ABOUT DAVID

David has been doing voice work since 1976, beginning in radio/TV and doing commercial voiceovers until the early 2000s. He also spent time doing on-camera work for public television. As his education progressed, he received a PhD, began teaching university classes, moved to eLearning, and continued doing voice work for several online courses. 

David left teaching in 2014 and began his professional narration career. He has a high-quality home studio and loves narrating nonfiction and instructional work. He currently has several training audiobooks in distribution. 

David does volunteer work in Public-Domain nonfiction for LibriVox, serving the sight-limited population and also fosters rescued and abandoned puppies in his home (they’re right next to the sound booth, so there’s a lot of extra padding in there to dampen the tiny barks).

TESTIMONIALS

5.0 out of 5 stars! Great practical guidance for shelter volunteers! I enjoyed listening to the audiobook. The narration is pleasant and the delivery was spot on. I have volunteered in animal shelters in the past and wish I had had this book to listen to then.

"The narrator’s delivery has the lilt of an awesome storyteller, and his tempo and elocution enhance the listener’s ability to absorb what is being said. In the intro in particular, I also enjoyed a trailing chuckle appropriately placed. It’s not easy to get out the words with no mistakes, but with the right amount of passion in the delivery, so bravo!!"

"Originally, I decided that I would narrate my own books… Well, that is a lot tougher than it looks, and through a mutual friend, I was introduced to David York, and no kidding, I had my first book completed, uploaded to Audible had an audiobook! Now that might sound like a referral, right? Maybe… but to me, the real referral is, I had him do the other seven and help with my podcast as well. He is easy to communicate with and works to help the client. If you're smart, you will call him!"
