Jaclyn Kelso is a native of... nowhere! A proud military brat, her parent’s service meant life on the road – she only recently returned stateside from living abroad!

A part-time radio station gig while studying Drama at Lincoln Center Plaza beget a passion for audio production, and upon graduation she pursued a full-time career in broadcast engineering. Jaclyn is an award-winning audiobook producer for her work in duet narration, editing, and sound design. She produces independently for self-published authors & audio content creators while narrating on the rosters of PRH, Macmillan, Hachette, & Podium Entertainment to name a few.

In 2023 she was selected to participate in the Penguin Random House Audio Narrator Mentorship under the tutelage of their world-renowned production team led by Kelly Gildea, Amber Beard, and Dan Zitt.

When she's not in the booth or editing at the sound board, you can find her at whatever live music venue is nearby; she maintains working relationships with musicians of multiple genres, often incorporating tunes into her audiobook productions with artist permission, for an enhanced storytelling experience.

NO USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

NONE. NADA.

Not for proofing, not for editing, not to “simplify” the process.

We do not implement the use of A.i. in ANY aspect of our production. Human voices only. Human ears, human eyes, human efforts.

What Sets Us Apart?

Production is done entirely

IN-HOUSE.

From casting to prep, recording, proofing, to pickups; a final polished edit with attention to detail, and a flawless technical record with Audible Quality Assurance: No part of your production is sub-contracted out. Our main goal is to bring stories to life at no additional cost to the author.

Casting is a

collaborative creative effort.

Already have the perfect voices in mind to breathe life into your characters? Wonderful! What we do is in celebration of the human element in audiobook creation. We work with authors and professional Voice Actors (both SAG-AFTRA and non-Union affiliated) on editing, mastering, and designing audio files for a product that works for you.

SHE WANTS REVENGE.

Entering into a world of drugs, power, and violence, Erin is carving her way through the city for the answers to her friend’s mysterious death: one body at a time. Get on your knees and prey.

RAVENOUS is an erotic horror with psychological thriller elements. It is not a love story; you will find no romance nor a happy ever after. In-between the pages you will find more triggers than there are fish in the sea. PLEASE CHECK THE WARNINGS. THIS AUDIOBOOK IS NOT A BLIND-LISTEN. YOUR MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS.

Book cover for 'Ravenous' by J.M. Elliott, narrated by James Cassidy, Jaclyn Kelso, and Sean Masters, featuring a close-up of a person's lips with dark lipstick, with the title 'Ravenous' written in jagged, icy letters, and splattered ink and paint effects.
