What Brick Shop Audio Inc. does

Brick Shop Audio Inc. is a Brooklyn-based professional recording studio specializing in audiobook and podcast production, with 14+ years of operating history. The company serves three primary customer segments: publishers seeking post-production partners for audiobook titles, independent authors requiring full production support from casting through distribution, and New York-based voice talent, narrators, directors, and editors who use the studio as a professional home. Its headcount is approximately 17 employees and it is independently owned with no disclosed external funding.

The studio's production stack is built around professional audio hardware rather than software platforms: Neumann microphones, Focusrite preamps, Whisper Room sound booths, and experienced in-house directors drive on-site recording quality. Remote recording is delivered via the SourceConnect platform, with the company provisioning equipment as needed for distributed talent. The studio holds SAG/AFTRA approval as a COVID-safe facility, enabling it to engage union-contracted narrators. Beyond core audiobook and podcast production, the offering includes V/O reel production and research-driven pronunciation assistance, all delivered as professional services rather than packaged products.

Brick Shop Audio generates revenue through project-based professional services fees from audiobook production, podcast production, and V/O reel work; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct and primarily inbound via the company website inquiry form and a single contact email, supplemented by word-of-mouth within the New York audiobook and publishing community. The physical studio in the BRIQ building on 32nd Street in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, anchors a regional, on-site service delivery model, while SourceConnect-based remote recording extends the studio's effective reach globally.

• Skyboat Media: Skyboat Media is a long-established audiobook production studio offering full-service audiobook production including casting, recording, editing, and mastering. Highly comparable to Brick Shop Audio as both are independent audiobook-focused production studios serving publishers and authors with a similar end-to-end service model.
• Lower Street: Lower Street is an award-winning podcast production agency providing full-service production and content strategy support to brands and publishers. Comparable to Brick Shop's podcast production offerings with a similar end-to-end service model, remote-friendly engagement, and focus on producing high-quality audio content for commercial clients.

Others

• Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX): ACX is Audible's marketplace platform connecting authors and publishers with narrators and producers for audiobook production. Comparable to Brick Shop as a destination channel for audiobook production work, though ACX operates as a marketplace platform facilitating producer matches rather than as a direct production studio competing for the same end-client engagements.

Emerging players

• ElevenLabs: ElevenLabs is a leading AI voice synthesis platform developing high-quality text-to-speech and voice cloning capabilities, including audiobook production pilots and a self-service audiobook production offering. Increasingly relevant as an emerging alternative to traditional audiobook studios like Brick Shop, particularly for non-fiction and backlist titles where publishers are piloting AI narration to reduce per-title costs.

Broad incumbents

• Penguin Random House Audio: Penguin Random House Audio is the audiobook publishing division of Penguin Random House, one of the world's largest trade publishers. Comparable to Brick Shop in audiobook production capability but operates as a publisher-affiliated studio producing its own catalog rather than serving external publishers as a third-party service provider.
• Tantor Audio: Tantor Audio is a long-running audiobook publisher with in-house production capabilities, releasing titles across multiple genres. Comparable to Brick Shop's audiobook production work but combines publishing and production rather than serving purely as an external service provider for third-party publishers and authors.
• Audible Studios: Audible Studios is the in-house audiobook production arm of Amazon/Audible, producing original audio content and exclusive Audible productions at massive scale. Comparable to Brick Shop in service category (audiobook production) but operates at platform scale with captive distribution through Audible.com and significantly greater resources.
• Brilliance Audio: Brilliance Audio is an audiobook publisher and production company, now part of Amazon following the Audible acquisition of the Brilliance catalog. Comparable to Brick Shop's audiobook production operations, though Brilliance primarily produces and publishes its own catalog rather than serving external publishers and authors as a third-party production studio.
• Recorded Books (RBmedia): Recorded Books, now operating under RBmedia, is one of the largest independent audiobook publishers with significant production capabilities. Comparable to Brick Shop in audiobook production operations but at much greater scale, operating a publisher-producer hybrid model with an extensive audiobook catalog and institutional distribution relationships.
