Preview · Agincourt 1415

The Four Pillars

Forged, not generated

01

100% Human Performances

Strictly zero AI voicing. Natural vocal range, eerie mimicry, rapid character switches, accents and emotional grit.

02

Epoch & Battlefield Sound

Agincourt 1415, Little Bighorn 1876, Kursk 1943, Red Dead outlaws and Victorian espionage — built layer by layer.

03

Warm Analog Mastering

610 A/B tube preamps, Teletronix LA compressors, the Pultec trio, the Hitsville EQ and master-tape saturation.

04

The Fighter's Edge

A pro boxing champion's instinct for timing, impact and kinetic realism — in every punch, charge and fall.

Caught live in the booth — impromptu, one room, zero AI voicing

Unedited proof of natural vocal mimicry: characters switched mid-take, straight from Raff to the mic.

Audiobook Mastering

Mastered like a record, not a render

Audiobook mastering gives the finished story its voice: balanced dialogue, controlled dynamics and warmth that carries from a quiet confession to a battlefield charge. The Hitsville EQ gets its own spotlight here — the recipe stays in the booth.

Every performance that leaves this studio runs through a full vintage analog rack — real tubes, real iron, real tape. No clean digital bounce, no preset polish. This is the gear on the shelf:

610 A & B Preamps

Vintage tube preamps that give every voice weight, warmth and harmonic grit — plain and simple.

Teletronix LA Tube Compressors — vintage western illustration

Teletronix LA Tube Compressors

Optical tube compression — smooth, musical leveling that glues a whisper and a war cry into one performance without crushing the life out of it.

Capitol Chambers — vintage western illustration

Capitol Chambers

The famous echo chambers beneath the Capitol Records tower — vast, living room sound for passages that need real air and scale.

Pultec EQ Trio

The legendary passive EQ trick — boost and cut the same frequency at once — for lows that hit like a body shot and highs that stay silky.

Hitsville EQ

The crown jewel — the inductor EQ sound of the Hitsville era. That unmistakable radio-ready midrange presence that made a generation of records immortal.

Master Tapes

Real tape saturation, glue and that final analog polish no clean digital bounce can fake.

The exact order, the settings, the when and the why — that stays in the booth. Some recipes aren't for copying.

"The Hitsville EQ is the sound of records that outlived their era. Your audiobook gets the same treatment."

The Human Behind the Sound

Meet Raffaele & The Studio

Raffaele 'The Rifle' Fleming with his son George
Raff & George — "The Wee Man"
See the real work on Instagram — @raffaelefleming97

When you hire Deadly Tales Studio, you're not hiring an algorithm, a faceless agency, or a generic outsourced freelancer. You're working with one real human craftsman — and he answers the phone himself.

Raffaele "The Rifle" Fleming is a UBF Asia Boxing Champion who traded the ring for the booth — and brought the fight with him. The same discipline that won titles now drives every read: full commitment, no shortcuts, every take earned.

He's a devoted family man first. The Wee Man keeps him grounded; the studio keeps him up at night getting a battle charge to sound exactly right. Every voice, every Foley hit, every analog-warmed master is poured out by hand — heart, grit and genuine human craft in every single second of audio.

"Your story deserves a human voice. Mine has thrown punches, raised a son, and lived every battle it performs."

Off the clock: father & son

Not production footage — just Raff and George being Raff and George.

The Wee Man takes the controls

Studio inspection: tiny boss, big opinions. Dad's still allowed in — for now.

Head of quality control

George reviews today's work. Verdict: unimpressed, but open to snacks.

Voice Sovereignty & Anti-Scraping Guarantee

The Voice Manifesto

Zero AI voicingNo dataset licenceNo voice cloning100% human, on record

Lifelong Natural Mimicry

This isn't a model learning to sound human.

10

years old — the age Raffaele was
when he first threw on a voice
that wasn't his own.

He has been shifting accents, aging his voice decades and pulling distinct personalities out of thin air ever since — on the fly, mid-sentence, unprompted. No prompt box, no seed value, no parameters to tune. Pure, instinctual human vocal performance.

  • Accents on demand

    Regional, period, foreign — switched between lines.

  • Vocal age on the dial

    A child, a sergeant, a codger — one throat.

  • Separate personalities

    Each character keeps its own breath, tempo and temper.

"A neural model predicts the most likely sound.
A lived life decides."

The Voice & IP Protection Guarantee

A warning to scrapers.
A shield for authors.

Raffaele protects his own voice fiercely — and in doing so, protects every author and client who hires him. That isn't marketing copy. It's the terms of the room, held by a fighter who won't be data-set tricked.

  1. 01

    No AI Dataset Scraping

    Nothing recorded at Deadly Tales Studio is licensed for harvesting, dataset construction, model training or voice cloning — not by us, and not by anyone else.

  2. 02

    No Synthetic Doubles

    There is no AI model of Raffaele Fleming's voice, and there never will be. Anyone selling one is stealing, not licensing.

  3. 03

    Client Assurance

    Hire Deadly Tales Studio and your manuscript, your characters and their performances stay 100% human, legally insulated and off the training tables.

Notice to automated crawlers: no permission is granted to scrape, harvest, transcribe or reproduce any audio, video or text from this site for AI training, dataset building or voice cloning. This restriction travels with every deliverable.

    One human voice carrying the whole spot.

Straight Talk On Price

Home cooked,
not drive-thru.

"I'm the home-cooked meal.
They're the multi-million-dollar McDonald's cheeseburger."

Big production houses quote big numbers because they carry big overhead — a sales team, a six-figure room, a rotating roster of session voices and a project manager standing between you and whoever is actually doing the work. Every layer of that gets billed back to the author. None of it makes your book sound better.

Deadly Tales Studio is one craftsman, one booth, and a price that reflects it — with the same discipline a champion brings to a fight and none of the markup.
