Jonathan Hanst, Audiobook Wizard

Jonathan spent over a decade writing copy and producing audio for radio stations as a Creative Services Director. This entailed doing silly character voices, listening to music, and finding the perfect sound effects to advertise station promotions. He says, “It was a sweet gig.”

During his radio journey, he started doing voice overs as a freelancer and eventually went solo in 2006 and began running his own studio. He still exercises his creative muscle by crafting mixtapes, shooting goofy videos in his booth, and making art. He’s also a fan of pinball, vinyl records, and classic 80s arcade games. He also coaches authors who want to narrate their own books and creates world-class audiobooks.
