Audiobook: Over the Hills and Far Away
Recent WorkOver the Hills and Far Away
Over the Hills and Far Away is a short story by Fay Rahman. The audio drama (released in podcast form by Sony Music Entertainment) follows the violent and treacherous life of an English pirate who defects and seeks his fortunes in the Caribbean.
Audiobook Narrator & Voice Actor
The story was written in the third and first person. I used my natural voice for the narrator keen to deliver an engaging performance. For the characters, I gave a believable pirate voice to the protagonist (‘Arrrgh!’) while other characters received accents from Somerset, Manchester and aristocratic beginnings in London.
The story is now available on Spotify and has been fully produced with music and sound effects enhancing its scenes.
If you would like me to narrate your story please contact me.

Audiobook: One Man’s Treasure
One Man’s Treasure by Fay Rahman is set in the criminal underworld of medieval England. I had fun recording this story because its scandalous cast lent itself to some quirky regional English accents (‘alright guv’nor?’).
