Testimonials

  • “Hi! You did the voice for Atlan in my vampire trilogy (“The Vampires Will Save You,” etc) and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the way you read Atlan’s character! It’s absolutely brilliant. I feel like you really brought him to life in a wonderful way, and I’m so grateful”

    Rebecca Kenny - Author

    Samuel Miller - Author

  • “Eric handled my complex novel dealing with a plethora of dialects and a myriad of nuanced emotions with expert precision. He has a professional pride and demeanor that is a pleasure to work with. As the late Noble Willingham said in City Slicker, “I’m as happy as a puppy with two peckers.”

    Charles L. Templeton - Author

  • “Another masterful narration. Thanks for really enhancing the story with your talented voice work.”

    JT Patton - Author

  • “Alexa Elmy and Eric McArthur were both new-to-me narrators. I thoroughly enjoyed their portrayals of Brooks and Palmer. Together, they made me remember why I fell in love with them and their story. I can’t wait to listen to more of their work”
