Coming from a family full of actors, some might say that Luke Daniels was destined to be a performer. He's acted in repertory theaters around the country, and his background in classical theater and film has made him a perfect fit for audiobook narration. It has helped him embody such bold works as Jack Kerouac’s The Haunted Life (his found manuscript), Michael Crichton’s The Terminal Man, John Updike’s My Father’s Tears and Other Stories, and many a Nora Roberts novel.
But as any Iron Druid fan can attest, Daniels has really developed a specialty with science fiction and fantasy titles. His performances of Kevin Hearne’s bestselling series helped make him Audible’s 2012 Narrator of the Year. He has an exceptional knack for accents. "As a kid, I was always doing voices and coming up with characters. Some that I still use in books today," he’s said.
While he and Kevin Hearne have discussed their collaboration process on social media, Daniels has also said that he likes to wing it to some degree when it comes to preparing for a recording, wanting it to be a "free-floating experience," and he has controversially advocated cold reads. Speaking of cold, he maintains his home in Michigan, where he protects his voice and combats the long winters with hot water mixed with lemon and honey.
