Barbara has voiced more than 400 audiobooks! Her extraordinary range and abilities have earned her eight Audie Awards from the Audio Publishers Association — accumulating more Audies than any other single narrator.

Recently Barbara held an amazing seminar called How To Become An Audiobook Narrator where she explains everything from how to do this special kind of voice acting work to breaking into the business. Voice artist Dan O'Day has gone ahead and made the audio of this seminar available on his website for instant download.
