My Audiobook Skillset

Health & Wellness

My professional background includes sports injury therapy and rehabilitation, sport and therapeutic massage, personal training, yoga, and water aerobics. I have owned 2 spas and have experience as an esthetician. The knowledge and experience I have accumulated serve me well for medical narration and anything related to health and wellness generally, including women’s health, pets, and mental health.

Travel & Hospitality

Travel has played a huge role in my life. For nearly ten years I lived and worked as a scuba diving instructor on many Caribbean and Pacific Islands. That transitioned into hospitality with the management of resorts in Belize and The Bahamas and a boutique hotel in Ecuador, South America. Europe, including the UK and France, was also my home for many years and I now live permanently in Mexico.

Biography & Memoirs

There is a fascination for me when I narrate the personal life of another human being. An autobiography, biography, or memoir means that an individual bares themselves to the reader, to the world, in fact, which takes courage. We all seem so disconnected these days but this type of work draws me into a stranger’s life and, somehow, makes me feel like a confidant.

Corporate & Industrial

Having been self-employed for most of my life and personally owning several businesses with multiple employees I have a great deal of experience in human resources, employee training, executive decision-making, business plans, marketing, advertising and more. Managing two resorts and a hotel has only added to my knowledge and experience in this area.

History

Who isn’t fascinated by history? Well, I am! In particular, medieval, renaissance, medical and the history of war. Humbly, I believe that to narrate history is to bring it to life with the reverence it deserves. To pay homage to the human experience that has gone before us is to understand ourselves better. We are all a part of history.

Nature

Spending three hours every day underwater as a scuba instructor was a pivotal moment in my life because I learned about the delicate balance of nature and the need to safeguard our planet.  I have also worked as a veterinary nurse, a dog trainer, and a petsitter. Now, living in Yucatán México, at the edge of the jungle, I wake up to the sound of wild parrots, Motmots, Altamira Orioles, and my four dogs. Bliss.

French

I grew up with a Parisienne mother and went to school near Paris as a child. Later, in our California home, French was the first language in the household. In addition to the language, I am very familiar with French culture and have a deep understanding of the people.

I can narrate your audiobook in Metropolitan French with what I would describe as a “Parisienne” accent.

French Demos

Spanish

I learned Spanish initially at College when living in Scottsdale, Arizona. Since then I lived in Ecuador for 3 years, and now reside permanently in Yucatán, México. As a result I am now fluent in the language. I have lived in México since 2019 and have embraced the culture here and the amazing people. 

I am able to narrate your audiobook in Mexican Spanish.

Accents

Having gone to a school outside Paris as a child and also growing up with my Parisian-born French mother I am able to do a ‘Parisienne’ style French accent. I also lived for many years in the United Kingdom and I can perform a ‘posh’ British accent as well as a more neutral accent. My husband is British, so I have a great example with me every day!

Having grown up in California, I can do the ‘Valley Girl’ style of speaking as well.

Philosophy

Philosophy can help clarify some of life’s deepest questions.

Philosophical works make us think and see things in a new way and help us understand our role in the universe and beyond.

I would love to narrate your philosophical work by breathing life into the text in a clear, interesting, and articulate manner, while conveying all the nuances of the subject.

Medical

The healthcare industry is growing at a rapid rate. There is a need for informational, educational, and training resources to help medical students, nursing students, and other healthcare professionals as well as educating the general public.

As a former sports injury rehabilitation therapist and therapeutic bodywork practitioner, I am both qualified and highly suited to narrate your medical book or manuscript. I will deliver it in a clear, confident voice with correct pronunciation and pacing to make it flow smoothly.

Self-Help

Self-improvement and Self-discovery audiobooks come under this category and they are very popular.

Narrating a book in this category requires authenticity, believability and genuine interest in the subject. 

Whether your book is aimed at a more holistic, spiritual, internal improvement  demographic, or it is more about developing specific skills or attributes and putting them to practical use, I will convey what you want to communicate to your listeners in an engaging and compelling way.

Working with Colette was an absolute pleasure. She brought my book to life with her incredible energy, emotion, and passion, making it a joy to listen to. Colette was prompt and cooperative with revisions, always maintaining a polite and friendly communication style. I highly recommend Colette for anyone looking to create an engaging and heartfelt audiobook.

Working with Colette was an amazing experience for me! To have my books, especially Fibromyalgia, come alive was amazing. It was Colette’s voice that really made the difference. She made my book come alive. Fantastic! So Natural!
