What I feel very strongly about is the growing perception that audiobook listeners only care about cost - it’s easy to ruin a good book with a poorly researched and poorly delivered narration from the wrong actor. I’m very keen that publishers take listeners’ feedback seriously, and value those producers and narrators who invest in consistently delivering quality. I feel that as self-publishing and even self audio-publishing rise, this is a huge opportunity for publishers to define and defend their role as arbiters of quality.
* '''BB: I couldn't agrre more agree with youmore, Matt. Here at Bookbag we've come to appreciate the benefits when a book is narrated by a top-class voice actor.'''
'''As a voice actor, what's your greatest fear?'''
On Friday 23rd October I’m in ''Doctors'' on BBC1, playing a Sports Agent who’s desperate to keep his top player on the pitch. And if you’ve not had enough of me by then I’ll be appearing in ''The Snow Queen'', at the fabulous Theatre by the Lake in Keswick this Christmas. 2016 will see the release of the final instalment in the Mortymer trilogy ''Song of the Earth'', and the prequel to the series ''This Proud and Savage Land''.
* '''BB: There's a lot of exciting stuff there, Matt and I - for one - can't wait for the final part of the Mortymer trilogy. Thanks for waking taking the time to chat to us.'''
