• The world has been going audio beginning

• Valuable links and resources with which to begin your audio journey.

*****
Dena Kouremetis began her writing career for the Sacramento Bee in the late 1990s. Soon she began providing content for websites, podcasts, blogs, ghostwriting and co-authoring books with and for other authors, and eventually became a contributor for Forbes. She currently maintains a blog on healthy aging for Psychology Today called (R)Aging with Grace.

Over the past few years, Kouremetis took her vocal talents, created a website with samples of her “voices,” and began narrating audiobooks, using her penchant for mimicry and foreign accents to make “audio movies” of novels.

While she gets work as a narrator for ACX/Audible, she adores working up-close and personal with local authors. Kouremetis invites you to visit her website at DenaKouremetis.com, which she swears is a great bathroom listening experience.
