Company details

  1. Book Publisher

Written by the company

Academy Voices is an audiobook publisher, and every audiobook we make is narrated by a real person. That is our Certified Human Voice promise. For authors: post your book for free and hear auditions from professional human narrators. You choose the voice. Once you pick your narrator, a one-time $350 production fee covers production and publishing to nearly 50 stores, libraries and streaming services, including Audible, Apple Books, Spotify and hoopla. You can pay your narrator per finished hour, or choose royalty share and pay no narrator fee up front: royalties are split 40% to you, 40% to your narrator and 20% to Academy Voices for 10 years, then the narrator's share comes to you. Authors who already have a finished audiobook can publish with us for a one-time $150 fee. Authors never pay a membership. For narrators: a $9 a month membership gives you daily audiobook auditions, casting and royalties on every title you narrate, with optional tools for proofing and script prep. For listeners: we have published more than 750 audiobooks, from classics to new fiction, each with a named narrator and a free sample at academyvoices.com. Academy Voices was founded by narrator Anthony Pica and is based in Gloucester, Virginia.

Academy voices is a great resource for…

Academy voices is a great resource for narrators and authors to get together and realize their full vision of their work.

Speaking as a professional voice artist and narrator, I have been with Academy voices basically since the beginning. The new website update really puts Academy voices into the major leagues in my opinion.

Anthony has always run the organization professionally, and with the addition of the new website, which is polished and extremely utilitarian, I really believe this is the place to be if you're an author or narrator.

It is a night and day experience from ACX. ACX is the "industry standard" website for narrators and authors to find each other… Unfortunately beleaguered by spam, and slow response times.

Based on my experience with academy voices, I believe Anthony has solved these issues and will continue Providing an excellent environment for authors and narrators!

Enjoy! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks, Jason! You've been with us almost from the start, so that means a lot. Can't wait for The Captain's Vices on the 31st.

A great first year…

I joined Academy Voices about a year ago.
in the intervening period, I've been cast for 14 of their productions, (12 released, 2 coming soon.)
They've been very supportive of my efforts, and very flexible in our dealings.
I'm delighted to recommend them to authors and narrators alike. Thanks Anthony & team!

Wonderful so far.

So far, the overall layout of the site as a voice actor has been great. I love the opportunity to share my auditions and the communication between RH and performer has been awesome. I do wish there was an area under my profile to share more of my social media and to upload my standard contract for my work. This would be really useful.

Amazing experience

I just started out as a narrator and compared to ACX I have found Academy Voices to be much friendlier to start out on. It’s easy to get ahold of someone for help if you need it and the response time is unparalleled. Academy Voices is very focused on providing an amazing experience all around for narrators and authors alike. Which is something I feel is missing over on ACX, where you get inundated with scam requests left and right with no real feedback or help on how to fix the problem. Academy voices vets all of their people so I know I wont have to worry about that there. ACX might be bigger overall but I think that Academy Voices is a more supportive and a safer environment for narrators. That peace of mind alone makes it well worth the small expense to join. And with their rate of growth just since I started a few months ago I see them outshining ACX very soon.
