What people say
Professional, prepared and versatile
Joan has a wonderfully versatile voice which she uses masterfully in characterising the audio books she records with me. She has read many books for Oakhill Publishing and when I cast Joan I know that she will thoroughly prepare the books and enthusiastically narrate it, whether it be an adult fiction or a children’s fairytale. her narration brings the audio books alive
I love the quality of her voice. I love the versatility I get from her and she’s a bloody nice person to boot
Shakespeare Appreciated: King Lear, narrated by Joan Walker for SmartPass….poetry and plays are totally transformed when you hear rather than read them. Winning a clutch of awards, SmartPass are now stocked by Waterstones and thousands of students listen to these innovative , instructive and inspiring tutorials…with Joan Walker its charismatic passmaster. Excellent, keep it up please!
I have just finished listening to your narration of A Man Called Ove. The word narration does no justice to the way you brought the whole story magically alive. Tank you for the laughter and the tears….is there an Oscar equivalent? You well deserve it.
This has been a fabulous audiobook to listen to. I will mention the narrator first though. Joan Walker is a narrator I have only recently come across and I have to say she is brilliant. She has a very soothing voice and I am able to just relax as she tells of poisons that the author has compiled into this book
