![]() ![]() You have a voice that is unique and distinct, have you’ve been recognized by your voice as “Zachary Webber the narrator” when you’ve out and about? If so, can you tell us a little about the encounter? ![]() Smart and accessible (Thank you Lauren Blakely for the wording exactly what I was trying to convey!) voice and your performance is spot on!! You were the main reason I picked up “Mercy” by Debra Anastasia, who was a ‘new to me author”! When discussing your performance or recommending your work to listeners or authors looking to cast a narrator, I’ve said you have this funny but vulnerable. Bengtsson, and everything you’ve done for Lauren Blakely. ![]() LOVED your performance in “Getting Schooled” By Emma Chase, “The Theory of Second Best” and “Fiercely Emma” by J. I can usually pick any accent up with ease. Irish is easiest for me and my favorite, and the hardest are typically only when I have to switch back and forth between a bunch of accents in a given scene. Many of us are a sucker for accents! What is your favorite accent to perform? Which accent is the hardest for you to perform? And somebody for the love of god write medieval/renaissance/victorian period pieces so I can do some accents. I’ve dabbled in fantasy and would really, really like to do more. Is there a genre that you have yet to narrate in that you’d like to? What is your favorite sub-genre of Romance to perform?Īnything set in New York City or on a farm. Typically this is the job of the engineer, because they have files saved for character samples, whether it be from my own voice or the other narrator. How do you manage or what is your process of remember what the character from a previous book sounds like when they reappear in a new book (or if not part of a series, but standalone, characters as they pop in and out of the story)? I do exactly what the author says with their text, unless they haven’t specified, in which case I just do whatever the hell I want. How do you select how the characters are going to sound/their tones? Winging it (with basic information like dialects and character affects) proves to be better for me when approaching the text, because I’m surprised by what I’m reading. Audiobooks fulfill that need to be read to, or to read aloud. Historically, humans have a lust for communicative and performative art - after all, there used to be little to no literacy, almost everyone sought actors and storytellers to get their fill. We lose that eventually, for whatever socialized reasons, whether we’re told to be quiet or that it’s uncouth to read aloud in public. I’ve always loved reading, and as a kid I think a lot of people read performatively to themselves. It’s my job for now! Other voiceover work is kinda hard to come by, but we’ll see. I truly do not know.ĭo you narrator full time? Are there other voice over jobs you’ve done (still doing)? Far more than that if you consider pseudonyms and whatever isn’t published on Audible. How many audiobooks have you recorded in total so far? (Audible is stating 87) The whole trailer was essentially voiceover, and then after that Jamie McGuire asked me to narrate Red Hill, and the rest is kinda history. As a lot of people already know, my mom is an author, and my very first intro to the audio world was when she showed my adorable 23-year-old self’s headshot to a bunch of author friends, and Colleen Hoover pretty soon thereafter asked me to make a trailer for her book This Girl. Thank you for having me! Been a long time coming.įor those that may not know you, why don’t we start by having you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you became a narrator? Hi Zachary and Welcome to Audiobook Lovin’. So happy and excited to have one of my favorite narrators, Zachary Webber as our guest! ![]()
