Reader Profile: Jayne Entwistle

Today looks like a perfect day for a reader profile of Jayne Entwistle! The reader for the Flavia de Luce and Hunchback Assignments books is one of my favourites. If you go to her website, take a listen to her demo reel. How can she make so many distinct voices and characters? Astounding!

Entwistle was born in Blackpool, England, and lived in Tel Aviv, Canada, and the US after leaving the UK. Now she lives in L.A. and aside from her excellent work as an audiobook narrator, works as the Associate Artistic Director for the Improvatorium, an improv troup with "Semper Ridiculum" as its motto.  She will soon be seen in Dark Games – a thriller movie where she plays a psychotic mother.

Entwistle is the type of person I'd like to share tea with. Improv people usually scare me, though, so it would need to be tea in an enclosed, controlled setting where public embarassment was not on the menu.

You can listen to Entwistle's demo reel by going to her website, and clicking on "Media" and then "Movies and Voiceovers". Excellent stuff and very inspiring!
