Your voice brought this book to life. You made me feel like I was part of the book and Franny was my friend. Fantastic job and I cant wait to hear your next book!
Laura English is a real pro whose care and passion inspired trust that she was the right person to bring my book to life. She was meticulous in her process and a joy to work with.
Laura English's performance was well done. She really brought out each of the characters personalities.
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!
Laura English did an awesome job of bringing these characters and their story to life. She gave each character a voice that fit their persona perfectly, sounding believable and just as I pictured the characters to sound.
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.
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’s lovely, clear voice brought my words to life. Her professionalism and dedication to producing quality work made working on this project refreshing.
Laura is a pleasure to work with. She has great delivery and takes direction well, so she delivers exactly what I want - every time.
Laura made the whole process easy for me. She held my hand throughout--explaining the process of auditioning, recording, and setting me up on Audible. Then she narrated and produced an audiobook I love--as do my listeners. I'm looking forward to using her again for Book 2.

About Laura
After being introduced to audiobooks, Laura realized she could combine her passions for acting and literature (she owned a beloved African Grey parrot, named Dean Koontz!), and set a goal to become a narrator fulltime. Her years of work within two organizations that served the blind/low vision community provided her a segue into live and pre-recorded programming opportunities – even a weekly 60-minute live radio news program. Laura created an audiobook club for children who struggle to read which including, a Braille audiobook club for the students of BESB. She also holds a Certification in Audio Description Services from The American Council of the Blind. Laura honed her storytelling skills through acting classes at Hartford Stage, Sean Pratt’s 1 year Non-Fiction course and all three semesters of Joel Froomkin’s Acting for Audio acting courses. She also coaches with Carol Monda and Shannon Parks.
In the world of non-fiction and memoir, Laura has an affinity for fitness, wellness and meditation – a correlation to being in that industry for over 25yrs (she ran the first club in her state to introduce spinning!) as well as volunteer work with Achilles International (an organization that transforms the lives of people with disabilities through athletic programs). In the business world, Laura is experienced with operational management, community outreach, volunteer strategy and event planning.
Laura has a passion for all animals. Especially dogs, from her years working at a guide dog organization where she became an expert at puppy training & socialization, as well as the intricacies of the human canine relationship. Lastly, Laura’s fascination with reincarnation has fostered a deep passion for history (especially WW2).
In the world of fiction, Laura’s voice is a strong fit for YA, Children’s lit, romance, cozy mysteries and fantasy. She can be relied on to deliver an industry-ready product as Laura is also a skilled engineer and has delivered over 95 full-length postproduction titles for prestigious indie studios.
Although she loves to travel, Laura’s favorite place is home. When not in the booth she can be found outdoors; on her bike, in her kayak, or hiking the woods with her 3 doggos. She is also the mother of two incredible human beans.
Mindfulness meditation keeps her sane. Chocolate makes her smile.
