OwnVoice Studio is a product of Onikan Global Solutions LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), based in Pennsylvania. By using this website, you accept these terms for the website. A production project is governed by these terms together with the written quote we confirm for your book; if the two ever differ, the written quote for your project governs your project.
Effective date: November 11, 2026
The service
OwnVoice Studio produces audiobooks from authors' manuscripts, narrated in a digital clone of the author's own voice. The service includes consent first voice intake, narration production, a pronunciation review loop with the author, chapter review, and delivery of finished masters. The studio also offers Ghost Narrator, a service line for heritage audiobooks, quoted individually in writing.
Pricing
OwnVoice Studio productions are priced at $200 per finished hour plus a $400 production fee, with a $1,400 minimum and a $2,900 maximum per book. A typical book of seven finished hours costs $1,800. Your exact finished hours and price are confirmed in a written quote before production begins, and the quoted price is the price for the work described in that quote.
Voice consent
- We clone only the voice of the author, recorded by the author in the intake flow.
- Before a voice is built, the author personally reads and ticks the consent attestations in the intake flow. We do not attest on an author's behalf, and we do not build a voice without them.
- By submitting a voice recording, you confirm that the voice is your own and that you have the right to have it cloned for your book.
- Your cloned voice is used for your project. It is not sold, shared, or used for another author's work.
- Narration is digitally produced from your cloned voice. That fact is disclosed on this site, and authors should disclose it wherever the audiobook is offered, in line with each store's own rules.
Your manuscript and your rights
You keep all rights in your manuscript. Submitting it gives us only the permission needed to produce your audiobook: to hold it, work from it, and deliver your masters. You confirm that you hold the rights needed to have the manuscript produced as an audiobook. We do not acquire any ownership in your book by producing its audio.
Ownership of finished masters
Finished masters delivered for your project are owned outright by you, the author. You may sell, distribute, and license them as you choose. We claim no rental, license back, or ongoing fee over your masters.
Stores and distribution
Each audiobook store and platform sets its own rules for digitally narrated audio, and those rules change. Ownership of your masters means the distribution choices are yours; it is not a promise that any particular store will accept any particular title. We state what we know about store rules plainly when we know it, and we never guarantee a store's decision.
Review and corrections
Production includes the pronunciation review loop and chapter review described on the How It Works page. Flag pronunciation and production errors during review and we will correct them as part of your production. Changes to the manuscript itself after production has begun are new work and are quoted in writing before they are produced.
This website
The content of this website is provided for information about the studio and its services. We work to keep prices and descriptions accurate; the written quote for your project is the binding statement of price for your book. Nothing on this site is legal, tax, or publishing advice.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability in connection with a production is limited to the amount you paid for that production. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Changes
We may update these terms and the published pricing for future projects. A project already quoted in writing keeps the terms and price of its quote.
