Reviews

“Michael was a joy to work with—professional, great communication, and he did an absolutely outstanding job on Marissa Brandt’s DRAGON’S BLOOD. He delivered an amazing performance for all of the characters—not only Fynn and Ishtar, but Kishar, Rusty, Calvos…they were all great! He really brought the novella to life. I look forward to working with him again in the future.”

Karin Welss, owner, Philtata Press, LLC

“Michael Kirby’s narration absolutely enhances the listening pleasure of this tale. He pushes the pace when necessary, slows it to emphasize the moments, and breathes life into each and every character, regardless of their role. There were afternoons where I sat in my car just a little bit longer, just to listen to him relay the story created by Ms. Rains, inspired by her parents and doubtless tales of their work from that era.”
–Audible Listener Jenn Crouse

“Michael Kirby is the narrator on this one & I think he did a magnificent job! I loved how he brought each character to life, portraying them perfectly. His voice is soothing & not at all aggravating as some thriller narrators can be”
–Molly Dawn of Page Turners and Sweet Tea

“5 Stars- Just my kind of listen. The story was exceeded by the performance. I did not want it to end.“

-Audible Listener

“Michael Kirby brings both exceptional talent and professionalism to the production of the Ocean of Storms audiobooks. The demands of this series are prodigious. However, Kirby illuminates an incredibly diverse set of characters from Texan Marines to Bedouin sheiks with great skill. He accurately paints everyone, from the fumbling malapropisms of the ship’s steward to the excruciatingly technical observations of the ship’s doctor.

Authors are protective of their characters, but Kirby adds to them. He lifts them from the page, adding color and dimensions to the text. Michael Kirby has worked through the pages of this series with great care, precision, independent research, and always on schedule.”
