Audio post-production · Voice AI · UK-based, working worldwide

Audio that passes QC the first time.

Audiobook production and ACX-ready QC, audio drama sound design, podcast post, and AI multilingual dubbing — from an audio engineer who works at both the waveform and the AI voice layer.

What We Do

Studio Track Configuration
TRK 01

Audiobook post-production

RMS −23 to −18 dB · PEAK ≤ −3 dB

Full post for indie authors, publishers, and production houses: dialogue editing, noise reduction, EQ and mastering to ACX and retailer specifications. You record (or generate) the narration — we make it release-ready.

AI narration quality control

SYNTHETIC NARRATION ARCHITECTURE

Synthetic narration is fast, but it fails in ways human narrators don't: mispronunciations, artifacts, pacing glitches, tonal drift. We QC AI-narrated audio line by line and deliver a clear, timestamped report — plus corrected audio where needed — so what reaches your listeners sounds intentional, not automated.

WORLD BUILDING · LOUDNESS SPECS

Dialogue editing, sound design, Foley, music integration, and final mix to broadcast loudness standards. We build worlds you can hear, and mixes that hold up on everything from studio monitors to phone speakers.

How We Work

Operational Blueprint
Phase 01

Goal-Driven Alignment

Every engagement starts with your goal, not our process. Tell us what the finished audio needs to do — pass ACX review, hit a launch date, match a house sound, or survive a distributor's QA.

Phase 02

Backward Engineering

We work backwards straight from your target metrics. We scope out your project timelines honestly, flag any technical profile risks early, and verify formatting boundaries before edits begin.

Phase 03

Continuous Sign-off

We maintain an open communication channel directly with your team until the final masters are completely delivered, checked, and approved. Your goals are our explicit project brief.

Audiobook estimate

From £100 per finished hour

Industry standard: ≈ 9,300 words per finished hour of audio.

Finished hours 6.5 h
Your estimate from £645

Estimate covers editing, mastering and ACX QC of narrated audio at £100 per finished hour. Full AI-narrated production and sound-designed projects are quoted per project — send the manuscript for a fixed quote.

About

The Orchid Post is an audio post-production studio built on a simple belief: listeners forgive almost anything except bad sound.

The studio is led by Henry, an audio engineer with an MA in Audio Production and a background that spans two worlds — traditional post-production and the new generation of AI voice technology. That combination matters. Whether your narrator is a person in a booth or a synthetic voice, we know how to make the result sound clean, consistent, and human, and we can diagnose problems at the level most editors miss: not just what sounds wrong, but why.

We're not a volume shop. Every project gets an engineer who has actually listened to your material, understands what you're trying to achieve with it, and treats your deadline as a commitment rather than an estimate.

And we believe great audio work is built on great communication. You'll always know where your project stands — clear timelines, honest updates, and quick answers, whether you're in London, Los Angeles, or New York. No radio silence, no jargon, no surprises on delivery day.
