SonoTale turns your LitRPG, fantasy, or romantasy manuscript into a cinematically scored, full-cast immersive audiobook, every character voiced, every scene scored, every stat-block given its own system voice, for a fraction of human production cost, at roughly $20 per finished hour.
~$20 per finished hour of audio. Credit-based — you only spend credits when you generate.
You're writing long LitRPG, fantasy, or romantasy serials. You know audio is the biggest revenue format in your genre. You've done the math on a human narrator ($4,000 minimum, months of waiting, one flat voice) and walked away. SonoTale is what you couldn't afford before.
You publish dozens of LitRPG, fantasy, or romantasy titles per year. You hold the audio rights. Plain AI narration is a race to the bottom, SonoTale lets you launch an "Immersive Edition" SKU that commands a higher price and creates a new revenue line from your existing catalog.
No casting calls. No studio time. No re-narration fees. Five automated steps that take 48 hours, not four months.
A distinct voice per character, derived from how they act on the page. Locked across your entire series.
Reads each scene and lays a matching underscore, action beds, tension builds, quiet resolutions.
Cinematic SFX land on the beat. System messages get their own synthetic sting. Battle scenes get a dense aware bed.
Living texture under every scene, dungeon dread, market noise, open sky, cold stone hall.
Broadcast-grade mastering. Platform-ready exports. One pass, export to Spotify, Apple, Google, Findaway in one click.
Each World is its own voice palette, score library, and sound bed. A LitRPG dungeon crawl and a romantasy slow-burn never sound like the same template, because they aren't.
System notifications get their own synthetic voice. Skill names land with a chime. Invented terms are caught and pronounced consistently, book after book. When the party wipes, the combat bed already knows.
Two leads, two distinct voices, held a half-breath apart. A string section that leans in at exactly the wrong moment. Ambience soft enough to hear them breathe, consistent across every book in the series.
The question isn't just cost. It's: what do you actually end up with? SonoTale produces the same output level as a professional full-cast immersive studio, automatically.
