Where else have we heard your voice?

I’m also the host of the Sleep Wave Podcast by where I’ll guide you through sleep meditations, hypnosis and sleepy stories.

What do you always have in the booth?

Water, coffee, some stones because I like to have something in my hands when I’m recording, photos of my family.

How did you come to performing audiobooks?

I was trained as a classical theatre actor, but was in LA doing film and TV work when a friend turned to me in an acting class and said, “I think you’d be really great at narrating audiobooks.” This was 2013, and at the time I hadn’t yet listened to a single audiobook. But something in me sparked at that, and before I knew it, I was taking steps toward it.

Anything else you’d like a listener to know?

This I believe — we are always led to what we’re supposed to do. The steps reveal themselves, if you just begin to take them.
