From his background in theater and television to narrating over 600 audiobooks, Sean shares how he found his voice—literally—in this unique space.We talk about his deep love of reading (especially horror ), what it’s like to narrate alongside his wife and fellow narrator Patricia Santomasso, and the thoughtful process he goes through when approaching a new book.
