Performance Notes
The beginning of the classic tale from Charles Dickens.
Voice actor with a wide range of accents and vocal ages, I have recorded a number of audiobooks on ACX over several years and I'm comfortable with their system.
Experienced with short story and audiobook narration as well as theater and improv comedy. Known for my wide variety of character voices as well as a warm, friendly, natural voice. Brian can work with a wide range of genres from YA to Science Fiction/Fantasy to Thrillers.
Loves working collaboratively with the Rights Holder to produce the best audiobook possible. Good at taking direction, but also creating vibrant characters from just the description on the page.
You can follow Brian and his projects (or hear more demos) on my website: www.TheVoicesInMyHead.com
Please feel free to contact Brian with any specific questions you might have (either through ACX or my site).
I look forward to working with you to make a great audiobook!

From Hearts on Fire Reviews:
Brian Rollins is a new name to me when it comes to narrators. I don't know whether Glen and Tyler's Honeymoon Adventure is the first novel he's recorded, but he did a great job with it. Mr. Rollins is talented at changing his pitch and timbre to fit the characters, and he definitely has the voice...
From Sixth Dimension Audiobook Reviews:
Brian Rollins did an excellent job portraying Gordie. He spoke in a quick and clear style that made me believe the story. He's a great voice actor in the teen YA genre and I look forward to hearing more from him in the future.
From Audible reviews:
Brian Rollins is as good a narrator as I have heard. His facility with accents is flawless and always consistent as the characters recur in the story. His pacing and timing are also great.
All the Scottish characters were great. I am of Scottish ancestry and have spent time there and could close my eyes and believe I was in the Highlands.
…Brian Rollins' part was wonderful, he was very clear and very entertaining to listen to. He brought these characters to life...
But really, the narrator Brian Rollins is incredible.
Fantastic, he brings each character to life.
I liked Brian's accents and the way he differentiated all of the character's voices.
Brian Rollins does an astonishing job as the narrator. Many readers are good, but Mr. Rollins succeeds in adding dimensions to a simple, fun story that elevated the whole experience, bringing every emotion and attitude very much to life. It was his performance, as much as the feel-good tale, that kept me grinning throughout this experience. I will be looking both for more Glen and Tyler tales and checking out what other works Brian Rollins may have performed.
Loved it. Great narrator.
From a fan:
Beng an avid Audiobook listener, I have been around the block--no comment--in that way. You are pretty different than others...so natural and normal. You sound like a regular guy, but your voices are amazing.
