Audio Production

Podcast and audiobook production with In Real Life Films means more than microphones and mixing. It’s about making your voice heard. You bring the words, we handle the rest. From recording (with video too, if you'd like!), to editing, mastering, and publishing across major platforms, we make the process effortless, polished, and true to you.

There are over 4.19 million podcasts registered worldwide and if you can get 32 downloads in your first month, that will place you in the top 50% of podcasters (Shepherd, J. (2024, April 23).

We handle the details so you can focus on the message by scheduling sessions, setting up the recording space, and ensuring the right sound environment for a clean, consistent recording.

You speak; we take care of the rest. Our team manages microphones, levels, lighting (for video podcasts), and real-time monitoring so your sessions flow naturally and sound great.

We edit and polish each recording for clarity and quality. This includes noise reduction, leveling, pacing, and mastering—ensuring every episode or chapter sounds professional and consistent.

Do I need experience to start a podcast or audiobook?

Not at all! We’re here to guide you through the process. From recording and setup to editing and publishing, so you can focus on your voice and message.

Can you record both audio and video version of my podcast?

Yes. We can capture clean audio and crisp video simultaneously, perfect for sharing on YouTube and social media.

Where do you publish the finished podcast episodes?

We publish our podcasts through a service called Podbean, which distributes your podcast out to all the major podcast platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, etc. It is part of your podcast package, when you hire us to produce your podcast.

How long does editing take?

It depends on episode or chapter length, but most projects are delivered within a week or two after recording. For our podcasts, we often like to work four episodes in advance, so we've always got your episodes ready to go on your publishing day of choice.

Can you help with music or intro/outro branding?

Yes, we know people who can create musical intros and outros. Then, we mix those branded intros/outros to give your podcast or audiobook a polished, professional sound.
