Simon Vance (@SimVan) has narrated over 1000 audiobooks in his career, with such a diverse range of works, from George R.R. Martin and Steig Larsson’s Millennium series (which we discuss), to Brent Weeks and Charles Dickens! He’s also focused on getting back in front of the camera as an actor, which we talk about at length because of how much success he’s had in audiobooks, and he still wants to explore new territory!

 

Just a bit of what we cover in this episode with Simon:

  • What he initially studied at University that didn't work out
  • All the twists and turns and decisions that led him to a job at the BBC
  • The weekend workshop that really opened his eyes to being an artist
  • The struggles he faced as an actor when first moving to California
  • Being nervous before starting to record an audiobook
  • His new challenge of getting better as an on-screen actor in film and TV—and so much more!

 

Simon is wonderfully open about the lack of clarity in his early years, the not knowing, and the challenging relationships. While it hasn’t always been easy, he also has some fantastic ideas and insights on what has worked for him along the way!

Plus, Simon even shares how he worked on a practically unreadable chapter in Alan Moore’s Jerusalem, so don’t miss that!
