Radio play / audio book production from Basel
Where listening
becomes a performance
Audiobooks and radio plays translate texts, characters and scenes into a spoken form that conveys stories completely aurally.
For publishers, authors and media companies
Staged language formats for narrative content
An audio book or radio play is a spoken or staged audio format that conveys content entirely through audio. It is used by publishers, authors, media companies and educational institutions to make literature, stories or documentary content accessible.
A good audio book or radio play has a clear text, a suitable voice and a dramaturgy that keeps the content comprehensible. Sound, role distribution and noises must be used in such a way that the action remains clear and works without visual support.
OSLO STUDIOS produces audio books and radio plays with professional direction, careful recording and a structured process for editing, processing and mixing. Sound, voice, music and noises are created in our own studio and adapted to the target medium.
Typical components are text editing, voiceover, recording, sound recording, fine editing, mixing and playout in the required distribution formats.
