How did you prepare to narrate Into the Mist by P.C. Cast?
I prepared the same way I do for most books: I read it through, making a list of characters (and any pronunciation queries) as I went. I also jotted down any clues that P.C. Cast gave about character’s voices. In studio, the main thing – as always! - was to be rested and hydrated. Some things you can’t prepare for – like how hard-hitting some of the emotional moments were in “Into The Mist”. We had a few tears in studio!
Other work by Lorelei King:
As well as being an actress and voice artist, I have been a writer, script-editor, and voice director for children’s television programs (Chuggington, Bob the Builder). And a job that is very close to my heart is that of charity ambassador for the British dementia charity, DementiaUK.
More books narrated by Lorelei King:
I narrate Janet Evanovich’s “Stephanie Plum” series, as well as her new “Gabriela Rose” series. I also narrate the “Mercy Thompson” series by Patricia Briggs, and the “Charlie Davidson” and “Sunshine Vikram” series by Darynda Jones.
