Coaches Directory

Coaches who specialize in business topics and audiobook performance are listed on this page. For help learning accents and dialects, check out the many resources linked in Where/how can I learn accents and dialects?, as well as the accent and dialect coaches and classes listed in the Welcome Center.

You’ll want to research coach(es) because:

  • Your choice of coach(es) depends on your background, needs, and aspirations at the time.
  • Coach personalities and coaching styles differ, and you’ll connect better with some coaches than others.
  • You will want different types of coaching throughout your career.

Here are 3 articles to get you started:

  • I wrote the article 10 questions to ask coaches and demo producers.
  • Casting director and award-winning narrator Tanya Eby offers tips for researching coaches in this article.
  • In this article, Grammy-winning producer and director Paul Alan Ruben discusses 7 things narrators should expect from a coach.

As I explain in Thoughts About Advice in Narrator Groups, you need to be careful about the advice you give and take in social media groups.

I also suggest that you listen to and/or read previous interviews with your prospective coach(es) to get a sense of them and their work. While you’ll find many podcasts and YouTube playlists linked on the Welcome Center page, these resources are good places to start:

  • Audiobook Narration for Beginners podcast
  • Audiobook Speakeasy podcast
  • Narrator’s Cup of Joe video series
  • The Nomad Narrator podcast
  • Tanya Eby’s Substack articles about recommended coaches:
    • Part 1 spotlights Erin Moon and Ann Richardson
    • Part 2 highlights Emily Lawrence, PJ Ochlan, and Hillary Huber
    • Part 3 interviews Joel Froomkin and Jennifer Jill Araya
    • Part 4 focuses on Andi Arndt and Elise Arsenault
    • Part 5 showcases Ronnie Butler and me

* Note: You may need a subscription to read Tanya’s Substack. You’ll find a discount offer in the Welcome Center.
