I LOVE to read! When reading for pleasure, I especially enjoy biographies, history, and self-development genres.

However, many people don't have time to read. That's why you need me!

As an audiobook narrator, I love taking your words from the printed page and crafting them into a pristine recording that allows today's ultra busy people to take a mental vacation. And who doesn't need one?!

I'm a native of Atlanta and excel at Southern accents. I also research and perform other accents as needed in the text.

Professionally, I am open to most genres and have been hired to narrate in the biography, comedic chick lit, mysteries and thrillers, contemporary fiction, and self-development genres.

My ** CUSTOM-BUILT, SOUNDPROOF STUDIO ** is outfitted with industry-standard equipment found in top recording facilities:

Neumann TLM 103 microphone
Golden Age Project PRE-73 pre-amp
iMac
Pro Tools and mBox2

Why read about my stunning soundproof studio when you can see a picture and video demonstration of it at this link:

See that checkmark next to my name? It's the badge of an Audible Approved Producer, and I'm proud that I earned it.
