Lizzy - FableTones Founder
About Me

Hi, I'm Lizzy

The heart behind FableTones

Proudly based in Johannesburg, South Africa, I'm a 22-year-old sound engineer, avid reader, and total book nerd who's obsessed with making stories feel alive.

With 3 years of sound engineering training from my bachelor's degree and nearly 5 years of hands-on experience, I'm ready to help you join the audiobook revolution.

When COVID hit, everything changed. Stuck at home, I discovered the escape of reading. One life? Nah — through books, I get to live hundreds. I realized how badly readers want to climb into their favorite worlds, feel the emotions, hear the whispers, sense the tension.

With today's technology, that's not just wishful thinking anymore — it's possible. And I want to be right in the middle of that revolution. That's why I launched FableTones in August 2025.

My goal? Turn your narrated tracks into something that feels like a movie: emotions hit hard, scenes surround you, and listeners lose themselves completely, like the story is theirs.

When I'm Not Working...

When I'm not at my mixing desk shaping soundscapes, you'll find me curled up in bed — either conspiring about what twist is coming next in the Empyrean series, diving into a new author's book, or sneaking in chapters of my own fantasy romance WIP.

(Yes, I'm that reader who gasps out loud at 2 a.m.)

Indie Authors Deserve the Spotlight

You pour everything into your fiction or non-fiction worlds — you shouldn't have to settle for flat audio just because budgets are tight. I bring high-quality, cinematic polish at approachable rates.

The audiobook world is exploding, and new tech is putting movie-style experiences within reach for everyday creators and listeners. It's not a far-off dream — it's happening now, and I'm all in.
