What do we need?

We’re excited that you want to become a narrator! We just want to make sure that you upload the correct files to our database.

Don’t waste your time doing the most extravagant, musical, bombastic, and out-there productions. We just want a lifelike representation of what you will sound like as a narrator. We therefore suggest you narrate approx. two minutes of fiction, and most importantly, you upload your audio files in an mp3 format.

What should you expect?

Once you have applied through our survey, your application will land in our database. When we need a voice profile that’s not already in our catalog, the database is the first place we will look.

As such, you should not expect an answer right away, or even within a foreseeable time frame. That being said, a project needing your unique voice may be just around the corner.

Who can apply?

You don’t need a formal education or a specific background to become a Swann narrator, but we expect that you have a professional approach to working with your voice.

You might be a commercial speaker, a voice-over actor, or maybe a journalist, which has provided you with valuable insights as to how voice-work works.

If you don’t have any experience using your voice, you can apply to audition - reach out to one of our producers for more information.

How will I get paid?

When an audiobook has been narrated and thereafter finished by one of our audio engineers, you will be paid per finished hour of audio that makes up the completed audiobook.
