Performance Notes
A recovered addict provides stark, harrowing detail of his escape from the disease and lifestyle, and those along the way who never relented in working to save him.
Audiobook narration is my profession, though I do plenty of other voice work. I've narrated and produced over 45 titles on ACX - all of the samples in my profile are from audiobooks I've had published. Please check them out!
I am part of the Graphic Audio roster of voice actors. www.graphicaudio.net
My current recording setup consists of a Rode NT1 cardioid condenser microphone, a Focusrite Scarlett audio interface, a MacBook, and a sound-treated recording space.
I can do many foreign accents reasonably well (British RP, Russian, Middle Eastern, Japanese, Spanish in particular) many regional US accents (Neutral, Southern, Trans-Atlantic, Brooklyn, even a little North Atlantic/Maine) and shine portraying teenage to young adult males, snooty/eccentric British men, strange, dwarf/gnome/goblin/fey types, and gender neutral/ambiguous characters. In general, my voice is best described as 'youthful/young adult'; but I'd also say off-the-wall, subdued, tragic, enthusiastic, treacherous, conniving, articulate, smooth, adaptive (and so on, and so on) qualify, as well. I excel at bringing a sense of realism and relatability to complex characters.
I see myself coming into my own narrating fiction; specifically, fantasy/science fiction and romance novels. Business/religious nonfiction, memoirs, and poetry are also in my wheelhouse.
But none of this is as good an introduction as the samples you can find on www.ryanhaugen.com.
