We take each of your stories and we give each character its own voice. We then add special effects and then we add music.
\nThis creates a totally immersive experience for the listener. It brings stories to life. We love stories and we work to make sure they can be heard by everyone and enjoyed to the fullest.<\/p>\n
We release the dramatised stories in a series on an app that we have developed. Think Netflix without the pictures.<\/p>\n
You will never have heard stories like these before, they are built around epic soundscapes and create a feeling of living within the story. we say it created.<\/p>\n
Vision without sight<\/p>\n
The reason we founded the company is that one of our founders lost her sight in a freak accident when a rock came through the windscreen of her car and severed her optical nerves. I had written a book and had it published and we realised that she could no longer read the book so we set about producing an audiobook.<\/p>\n
On this journey one of the things, we found was that utilising a single voice artist can often leave the story telling bland and unfeeling. When you are blind it is difficult, when you are listening to a single voice, to create an image of the people in your head because you have to accept the single voice of the narrator. We wanted to create stories that she could engage with and so Behear was born.<\/p>\n
I had been active in the drama community for many years so set about creating a story with multiple voices. We built a fully professional recording studio and started the journey.<\/p>\n
Our aim is to make sure everyone has access to amazing stories and can enjoy them to the fullest possible.<\/p>\n
We now have a full roster of Voice artists some 300 all in all and we have had many famous faces through the door to help record these incredible stories. From singers who have had number one singles to actors from the likes of The Game of Thrones. <\/p>\n
We have been mentioned on TV and radio in and around our native Yorkshire.
\nOur offerings for authors are varied and we are more than happy to provide our services at different levels.<\/p>\n
We will consult, imagine and input our production knowledge into the creation of something magical.<\/p>\n
Stories are loved and have life breathed into them as if they were our own.
\nAt Behear we don\u2019t just do audiobooks we do Dramatised Audio Series. Our audiobooks create something immersive and magical.
\nStories are taken and each character given their own voice. Sound effects and music are added, and your story is released in episodes. We say think of Netflix without the pictures.<\/p>\n
We understand the importance of being in control of your hard work and maximising the revenue from your books.
\nEven if you have an Audiobook already, we can breathe new life into it, or get it on our platform for our listeners to enjoy.
