Before Audiobooks we used to listen to Tape Aids for the Blind - remember those?
If you do, you may reconise the latest addition to our voice library, Peter Southey.
Peter has been an English teacher all his working life. He has loved every aspect of it, and especially teaching prescribed literature. When he read aloud to his classes, whether it was a poem or passages from Macbeth or a novel, his aim was always to make the sense so utterly clear that no explanation was necessary.
Over the past twenty years, Peter narrated about thirty titles for Tape Aids for the Blind, both non-fiction and fiction. The fiction has been set in England, or the United States, or elsewhere, and he has a good ear for a variety of English accents, but he'd be most interested to narrate South African fiction.
With a background in phonetics, Peter pronounces African language names and words correctly, is fluent in Afrikaans, and familiar with the different accents of South Africans speaking English as their first or second language.
Peter is sure to give each of your characters the accent and personality that you have in mind.
