Description
About Keith

Best known for his ability to voice a range of characters, from an insecure bulldozer to a Scottish warlock to a self-aware AI system on an interplanetary cruiser, Keith McCarthy has brought over 55 audiobooks to life in genres ranging from YA and Middle-Grade to Sci-Fi and History. Drawing on 25+ years of experience as a theater actor and as director of dozens of student productions, Keith started narrating by recording assistive learning audiobooks for his middle school ELA students, where he quickly discovered that his primary gift as a narrator is connecting with young listeners. Keith specializes in Fantasy, ... more Non-fiction YA, and Middle-Grade Fiction with wide-ranging character voices (accents include RP British, Irish, Russian, South African, Scottish, Southern US, Boston, and New York.) Keith has worked with publishers and production companies such as Deyan Audio, Penguin Random House, Dreamscape, and Two Words Publishing, as well as educational publishers such as Epic Books, Rosen Classroom, Bellwether Publishing, and Vox Books. Keith has also narrated 8 Romances under the pseudonym, Lance Adams. When not narrating, acting, teaching, or directing, Keith loves to pick up new skills on Youtube. (Really, how did anyone figure out how to do anything before Youtube?) There he has recently used it to learn how to play the piano, fix the plumbing and electricity in his house, train his dog, and make a killer apple crisp. Keith lives with his wife and their three dogs, four hens, 50,000 bees, and a cat in a small town north of Boston. Keith is a proud member of the Professional Audiobook Narrators Association (PANA) and Audio Publishers Association (APA). less
