Daily Native Fluency Across Essential Audiobook, Voiceover & Proofing Software
What Your Narrator Virtual Assistant Executes Daily
Professional audiobook narrators, voice actors, and commercial voice talent should spend their prime energy behind the microphone—breathing life into characters, tuning accents, and hitting recording cadences. Delegate the laborious script research, proofing markups, ACX chapter delivery, and invoicing friction to vetted specialists.
Manuscript Prep & Pronunciation Research
Never break your recording flow over foreign names or dialect questions. We comb manuscripts to build comprehensive phonetic pronunciation sheets, search native audio pronunciations on Forvo, and compile character trait bibles.
- ✔ Sourcing verified audio pronunciations for rare foreign words & medical jargon
- ✔ Building master character guides (voice pitch, accent, attitude & age)
- ✔ Pre-highlighting complex dialogue shifts and narrator voice cues in PDF/iBooks
Audio Proofing & Word-for-Word QC
Protect your production reputation with author rights holders and publishers. We perform word-for-word proofing against the manuscript, manage Pozotron reports, and flag misreads, mouth clicks, plosives, and repeated phrases.
- ✔ Listening to raw or edited chapter audio against the source text
- ✔ Logging exact timestamps for punch-and-roll pickups and mispronunciations
- ✔ Reviewing Pozotron automated AI flags to discard false-positive noise alerts
ACX & Findaway File Packaging & Uploads
Eliminate audio submission rejections. We organize exported audio chapters, verify header metadata, check ACX technical thresholds (RMS between -23dB and -19dB, peak below -3dB, room tone padding), and stage retail uploads.
- ✔ Ensuring proper chapter head/tail room tone padding (0.5–1.0s / 1–5s)
- ✔ Uploading files to ACX, Findaway Voices, Ingram CoreSource, and Authors Republic
- ✔ Uploading and reviewing square 2400x2400 cover art and sample clips
Audiogram Creation & Release Marketing
Keep your audiobook releases visible on social media. We slice thrilling 30-to-60-second audio hooks in Headliner, create dynamic waveform video clips in Canva, and coordinate release announcements with authors.
- ✔ Creating animated waveform audiograms for Instagram Reels, TikTok & YouTube Shorts
- ✔ Drafting promotional copy tagging the author, publisher, and Audible buy links
- ✔ Distributing ACX promotional review codes to listener clubs and reviewers
PFH Invoicing, Royalties & Contracts
Never lose track of your finished audio earnings. We calculate exact Per Finished Hour (PFH) totals down to the second, bill independent authors, follow up on milestone retainers, and log Royalty Share (RS) revenue.
- ✔ Calculating exact finished run-time totals (e.g. 9 hrs 42 mins @ $250/PFH)
- ✔ Staging professional PayPal, Wave, or QuickBooks invoices upon retail approval
- ✔ Organizing SAG-AFTRA union production paperwork & pension/health contributions
Casting Triage & Audio Roster Upkeep
Keep your production pipeline consistently booked. We review casting briefs on Voice123, Voices.com, and ACX, filter out low-rate or poorly rated rights holders, upload your audition takes, and update casting portfolios.
- ✔ Filtering daily audition opportunities by genre (Sci-Fi, Romance, Thriller, Nonfiction)
- ✔ Uploading audition MP3s and customized author pitch proposals
- ✔ Updating voice reels and audiobook audio samples on your website & casting profiles

"I narrate 35 to 40 finished hours a month across fantasy and romance. Prepping character pronunciation guides and reviewing Pozotron flags used to steal 15 hours a week. SageDoer builds my phonetic cheat-sheets and logs every pickup timecode cleanly. My booth productivity skyrocketed by 30%!"
"Delivering an 18-hour multi-POV sci-fi audiobook on ACX used to be an upload nightmare with room tone padding and chapter header rules. SageDoer checks every file specification and uploads directly. Zero ACX QA rejections this entire year."
"Having a single dedicated Project Manager oversee our Headliner promotional audiograms, author invoicing, and ACX promo code distributions at $6/hour has saved my studio over $50,000 compared to hiring an on-site audio assistant."
"Chasing authors for Net-15 PFH payments and sending milestone updates was so awkward. My SageDoer assistant calculates the exact finished run times, sends professional invoices with contract links, and handles gentle follow-ups. I always get paid on time now."
