    In our final episode of Season 3, we navigate the seas of social-professional connections. What feels real? Friendly? Warm? Cringe? Inappropriate? Uncomfortable? And how do we read these signs from others? Guest host Dominique Salvacion joins us to discuss the delicate art of authentic social connecting in professional networking spaces.Find The Narrator RoundtableWebsite | BlueSky | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Dominique SalvacionWebsite | Facebook Profile | Instagram Find André SantanaWebsite | Facebook Profile | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Deanna AnthonyWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Gail ShalanWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Kirt GravesWebsite | Facebook Narrator Page | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Lindsey DorcusWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram The Narrator Roundtable is produced by André Santana, Deanna Anthony, Gail Shalan, Kirt Graves, and Lindsey Dorcus.

    When we look at the page, how do we turn what we see in text into a fully lived-in, authentic character voice? With guest host Jess Nahikian, we discuss the technical work of turning language on the page into distinct performance choices and how we handle staying emotionally engaged when we’re working that deeply.Find The Narrator RoundtableWebsite | BlueSky | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Jess NahikianWebsite | Instagram Find André SantanaWebsite | Facebook Profile | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Deanna AnthonyWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Gail ShalanWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Kirt GravesWebsite | Facebook Narrator Page | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Lindsey DorcusWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram The Narrator Roundtable is produced by André Santana, Deanna Anthony, Gail Shalan, Kirt Graves, and Lindsey Dorcus.

    How do we make choices about our online selves and still call ourselves authentic? How can we show only specific slivers of ourselves to the world and feel good about it, knowing that it will bring us the work and attention we want?

    Apr 2 2025
    In this episode of the Narrator Roundtable, we discuss parasocial relationships as they pertain to the art form of narration and the entertainment industry in a larger sense, as well as the kaleidoscopic nature of our public personas as narrators… how much does our own authentic presence, fan base, wide-spread, or more insular, recognition play into our work, hire-ability, and craft? And how transparent do we really need to be with our identities in public spaces? We’re joined by seasoned, award-winning narrator, actor, educator, and “OPTok” phenomenon Neil Hellegers to dive into the many angles of this nuanced topic.

    Audiobook narrators are all about preparation; we all know the tale of getting to chapter 45 and finding out that your main character has a Russian accent. But when you establish yourself as a professional narrator, is the conversation more nuanced than that? In this episode, we talk about *gasp* cold reads, but more specifically, how to make sure you are ALWAYS prepared to narrate a book, even if that preparation doesn’t include the narrator themselves doing a preread.Find The Narrator RoundtableWebsite | BlueSky | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Jennifer Jill ArayaWebsite | Facebook Profile | Facebook Page | Instagram Find André SantanaWebsite | Facebook Profile | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Deanna AnthonyWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Gail ShalanWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Kirt GravesWebsite | Facebook Narrator Page | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Lindsey DorcusWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram The Narrator...

    It seems like everyone has an idea about what indie work looks like, what publisher work looks like, and which one is better. In this episode, we talk to Ronnie Butler about how these ideas have shifted and how we can mend a bridge to see these two worlds as increasingly interconnected.Find The Narrator RoundtableWebsite | BlueSky | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Ron ButlerWebsite | Instagram | TikTok Find André SantanaWebsite | Facebook Profile | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Deanna AnthonyWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Gail ShalanWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Kirt GravesWebsite | Facebook Narrator Page | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Lindsey DorcusWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram The Narrator Roundtable is produced by André Santana, Deanna Anthony, Gail Shalan, Kirt Graves, and Lindsey Dorcus.

    We have often praised the narrator community for being welcoming and generous, but how was that community built? How do we safeguard these safe spaces as they grow exponentially each year? How do we avoid becoming the industry equivalent of the high school cafeteria, where you pick your table and stay there? We are excited to welcome Andi Arndt to The Narrator Roundtable to help us break down these questions (and probably more).Find The Narrator RoundtableWebsite | BlueSky | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Andi ArndtWebsite | Facebook Page | Instagram Find André SantanaWebsite | Facebook Profile | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Deanna AnthonyWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Gail ShalanWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Kirt GravesWebsite | Facebook Narrator Page | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Lindsey DorcusWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram The Narrator Roundtable is produced by André Santana, Deanna Anthony, Gail Shalan, Kirt Graves, and Lindsey Dorcus.

    When we talk about resources that help keep us in the audiobook game, we’re making the assumption that we’re here for the long haul. In this episode, we’re picking that assumption apart with guest host Alex Knox as we dig into purpose and what drives our reason for being in the narration industry in the first place.Find The Narrator RoundtableWebsite | BlueSky | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Alex KnoxWebsite | Instagram Find André SantanaWebsite | Facebook Profile | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Deanna AnthonyWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Gail ShalanWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Kirt GravesWebsite | Facebook Narrator Page | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok Find Lindsey DorcusWebsite | X (Twitter) | Instagram The Narrator Roundtable is produced by André Santana, Deanna Anthony, Gail Shalan, Kirt Graves, and Lindsey Dorcus.
