Author of Cerolian Sagas
I've worked with Shaina Summerville on two audiobook projects now, and both have turned out phenomenally! She has a talent for acting out scenes, accents, and many other nuances that fiction books require. Her narration makes it easy to pick out which character is speaking, which can be a difficult thing to do when there is a large cast of characters interacting with each other. Not only that, but working with her has always been a breeze! I'll be glad to have her helping me on my next book, and many more to come!

Working with Shaina was great. She turned Ava the Brave  from a spoken word piece into a complete emotional and physical experience. My advice is to book her now-finding a voice talent this good is a rare and wondrous thing.

Shaina did a spectacular job bringing the audio versions of my books to life. Her voicing was spot on for the book's tone and each character, and she came up with some fantastically clever solutions for things in the text that don't translate directly into audio.

Ms. Summerville’s performance is one full of energy and life. She brings out the youth and personalities of the characters perfectly. Some of her voice work is incredibly strong. . .  She keeps the pacing good for the story throughout, however, keeping listeners engrossed.
