Transitioning from primarily corporate/commercial vo to audiobooks- what do I need to know?

Hey y'all! I've been voice acting since 2019 and have recorded thousands of projects, but never an audiobook. I recorded a book trailer a few months ago for a book publisher and they were super happy with it. The publisher reached out to me yesterday and said he knows I don't typically record audiobooks but the author was so impressed with my work that they asked if I'd consider recording the audiobook for them. Super flattering and I'm very thankful.

I've been considering recording audiobooks recently because I read often and always appreciate new work, but this is unchartered waters for me. What do I need to know to confidently switch from primarily corporate and commercial vo to my first audiobook?

Project details:

It's an autobiography approximately 40,000-50,000 words. 6-7 finished hours.

I can edit it myself or they have an internal team who can do all the editing after I send the raw audio.

Very flexible delivery timeline.

They are open to a flat fee or per finished hour.

Any suggestions or tips are super appreciated 🙏
