We have been telling each other stories since the beginning of time and Audiobooks carry on this beautiful human tradition. The best ones have a narrator that holds your attention, shapes the story and keeps the listener connected from the first chapter to the last.
As a British female audiobook narrator, I bring warmth, connection and natural emotional intelligence to fiction, non-fiction, memoir, wellbeing, education and long form audio content.
Audiobook narration is about more than just reading beautifully. It is about inhabiting characters and stories with truth and honesty. It takes rhythm, emotional detail, pacing and a strong understanding of the relationship between narrator and listener.
My voice is warm, sophisticated, trustworthy and personal. It is perfect for audiobook narration that feels intimate without being overperformed.
Storytelling, communication and emotional truth are central to my work and I give the listener a voice they can trust and spend time with.
I record from my own broadcast-ready studio, offering authors, publishers and producers a smooth, professional audiobook recording process with high-quality audio.
Choosing the right audiobook narrator means finding a voice that understands the tone, pace and emotional world of your book. A good narrator should not only sound right, but feel right for the story you want to tell.
This is why a custom sample read can be so valuable. By sending over a short extract from your book, you can hear how I would approach the tone, delivery and emotional shape of the writing before committing to the full audiobook.
Many of the authors I work with come back to me for future projects because the relationship between author and narrator can become such a valuable creative collaboration. Once the final words are written, the audiobook gives the story a new life, allowing the tone, rhythm and emotion of the book to reach the listener in a different way.
I take real care in understanding the author’s intention, so that my performance feels like an extension of the work rather than something separate from it.
Audiobooks are now one of the most important ways readers experience books.
In the UK, audiobook revenue reached a record £268 million in 2024, while the US audiobook market reached $2.22 billion, showing just how many readers are choosing to listen as part of their everyday lives.
A professional audiobook narrator does more than simply read the words on the page. They guide the listener through the story, shape the pacing, carry the emotion and help the book feel alive from the first chapter to the last.
For fiction, narration can bring characters, atmosphere and tension into sharper focus. For non-fiction, the right voice can make complex ideas feel clear, credible and easy to absorb. In both cases, the narrator becomes the connection between the author and the listener.
A warm British female audiobook narrator can give your book a voice that feels intelligent, trustworthy and engaging. With a clear British accent, sophisticated delivery and emotionally connected performance, I can help your story reach listeners in a way that feels natural, polished and completely immersive.
Kate recently stepped in at very short notice to voice a short corporate film for us. As soon as I spoke to her I knew I was in safe hands. She has that rare ability to interpret the brief and deliver exactly what you need and she is also very professional and lovely to deal with.
Rachael Maclean-Anderson,
Really Good Films
Kate is always a pleasure to work with and has stepped in on last minute projects for us multiple times, always with a positive attitude. Kate worked collaboratively alongside us and our client in order to create a bespoke voiceover and we will definitely be using her again in the future.
Jess Twigg,
Vermillion Films
Kate is always a delight to work with – from her meticulous organisation and project management to her positive can-do attitude, she is someone that you always want to get on your team, and if you manage it, you’re bloody lucky.
Katy Raffin,
Telling Tales Productions
Kate was an absolute pleasure to work with on a recent campaign video for a national charity client. She was highly flexible and accommodating with a really short delivery time and provided several highly professional but also varied voice over options which added the perfect tone for the job.
Rowan Hughes,
Rhodium Creative
It's hard not to be inspired by Kate's passion and attitude. You know with Kate, you are in a safe pair of hands no matter what situation you find yourself in, she knows her stuff, is extremely personable and has the ability to adapt quickly and think on her feet.
