What My Authors, Clients, and Listeners Are Saying
“Boyd Barrett has become my one and only go-to audiobook producer, narrator and director. After some frustrating experiences that led to poor audiobook reviews of otherwise popular titles, I am thrilled to say that in Boyd, I have found someone who conveys what I mean with heart, accuracy, and superb production. I’m definitely a repeat customer who no longer shops around. If you want reviews that even exceed your hardcopy books, I cannot overstate my enthusiastic endorsement, whether for non-fiction narration or full-cast actor fiction.”
“Boyd narrated my first novel, Now I See You, and I was thrilled with the result. He really brought the narrative to life. While proofing the files, I found myself engrossed in the story and anxiously waiting for what would happen next, and I wrote the book! Boyd’s voice is deep and rich, and was perfect for my mystery series. He was very friendly and easy to work with. Boyd has narrated the first book in my series, and it won’t be the last!”
“Boyd Barrett is the full package when it comes to audiobook production. Not only is he a masterfully talented voice artist who can narrate in a wide variety of styles and voices, he has a true gift for feeling a story and knowing exactly how it should be read and arranged to capture the voice of the author and characters. Boyd produced my novel, organizing over twenty individual voice actors to create a full-cast audiobook production that rivals the best ensembles you’ll find on Audible. Additionally, he voiced the main narrator, various minor characters, and produced the entire audiobook from start to finish. He is a treasure and an absolute joy to work with. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
“Boyd Barrett is a world-class talent. Patient, resourceful, and endlessly creative, he possesses both an acute sense of audio production concepts as well as a keen understanding of the nature of storytelling. Collaborating with Boyd was a true joy; throughout the process of creating my debut audiobook, he acted as a teammate, mentor, and trusted guide, one who went above and beyond to ensure the success of the project. He took the time and effort to understand my vision—and then he was meticulous in enacting that vision, leveraging his industry expertise and a workhorse-like mentality to bring the story to life. I cannot recommend Boyd highly enough. He’s an artist beyond compare.”
“Wow! Boyd Barrett surprised me with his quality, professionalism, and creativity. Boyd voiced my series The Training of KX12, which I had not planned on doing an audiobook for because of how complex the story structure is. But he gave me an example and, well, now I can’t imagine anyone else voicing my writing. Thank you, Boyd!”
“Working with Boyd has been a joy. Boyd has an outstanding voice which is able to capture the depth and personality of each character in the book. He carefully works his magic setting the mood and framing the story in ways that are relatable for the audience. My book, Light Through a Rusty Roof, required a narrator who believed in each character and expressed that through every word and breath. I would highly recommend Boyd Barrett to anyone looking for an excellent audio book experience. Boyd was timely, supportive, and open to critique. Five stars for Boyd Barrett.”
“Boyd was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was transparent with costs and very patient and cooperative regarding any changes I wanted. The finished product was exactly what I required. Not to mention that his voice is quite mesmerizing! I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of working with Boyd and would highly recommend his services.”
“Working with Boyd Barrett is like listening to his voice - fully engaged, soulfully passionate, and beautifully creative. His narration is powerful, covering a wide range of emotions, characters, and experiences. But the best about working with Boyd is that he treated my novel with respect and interest - always patient to listen to my inputs and willing to implement changes, especially in light of a challenging international voice cast. He sticks to the timeline, is professional, flexible and personal, delivering a beautiful product and making its complex production look simple. I’ve enjoyed every aspect of working with Boyd and already look forward to working with him again for my upcoming seque
An amazing talent! He brings my stories and characters to life, capturing the spirit exactly as I intended. Boyd Barrett is a master voice artist.
“Boyd did an outstanding job recording audio for our virtual character. This is one of the best performances I’ve ever had for one of our more than 100 characters. He was also incredibly fast and the audio quality was very good. Cannot wait to work with him again!”
“Narration is FANTASTIC. Definitely an A-list voice over actor. Made this brilliant Brad Jersak book come alive, highly recommend.”
“Thank you for the new narrator. I tried listening the Brad’s previous books but could not get past the narrator and ended up returning them. Boyd Barrett did a great job!”
“The narrator who recorded this audio book is the best one on all of Brad Jersak’s works so far. If it’s possible, I would have him re-record all previous works available on Audible”
“I read this book a few years ago before the audio version came out and absolutely loved it. The audio book brings the world Kruse created even more alive! Each scene of gripping horror, humiliating failure, and glorious triumph is exclaimed wonderfully by this full cast! Listening will make you truly feel like you’re in Norick on such a fateful night. A town fully alive. A mystery dark as the night. Characters that are so real and relatable you almost feel you’re right with them experiencing their trials and tribulations, their joy and anguish, their success and failures. After the listen, I guarantee you’ll be wanting more of Norick and can’t wait for book two!”
“Narrated beautifully by Boyd Barrett and written from the heart by author Roy Terry, this is a must read for folks feeling tired and worn out on “religion”, but desiring and searching for the love of Christ seen and lived out in community.”
“I was not expecting this story. From the very beginning, I was captivated and could not stop listening.”
“You won’t regret spending time as Boyd Barrett narrates the beautifully life changing adventure of Rev Peters and the Others.”
“A wonderful story of 3 orphans who find the true meaning of Christmas. I enjoyed the story so much that I listened to it twice.”
“I was hooked from the beginning. A great who-done-it with a narrator who has a great voice for mystery.”
“Great book, great author, and great narrator! Can’t wait for the other books to be recorded!”
