Icons representing a Grammy Award, a traffic cone, a heart with a heartbeat line, a bar chart, a ruler, and a badge.

For more than 30 years, John Marshall Media has partnered with major publishers, content creators, and production teams worldwide to produce award-winning audiobooks and spoken-word audio.

From casting and recording through editing, post-production, and distribution, we manage projects end to end—or step in at any critical stage—with the same rigor, clarity, and craft.

With purpose-built studios in New York and Atlanta and a global network of professional narrators and engineers, we deliver consistent, publisher-grade sound wherever production happens.

  • A black and white close-up portrait of a person with a shaved head and a small earring in the left ear, looking directly at the camera.

    Robin Lai
