How did you come to performing audiobooks?

I was an actor in LA when I entered the Scott Brick “Share the Experience” contest for new talent. I submitted a sample with a Southern accent, placed as a finalist, and booked my first title with PRH at their LA studios. I left LA in 2020 to establish my own studio in North Carolina but all I really miss are my cool narrator friends and Phil’s coffee.

Anything else you’d like a listener to know?

“When I read a good book, I wish my whole life were made of the books I have read.” — Samuel Johnson – “Except for the ones with zombies, obviously.” — Shannon McManus
