At Kore Sounds, we provide full-service audiobook production, editing, and mastering from our dedicated audiobook recording studio in Nottingham. Whether you're a publisher, independent author, or voice actor, our team offers a complete solution for producing Audible-ready audiobooks — all under one roof.
We work with clients across the UK, from Nottingham and London to Manchester and Birmingham, offering in-person and remote recording options.

Audiobook Editing and Proofing Services
Once the recording is complete, our editors get to work. Our audiobook editing service ensures every file is tightly edited for pacing, removes unwanted noise or distractions, and maintains consistency throughout the narration.
Our proofing service involves a careful listen against the original manuscript, ensuring that the final product is faithful to the written word. We focus on clarity, flow, and technical compliance so that your book is ready for publishing.
