Ep 101: Playing Your Part: Identity in Casting (w/ Joel Leslie Froomkin)

The Narrator Roundtable

Casting is a huge part of the audiobook production process—a narrator crafts the whole story—so it makes sense that authentic casting has been on the rise across audiobooks in recent years. But what does it mean to cast authentically, has this been happening consistently across the industry, and how do we look at our own roles in exploring the nuances of the casting process? This episode of the Narrators Roundtable brings Joel Froomkin into the fray with our hosts to discuss what we’ve seen on the ground in terms of casting, and what informs our perspectives.
