audiobook narrator
Story reading professional
An audiobook narrator is a voice actor who reads books aloud for recorded publication.
The role requires stamina, vocal range, and interpretive skill—narrators may voice dozens of characters across a single novel.
Some narrators become closely associated with particular authors or series: I only listen to the version he narrates.
Distinguished from text-to-speech synthesis, which increasingly competes for the work.
