108 - Shannon Parks Interview

Published: Dec. 9, 2019, 8 a.m.

Marguerite Gavin (Shannon Parks) has been a professional audiobook narrator for over twenty years with over 500+ titles, numerous\xa0Audie nominations and\xa0Earphones awards, and a devoted fan following. She has been described as a\xa0\u201cgenre-defining narrator\u201d by Audible.com; having a\xa0\u201csonorous voice, rich and full of emotion\u201dand as having the\xa0\u201ccoveted ability to disappear as the narrator, letting the story take the limelight it deserves\u201din\xa0Audiofile Magazine.\xa0

Her narration spans nearly every genre from mystery, science fiction and fantasy; romance; and children\u2019s fiction to a huge variety of nonfiction and documentary work. She is also a\xa0seasoned theater veteran, acting and directing in hundreds of productions.

As a\xa0highly respected acting teacher, she was on the graduate acting faculty at Catholic University of America; directed children of all ages in Shakespeare for many years; and now coaches narrators in the art of acting the audiobook.\xa0

She is the lucky mom of two (almost grown -up!) children. Marguerite is blessed to live at the Delaware seashore where she can usually be found in her recording studio; at the theater or frolicking in the ocean.\xa0
