↳ For listeners
For the readers who listen
Narrator casting, studio production, mastering, and ACX-ready delivery, from a manuscript you have already finished.
Professional casting
We audition voice actors to find the perfect tone, accent, and pacing for your book.
Studio-quality production
Recorded in professional environments and mastered to industry standards.
Platform ready
Files are delivered fully compliant with ACX (Audible), Findaway Voices, and other major distributors.
Audiobooks are the fastest-growing segment of the publishing industry. For many readers, listening is the only way they consume books. If you don't have an audiobook, you are leaving an entire audience on the table.
ACX Compliance
Amazon's audiobook platform, ACX, has notoriously strict technical requirements for audio files (noise floor, RMS levels, peak values). An audiobook that fails these checks will not be published.
We guarantee that all files we deliver will pass ACX QA on the first try, saving you weeks of frustrating back-and-forth.

↳ In their words
What authors said
“The audiobook process was completely opaque to me until Beacon Light explained it. They handled casting, directed the sessions, and delivered ACX-ready files. My book is now in three formats and I own all of them.”

↳ Questions
Frequently asked
Can I narrate my own book?
Yes, but we usually recommend against it unless you are a trained speaker or it's a deeply personal memoir. Narrating is a specific skill.
