The Team
Producers
Grammy and Audie and Hugo winning producers Stefan Rudnicki and Gabrielle de Cuir have a pooled source of experience to handle any project, from single narrations, author narrations to multi-voice large cast productions. We pioneered the multi-voice third-person point-of-view production with Ender’s Game. We do it all.
Production and Acquisitions
Alison Belle Bews not only directs, but heads up Production Admin and assists in audiobook research, content and anthologies. Alison Belle has also narrated with us, has co-produced Adamant productions for several years now, and is our specialist is unearthing literary gems for production.
Casting
We take great pride and time and care in working with clients to achieve the perfect “match” in casting. Years of experience in theatre and film has honed our casting skills to a T. We work with over 200 established narrators. We have a roster in the hundreds. We are proud that they consider us part of their family. Many of these relationships go back decades.
Directors
Each member of our experienced team of directors is sensitive to both author intent and the needs of the narrators. These superstars include Alison Belle Bews, Paul Boehmer, Tom Newth and Susan Hanfield. Our directors take great care and pride in being a steadfast support to the talent while zealously protecting author intent. Many of our directors have strong literary and performing backgrounds which is a great gift in the studio sessions.
Production
We have three elegant and comfortable recording studios located in the San Fernando Valley in California, 20 minutes from Los Angeles. Each studio is a private, comfortable and creatively “safe” space for the narrator to ply his or her trade. We provide all the creature comforts needed. The majority of our post-production is handled by the amazing group of editors and proofers at PhaseShiftAv in the UK.
Executive Village
It takes a village. Our village includes: Judy Young who leads up SKYBOAT’s staff as Senior Operations Consultant. Our events are catered by Donna, voted Number 1 caterer in Los Angeles again this year. Alex Linares lends his creative photographic genius to our events and he is our go-to man on all shoots. And the author of Online Reputation Management For Dummies, Lori Randall Stradtman, helps us mind our p’s and q’s in the Social Media World. Susan Scott, author of best-seller Fierce Leadership, keeps us, well, fierce.
