iโm an Audio Engineer and Sound Designer focused on creating clear, immersive, and emotionally grounded audio for games, podcasts, audiobooks, and digital media. My work spans sound design, music composition, editing, mixing, and post-production, with a strong emphasis on technical precision and creative storytelling.
Before transitioning fully into audio, I spent several years in technical QA and production environments, collaborating closely with developers, producers, and cross-disciplinary teams. That background sharpened my attention to detail, version control discipline, and ability to deliver clean, reliable assets under real production constraints.
Iโm actively pursuing opportunities in audio engineering, sound design, podcast/audiobook editing, game audio, and audiovisual production, whether it's freelance, contract, or full-time.
Audiobook Credits:
I have worked on over 15 different audiobooks for independent audiobook freelance work; 5 being edits, 9 being QC projects, and I have also worked in studio to work on engineering a project, recording the voiceover while following the script of a full audiobook.
All work listed here was done with RVM Sounds.

Hello there, Randy Ward here! I'm an Audio Post-Production and Music engineer with over 36 years of professional experience, primarily engineering in the top recording studios and audio post houses in NYC... so sad that so many iconic NYC music studios and audio post houses have since closed their doors.
It's not an easy decision choosing an audio freelancer for your project. There are so many qualified and experienced audio engineers competing here on Upwork, many with decent resumes and lower rates than I post. But take my word, there is absolutely NO substitute for the experience, longevity, professionalism and creativity that I bring to the table. It's not easy to get a 100% Client satisfaction Rating.
All I ask is that you take a chance and message me to say "hey!" - see where it goes...I know I'm your guy! ๐
ABOUT ME:
I am a proud Berklee College of Music graduate ('90) with a degree in Music Production & Engineering and Minor in Electric Bass Performance. Still a hard-working musician, I'm an electric bassist, freelance live sound engineer & band leader gigging 100+ days per year, up and down the beautiful Jersey Shore with my band, The Drunken Clams.
I specialize in practically everything concerning audio production for Music & Film/Video:
Film & Video Post Production sound design, editing & mixing (dialog/music/sfx/foley/ADR)
Mixing in Stereo or 5.1 Surround
Dialog editing, Voice-over/ADR recording & editing
Music tracking, editing, mixing & mastering
Audio repair and restoration

Live sound and Live Recording
My studio, Big R Music & Post-Production, provides excellent audio recording, editing, mixing and mastering services for any project, no matter how big or small. My mix room is acoustically treated and is an optimal voice-over/ADR recording environment.
I'm an "old school" engineer who knows the technology, but I use my EARS and my creative abilities to get the job done right. Proper audio editing and mixing is a true art form, and I am blessed to be able to practice the "art" every day.
I work in Pro Tools Ultimate (HD) & use RX10 Advanced and the entire iZotope suite of products. I have a huge SFX & music library, professional studio tools & restoration/mixing/mastering/instrument plug-ins from all the top manufacturers: UA, SoundToys, AVID PRO, Waves, FabFilter, Melodyne, STL Tones, Native Instruments, Accusonus, Synchro Arts, Sound Particles, Eventide, etc.
