Sadie-Jane Huff asked Michelle Babb:

how did you become a narrator?

Michelle Babb I’ve always loved reading aloud. When my kids were little I read the Harry Potter series to them and they always insisted I “do all the voices.” I did some theater in high school and college, and did graduate work in a major metropolitan area, and I think I’ve just always noticed accents and dialects, and had fun imitating them. Then in 2013 an acquaintance mentioned that she was listening to an audiobook, and that her interest in the book was affected by the skill and style of the narrator, and she said, “you’d be really good at that,” and I thought Yes, I think I would! So then of course I went to the Fount of All Knowledge, Google.com, and from there I found voices.com and acx.com, and I bought a microphone and learned how to upload an mp3, and I’m completely hooked.
