I can tell your story.
As a narrator, my benchmark for success is when even the author becomes engrossed in listening to their story.
I believe my fascination for the how people speak gives my reading – especially my dialog narration – a unique flare. I craft each character’s voice based on vocal reference, character notes and conversation with the creator. I am energized by my narration projects, and I’m excited to go into my home studio every day to work on a chapter, or discover a new character’s voice.
My aim – always – is to read a story the way an author hears it in their own head. My ultimate goal as a narrator is to render the work in such an enthralling manner that even its author becomes completely engrossed in listening. I hope you agree!
Audio samples.
This is from a non-fiction book I recorded called "Somebody Hold Me: The Single Person's Guide to Nurturing Human Touch," by Epiphany Jordan. I really loved this project, and I thoroughly believe in Epiphany's work and the nurturing and life-giving power of human touch.
This is a character voice I use often for feisty slightly older women. It's one of my favorites, and Susie is a fantastic example.
This track from a dark fairy-tale book I narrated, and I really had fun with the accents. The character of "Alfrigg" is based on Robbie Coltrane's Hagrid from Harry Potter. The cat, Fenlick, is based loosely on Jeremy Irons's voice. All the voices in the fictional "Aeryland" were based on British Isles accents.
