Editing & Splicing
Seamlessly cutting out mistakes, retakes, dog clicks, and long pauses to create a smooth, continuous narrative flow.
Proof-Listening (QA)
Listening to the entire recorded audio against the original manuscript to catch misreads, mispronunciations, and skipped words.
Noise Reduction
Utilizing advanced tools like iZotope RX to remove background hum, mouth clicks, plosives, and sibilance without degrading voice quality.

Mastering tracks to hit exact retail standards: RMS between -23dB and -18dB, peak values below -3dB, and noise floors under -60dB.
Pacing & Breath Control
Adjusting the timing between sentences and paragraphs to ensure natural cadence, and manually reducing distracting heavy breaths.
Chapter Formatting

"My output as an independent narrator tripled. I just record the raw punch-and-roll, upload it to Dropbox, and my SageDoer VA sends back perfect, ACX-ready files."
