Why I Might Be Right For Your Book
I've lived inside 80+ stories as a narrator.
That means I know—instinctively, immediately—when:
- • A character rings false or lacks depth
- • Pacing drags or rushes
- • Tension builds perfectly or falls flat
- • Dialogue sounds natural or wooden
- • A plot twist lands or feels forced
I don't just read your words. I inhabit them. And that gives me insight most narrators (and most publishers) simply don't have.
Plus:
- D.M.A. in Voice, 30+ years performance training - Professional discipline and craft
- Horror/thriller specialist - These are the genres I know in my bones
- Fast, reliable, professional - Military background means deadlines matter
- Studio-quality production - Broadcast-ready sound, every time
If your book is dark fiction, I've probably narrated something like it. And I can bring it to life.
