# Audiobooks & podcasts

> Narrate audiobooks and podcasts with Voice One (expressive) or Voice Turbo (volume): cloned voices, punctuation-driven delivery, 13 languages, MP3 out. A 10,000-word chapter computed in credits.

Long-form narration is where per-character pricing gets interesting. Voice One reads with an actor's attention to punctuation; Voice Turbo does two thirds the price at volume; a cloned voice makes the whole book one narrator; thirteen languages open translations. Chapter by chapter, MP3 by MP3.

## The arithmetic

- A 10,000-word chapter is about 55,000 characters: 1,650 credits on Voice One, 1,100 on Voice Turbo.
- A 90,000-word novel: roughly 15,000 credits on Voice One — the Studio plan's monthly 20,000 with room for retakes.
- A 20-minute podcast script (about 3,000 words, 17,000 characters): 510 credits on Voice One, 340 on Turbo.

## Directing the read

Punctuation is the direction: commas for breath, ellipses for hesitation, dashes for cuts. Drop the speed slightly for narration, keep expressiveness moderate for a novel and higher for character dialogue. Draft chapters on Turbo to check pacing, render the final on Voice One.

## Starting points

- **Audiobook opener** — Chapter one. The letter arrived on a Tuesday, which was, she would later say, the first thing that went wrong.
- **Podcast cold open** — Before we start — a quick correction from last week. I said the bridge was built in 1932. It was 1923. Which, as you'll hear, changes everything.
