How did you come to performing audiobooks?

I was a theatre actor looking for a side hustle, and I found a full time job that was so much more fulfilling and flexible than I had imagined it could be.

Anything else you’d like a listener to know?

I believe there is no neutral accent, as there is no neutral voice; a person's voice is deeply intimate: it's a (sometimes involuntary) autobiography. Where someone's from, where they've traveled, their age, health, education, who they love: all of it lives in how they sound, often before a word of exposition has been said. My job is to find that whole person and let them speak and I both respect and relish the challenge!
