Graphic Audio– These are one of the leading creators of immersive audiobooks with a huge library of productions.

You can often find them on the main platforms, and you don’t necessarily have to look for them in a separate place. Here are some places I suggest you look at: You can find immersive audiobooks from a range of distributors. It’s worth noting that immersive audiobooks are slightly different from “full cast audiobooks”, which simply have a range of voice actors, but not necessarily the additional sound effects or music. For example, the wind blowing through trees, or the background chatter of a busy restaurant or street.

Ambiance Tracks – These are essentially background sounds that match the natural atmosphere of the book’s current setting.

Multiple Voice Actors – Rather than a single narrator reading the whole book, a whole cast of voice actors might be used to play the various character roles.

Music – Compositions that match or enhance the current emotions of the story.

Sound Effects – Any sounds that match the events of the story.

The types of sound elements used in immersive audiobooks typically include: These are either diegetic (originating from the story world, i.e footsteps, fighting, characters speaking voices) or non-diegetic (sounds that don’t occur in the story world i.e music, voiceover style narration). Immersive audiobooks are enhanced with additional sound elements. Before getting into my recommendations, I first thought it would be a good idea to share what makes immersive audiobooks different from regular ones.
