Narrator Stephanie Cannon

Stephanie Cannon is an American voice actor, circus performer, and audiobook narrator living in England. In this conversation with host Jessica Stone, she tells us what that’s like, how walking on stilts complements reading in a box, which kinds of books she loves to narrate, and conversely which ones she'll take a pass on. We also discuss Kate Dylan’s cyberpunk dystopian novel Mindwalker and its sequel Mindbreaker, both narrated by Stephanie.

This interesting video/podcast deserves more than the 21 views and 2 likes that it has at time of writing (mid March 2024). Have just read and enjoyed Kate Dylan's Mindwalker on the page rather than as an Audiobook and greatly enjoyed it. I certainly want to explore the sequel Mindbreaker and shall try that in Stephanie's Audiobook version to see how the experience of reading and being read to differs. Mindwalker is set in a future in which, amongst other changes, technology allows one person to link to the mind of another, and temporarily take over directing their body. In the exciting extended climax to the novel, when a character appears we never know if they are being directed by their own mind or someone else's. I liked it even though I very rarely read science fiction. When I bought Mindwalker I did not realise it was classified as 'Young Adult' fiction, and am not sure exactly what that means. However, don't worry if you are not in whatever age bracket Young Adult is aimed at. I am sure I am not, but I still really liked it. I therefore hope booksellers will not ghettoize novels like this by displaying and promoting them in such a way that only a restricted age group are aware of them. I was also interested to hear what it is like to be a professional Audiobook reader and how it affects her own reading habits. So thanks for this podcast/video.
