Audiobook Narration
Bio:
A bit of an introvert, working in audiobooks was a natural extension of Amy’s acting background. Her dad (a truck driver and an avid reader) is picky about his narrators, giving her incentive to keep honing her skills and be the kind of storyteller he would enjoy . . . even if he’s not into romance novels.
Amy is a member of the APA (Audiobook Publishers Association), has an in-home studio, and is currently working with the non-fiction/business coach, Sean Pratt. She has narrated around 40 titles in various genres with a few different publishers (Complete book list/resume). Amy’s full name is quite common, so she started narrating under Carolyn A. Lee in 2018. While she hasn’t retired the name yet, she may continue to use Carolyn for YA books in the future.
