The complex choices involved in casting and narrating audiobooks
Posted by: LynnB 07:08 pm EDT 06/21/21

This is an interesting article. Here's one of the many perceptive comments quoted:

'January LaVoy, a biracial narrator who identifies as Black, said that cross-cultural audiobook narration is freighted in different ways for white narrators and narrators of color. “For many white narrators, it’s difficult because of fear [of backlash]. For many narrators of color, it’s difficult because of the weight of responsibility.” The industry is grappling with these issues daily. “It’s difficult for everyone,” LaVoy said.'
