Services / Servicios

Commission a serial worth finishing.

Every Urbanovela engagement covers the whole chain: writing, casting, bilingual recording, scoring and mastering. You receive a finished series at one fixed price, with no hourly meter running behind it.

Scope of work / Alcance

Four disciplines, one roof

Series bible & scripting

Weeks 1–4 · Escritura

We open with a recorded interview of your team and the people closest to the place, then set down a series bible: premise, cast, arc and tone. Episode scripts follow, each drafted in English and in Spanish by writers working in their own language rather than translating one another.

  • Written series bible and episode outline
  • Locked scripts in both languages, revised until you sign
  • Fact-check notes for every named person, date and address

Casting & recording

Week 5 · Grabación

Narrators are cast for the register of the series, and local voices are taped in the language they think in. Sessions run at our Nutley studio, or on location anywhere in Essex County at no added charge. Recording begins only after the script is locked, so nothing is taped twice.

  • Professional narrator for each language edition
  • Up to six community voices per series, with release forms
  • Directed sessions, with a producer in the room

Score, edit & mix

Weeks 6–8 · Mezcla

Episodes are cut for pace, scored with licensed or commissioned music, and mixed to broadcast loudness. Street sound recorded at your locations is layered under the narration so the series sounds like the place and not like a booth.

  • Music licensing cleared for podcast and campaign use
  • Sound design with location ambience
  • Chapter markers and loudness-normalized masters

Release materials

Delivery · Entrega

The series is handed over ready to publish: masters, artwork brief, show notes and episode descriptions in both languages. If you would rather not manage hosting, we configure it for you. Scripts and masters transfer to you on final payment.

  • Masters in WAV and MP3 for every episode and edition
  • Show notes and descriptions in English and Spanish
  • Cover-art brief for your designer, or ours

Inside every price / Incluido

What is never billed on top.

Asked before commissioning

Which package suits a first series?

Most boards and developers begin with The Pilot to test a district and a voice. If the subject plainly needs six chapters, we will say so on the first call.

How do payments run?

Half of the package price opens the commission and half falls due on delivery of masters. There is no hourly billing.

Do you write about real people and places?

Yes. Every named person, date and address is checked, and community voices sign releases before their tape is used.

Can the series play in a gallery or on a tour?

Yes. The Anthology includes a walking edition cued to street stops, and any package can be licensed for sales galleries and public hearings.
