Dishonor Audiobook Narration
Caleb Steele
Dishonor
I worked for author David Mike in providing a voice acting narration of his book, Dishonor.
The Idea and How I Accomplished It
For this project, I worked to provide a moving narration for an autobiographical account of a soldier's dishonorable discharge and eventual redemption. I had to get into the mind of the characters, the good and the bad, in order to accurately portray each one as an individual. I used tone changes to depict various emotions, including anger, regret, joy, and sadness.
Result
The client, author David Mike, was very appreciative of my work, saying,
I can’t thank Caleb enough for such an amazing job narrating my memoir with dedication and attention to detail. We talked before he started in order for me to explain my expectations and he took everything and ran with it. Caleb kept me informed the entire time, worked quickly to get the job done in the time we discussed and took every bit of feedback to edit the story to my liking. I even sent him the wrong manuscript early on and he adjusted to get the story back on track. I have to say that Caleb will go above and beyond to help you create an amazing audiobook. If I had a part two, I would hire Caleb again to read it."
The Dishonor Audiobook has also gained 4.9 stars for performance on Audible, including these reviews from listeners -
I wasn't expecting such a great narrator, but I was pleasantly surprised and very impressed."
I’ve had it [Dishonor] on my to-read shelf for years. I’m so glad it was made into an audiobook."

The goal was to capture the essence of David's story; I had to align my narration with his feelings during each scenario in order display the correct tension.
