Description
About Deborah

I'm a British audiobook narrator with a warm, rich alto voice and I love storytelling. Originally from Yorkshire, I now reside in rural Cambridgeshire after a stint living in Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands. I performed in local theatre productions at a young age, and I transitioned to audiobook narration in 2017. I've narrated over 165audiobooks in several genres, from fantasy to steamy romantasy and gritty crime to historical fiction, I'm open to a wide range of spice levels. My portfolio includes collaborations with major publishing houses like Tantor, Harper, Dreamscape, Bloomsbury, and OrangeSky productions, ... more as well as many successful partnerships with indie authors. I'm adept at voicing a variety of regional British and international accents and I have as native both RP and Yorkshire. When I'm not in my booth I likes hanging out with my friends and family, planning vacations, and achieving Jedi Level Mastery of Knitting. I’m on the talent roster of some of the big US and UK publishers and audiobook production companies as well as working directly with authors and independent publishers. My most recent narrations include:   Campaigns and Curses, (The Weary Dragon Inn, Book 8) By S. Usher Evans The Apple, A Delicious History By Sally Coulthard for Bloomsbury Celebrating All Creatures Great and Small By All Creatures Great And Small for Dreamscape Reluctant Wizard (Warriors of Magic, Book 1) By Jeffe Kennedy Beyond the recording booth (which, by the way, is a professional Studiobricks setup complete with top-notch equipment), I enjoy travel, MMORPG gaming, knitting, and spending time with my pug Evie, family, and friends. You can also find me on TikTok and Instagram as @deborahbalmvo. less
