Read for every family.
Get paid for it.

A recording-artist account is a public studio. Release finished readings for any family to shelve — free or for a price — and take commissions for personalized ones. Families follow you. We take 20%. You keep the rest.

  1. Open a studio

    A free account with a public page at /artists/your-name. Ten books to start; unlimited once five families follow you.

  2. Record and release

    Finish a reading and release it platform-wide. Free, or with a price. A family shelves it and it plays in their reading room like any recording.

  3. Take commissions

    A family asks you for a book read for their child — with the name, the aside, the voice. They pay up front; it's held until you deliver; you're paid when they accept.

  4. Get paid

    Payouts through Stripe. 20% platform fee on everything, nothing hidden, nothing gated on a plan.

Built to be fair to both sides

Escrow on commissions

The family's payment is held until you deliver. Seven quiet days after delivery, or an acceptance, and it's yours.

Automatic refunds

A commission that isn't delivered in fourteen days is refunded to the family without anybody asking.

One review per delivery

Families rate delivered commissions, once. Your page shows the record.

Followers unlock the shelf

Five distinct families following you and your shelf goes unlimited.

Listens tell you

You hear when a child listens — anonymous, unless it's your own family.

Disputes have a person

A disputed commission freezes the payout while a person looks. No algorithm decides.

Open your studio

Free to open. Ten books to start. The first five followers make it unlimited.

Questions about recording artists

Nothing. The account is free. Voicebooks takes 20% of sales and commissions; the rest is paid out to you through Stripe.
Yes. A free release works end to end even before payouts are set up. Selling waits on Stripe Connect, never on a plan.
A family asks you to record a specific book for a specific child — name, asides, the lot. They pay up front, we hold it, you deliver, they accept, you're paid.
