Can't speak for Greg, but here's what ACX has to say...
Quote:
How long does it usually take someone to produce 1 finished hour of an audiobook?
We have found that it generally takes a total of around 6.2 hours for a Producer to complete one hour of an audiobook.
Here’s how you get there:
It takes about two hours to narrate what will become one finished hour.
After the narration is recorded, it then takes an editor (who might be the same person as the narrator) about three hours to edit each finished hour of recording.
And then it’s a wise move—we might even say STRONGLY recommended—to run a quality control (QC) pass over the finished project. This means spending time re-listening and suggesting words, sentences, or sections to re-record. And that takes about 1.2 hours for every finished hour.
