Recenzii

"After working with Taro for over 20 years on a variety of projects I have come to know all of the talents Taro has as an audiobook producer. She brings a unique and rare perspective to every project. Taro works with talent to draw out and perfect the best performancenot just the best read. . . . There are few producers who work in audiobooks who look at a project from the actors point of view. But whether it is an audiobook project, a music project, or writing, Taro brings a wealth of acting and producing knowledge and experience. Pete Pantelis, Grammy Award-winning audio production engineer
What makes her a wonderful audio director is that she understands language (why this word or phrase at this moment) and the beats in the book (where we are emotionally and how to build to there or from there), and her overall approach to theproject is from an actors point of view, which is extremely helpful to the reader. Joe Morton, actor, and winner of Emmy, Audie, Lucille Lortel, Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle, and NAACP Image awards
I love working with Taro and can think of no one more qualified to write a book on audiobook acting. Shes able to communicate with tremendous clarity how to best navigate the medium with precision, freedom, and fun. Combine that with her innate understanding of great storytelling and you have a phenomenal audiobook director and mentor. Kevin Isola, actor, adjunct teacher, NYU Tisch School of the Arts graduate acting program
We worked together on five books . . . and my trust in her deepened with each book. She taught me so much about the art of storytelling! Now . . . some 450 books later, I still hear her voice in my head, offering sage advice whenever I encounter a particularly challenging passage and reminding me to always keep the narrative fresh and engaging. Gerard Doyle, actor, and winner of Audie, Earphone, and AudioFile awards
