Studio Certification Program
Enroll in our friendly, expert-led program that guides author-narrators from a spare room to a broadcast-quality, industry-certified home recording studio — step by step.
You wrote the book. Now let's make sure the world can truly hear it.
Self-narrating your audiobook is one of the most powerful creative decisions you can make. But getting the audio right requires more than just a good microphone. Acoustic treatment, proper recording levels, software know-how... it can feel overwhelming. Luckily, you don't have to do it all alone. Our Recording Studio Setup & Certification Program pairs you with an experienced audio engineer who walks with you through every single step, so you finish with a studio that meets industry standards and a certificate that proves it.
Get Certified
When you complete the program, you'll receive an official Audio Recording Studio Certificate from AudioBee Productions, confirming that your home studio meets broadcast-quality, industry-standard recording benchmarks.
This isn't a participation ribbon. It's a verified, engineer-issued certification that your space, your equipment, and your recordings are genuinely ready for audiobook distribution. No second-guessing, no surprises.

The Journey
Five Stages.
One Certified Studio.
Each session builds on the last. You'll never feel thrown in the deep end. We move at your pace, together.
Stage 1 — Initial Meeting
$12045 min
We start with you; your book, your goals, your space. Our audio engineer lays out a clear roadmap so you know exactly what to expect and what to purchase to start building your own home recording studio.
Stage 2 — Recording Space Consultation
$8030 min
Acoustic treatment of the recording space is the single biggest factor in audio quality. Your engineer reviews your chosen space and gives you a personalized plan so you can treat your studio properly, and set you up for success.
Stage 3 — Hardware Setup & Troubleshooting
$16060 min
Unbox your gear with our engineer's guidance. We walk through every connection, configuration, and software install so nothing gets left to guesswork.
Stage 4 — Software Training & First Sound Check
$240
90 min
A hands-on software walkthrough followed by your very first real recording. Your engineer listens, gives feedback, and helps you pass a squeaky-clean sound check with confidence.
Stage 5 — 15-Minute Checkpoint & Certification
$54
20 min
Record the first 15 minutes of your actual audiobook, send it in, and receive expert feedback — plus a professionally mastered sample of what your finished narration will sound like. If your 15-minute sample passes the test, you are awarded the certificate and cleared to record the rest of your book on your own.
Full Consultation Program — $654
Equipment (estimated ~$900) is purchased separately and on your own. Total all-in estimated investment: ~$1,554.
An optional Advanced Treatment Consultation is available at $160 for clients who need extra acoustic support.
PERSONALIZED TO YOUR SPACE
Every home is different. Your engineer reviews your actual room and gives guidance tailored specifically to your environment — not a generic checklist.
ONLY PAY FOR WHAT YOU USE
The program is billed in stages. If life gets in the way, you're never on the hook for sessions you haven't taken. No pressure, no penalties.
HEAR THE DIFFERENCE
You'll receive a professionally edited and mastered sample of your own voice — so you can hear exactly what your finished audiobook will sound like.
