Breaking into audiobook narration can feel overwhelming—especially when you're starting from scratch. In this episode, I sit down with audiobook narrator Katie Keary, who recently booked her very first audiobook after years of considering a career in voiceover and narration.
Katie shares her journey from working in education and nonprofit leadership to building a home studio, overcoming self-doubt, learning the technical side of narration, and finally landing her first audiobook project. We talk about the importance of mentorship, finding community, developing resilience, and why taking the first step is often the hardest part.
Whether you're just beginning to explore voice acting or you're looking for encouragement on your own creative journey, Katie's story is proof that it's never too late to pursue something that excites and inspires you.

The biggest challenges new narrators face
How to overcome perfectionism and self-doubt
What it's really like to build a home studio
Why creativity deserves a place in your life
If you've been waiting for a sign to start, this might be it.
