About The Narrator
Narrator Robert Whitfield, real name Simon Vance, was born
in 1955 in Brighton, Sussex, England. Vance caught the acting
bug
whilst attending Brighton School of Music and Drama on Saturday
mornings. He began his career at the BBC in 1976 during summer
break, at Radio Brighton whilst studying at Lees University.
In 1984 he moved to London where he spend the rest of the decade
as a newsreader and presenter for BBC Radio 4. He discovered
his knack for narrating audiobooks when working at the Talking
Book Service of the Royal National Institute for the Blind. Vance
moved to California, USA in the 1990's and started recording
audiobooks professionally. He has won seven 'Earphone' awards
from AudioFile Magazine, three consecutive 'Audie' nominations
and three in 2006 from the Audio Publishers Association.
“Simon Vance takes a suitably
urbane approach, sounding as if he is attired in white tails
and sipping a very dry martini
between takes, taking particular pleasure with his characterizations.”- AudioFile
