Meet The Voice Behind

The Recorded Book

DANBURY — Ever wonder how the narrators on recorded books keep all the characters and voices straight? How do they prepare for these extraordinary roles as book narrators?

Faith Middleton, the most of The Faith Middleton Show on Connecticut Public Radio and Television, will find out the answer to these questions and more as she interviews Barbara Rosenblat, one of the most popular and sought-after book narrators in the country, at Danbury Library’s program “Who’s Behind That Voice.”

The program will be on Thursday, April 6, from 7 to 8 pm, in the Farioly Program Room. It is free and open to the public.

Ms Middleton has been twice awarded journalism’s highest national honor, the George Foster Peabody Award for national broadcast journalism. She has also contributed to National Public Radio and Connecticut Public Television. Additionally, she is a food columnist for The Hartford Courant Sunday edition and author of The Goodness of Ordinary People.

Ms Rosenblat’s narrations have earned her nine of Audiofile’s prestigious GoldenEarphone awards for excellence in audio performances. Her recorded book credits include classics, romances and popular fiction, among them Street of Five Moons by Elizabeth Peters, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, and Blind Descent by Nevada Barr.
