The narrator made me laugh and gasp. I felt the same mother/daughter/sister/boyfriend emotions. Love the different text of dialogue she gave each character. Can’t wait till the next narration!

Laura English is an enormously talented audio book narrator. After listening to a few sample clips of one novel, I immediately sent her a second and encouraged her to consider taking it on. Her ability to grasp the plight of each character and to develop a unique voice and personality has set a high bar ... I 'm hoping she'll take on many more of my books.

I loved every minute of working with Laura. She was professional right from the beginning, and as this was my first audio-book, I felt at ease with the entire process. I look forward to completing the series with her and many more to come!

About Laura

Romance / YA / Cozy Mystery / Non-Fiction / Memoir

Graduate of Sean Pratt’s Non-Fiction course

Graduate of all three Joel Froomkin’s Acting for Audio courses

Recipient of Certificate in Audio Description Services from the American Council of the Blind

Accessibility has always been a fundamental principle in my professional life. I became an audio book narrator and engineer after a career with two nonprofit organizations serving the visually impaired community: Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation and the Connecticut Radio Information System (CRIS). At CRIS, I became skilled with presenting live, with reading stories on the microphone, and with engineering audio files. I also had the privilege of creating an audio book club for students in kindergarten through grade 12 who struggle to read as well as a braille audio book club for the Connecticut Bureau of Education and Services for the Blind.

Currently, I serve as a volunteer guide and board member with the Connecticut chapter of Achilles International. And, along with my narration work, I am an audio book engineer for Pink Flamingo Productions and a consultant at CRIS Radio. In a nutshell I am a dedicated advocate for visually impaired communities, children’s literacy, and fitness for all bodies.

I’m also a wife, the mother of two incredible human beans, and an animal lover. In my “free time,” I teach spin classes and enjoy cycling (outdoors), hiking, and kayaking. Dancing (albeit horribly) and singing off-key are daily musts! Plus, while mindfulness meditation keeps me sane, chocolate makes me smile.

Inspire, empower, and contribute.
