Here’s a few sample narrations I’ve worked on. I’m a character voice actor with a passion for storytelling. I have two audiobooks published through audible. I love to narrate fun, goofy, dark, children's, horror, romance, or fantasy books. I was trained in theater and audio production, and I bring that passion and skill to each performance and master. My voice ranges from children to elders, a variety of English and American accents, and I am capable of believably voicing male and female characters.
A dark fantasy adventure told entirely with marionettes and shadow puppetry. In the town of Dreary, where no happy wish ever endured, twelve-year-old Henry Button yearns for escape.
