Testimonials

It was my utmost privilege to work with Adam as the narrator for my two male POV characters- a British soldier, and a German spy- in my historical fiction audiobook. Adam is a beyond brilliant voice actor! The way his voice was able to move back and forth between the male characters and their multiple accents (for the spy’s character alone he needed to use both a German accent and an American accent) to navigate the story was truly incredible. I was blown away by his talent! Adam worked so hard behind the scenes preparing for his multiple roles for my audiobook before he even began recording by putting time into studying the characters, their arcs, their strengths, and their personalities to make sure he was as prepared as possible to truly become the characters he was voicing. He even hired a dialect coach to make sure his accent was as accurate as possible. I truly felt like we created something together because of how attentive Adam was to me, my goal for the audiobook, and the story we were trying to tell. Listeners’ response to the audiobook has been nothing but positive, and I can’t wait to work with Adam again on a future project!

Testimonials

I absolutely loved working with Adam! I write fantasy romance and am incredibly pleased with the way he brought my fantasy king MMC to life. He captured everything from the epic battle scenes to the banter between characters perfectly, and didn’t miss a beat when it came to the romance, which shows how talented he truly is. He also captured the voice and tone of my other characters just as well with top-notch performance. Along with that, I appreciate the time he took to prepare to narrate my story before beginning; the way he understands and connects with my characters is a gift. I am beyond impressed with his skill and look forward to working with him again soon!
