The Development Process

The audio tour development process starts with Research and Planning. We can use customer supplied research and script or we can perform the research and develop a draft script for approval. Professional writing and editing is available to ensure the script provides an immersive experience for the visitor. The script is important but so is the narrated voice. Professional narration makes the tour come alive. Literally thousands of online pro-voices are available for your project. Professional actors, radio and TV voice artists freelance their services and give your audio tour that "wow" factor. A 10-minute voiceover can be obtained for as little as $150.00.

Professional Narration

The narration audition process is simple. We prepare 1-2 paragraphs of script typical of the tour. With your input, we select gender, age of the voice (teen, middle age, senior), dialect (could be French Canadian, UK English, etc.) then send out the digital script for audition. Dozens of narrators will promptly email digital narrations which can be short-listed by us and previewed by you for the ultimate decision. It's that simple.
Once the final script is approved the narration is completed in the narrator's studio then received by us for import into the project. Mixing, adding sound effects and royalty-paid, legal music is where the magic begins, bringing your tour to life.

File Export and Import to Audio Device

You have complete control of your project. Several edit and approval points are identified early in the project. 45° Latitude encodes the final audio for the web, digital audio device or other suitable format. The project is not complete until you are completely satisfied. For more information and pricing please do not hesitate to contact us. We would be pleased to discuss your audio tour vision.

New Audio Tour Created for Kingston's Oldest Museum!

45 Degrees Latitude was hired to develop an audio walking tour for the Museum – the first of its kind for a Kingston Museum. Working with a detailed script provided by Murney Tower staff, two professional narrators were employed to create high quality audio files in their studio. The audio files were then mixed with royalty-paid music and sound effects at 45 Degrees Latitude to create the finished product.

In November 2023, a French version was added using two new professional narrators.
The English and French audio files are available free of charge on Murney Tower’s website: https://www.murneytower.com/audio-tour in four sections: The Beginning, The Barracks, The Gun Platform and The Basement. Each file can be played on any mobile device or downloaded and played later.
