Welcome to Season 7 Episode 8 of the Audiobook Lovin Podcast!
In this lively and unexpectedly hilarious episode, narrator Steve Corona joins us for a conversation that goes from insightful to wonderfully off-the-rails in the best way. We dig into creative inspirations, the quirks that shape an artist’s voice, and the pop-culture influences that stick with you, yes, including a nostalgic nod to Weird Al Yankovic, the soothing magic of Enya, and even a surprise detour featuring Gerard Butler.
Steve brings warmth, humor, and authenticity to every topic, making this episode a must-listen for audiobook fans, fellow narrators, and anyone who loves hearing how creative minds work behind the scenes.
Tune in for laughter, storytelling, and a peek into the wonderfully weird world inside a narrator’s brain.
Steve Corona is an award-winning narrator, dialect coach, and actor with 20 years experience in film/tv/theatre & voiceover. His background as a character actor has served him well in audiobook land where he has focused primarily on character-heavy stories. Most recently, Steve's affinity for accents has been well employed in fantasy, thrillers, and especially LitRPG audiobooks. While Steve does enjoy the occasional dual or duet narration, he mostly does solo projects where he gets to voice entire worlds of characters. One book in particular required Steve to voice 93 characters using 28 accents! He loves storytelling and is happy to be doing the work he was made for.
