Off Off Pod - Episode 029 - David Marantz - Voice-Over Artist and Actor
David Marantz and Stephen Bittrich in the webseries OFF OFF.
Dave and I have been working on projects together for a while… in fact he is one of the stars and a co-producer of the webseries I created, Off Off.
But in this interview we concentrate on his newest triumph, Audio Book Narrator.  At this time of this interview he's narrated 51 books on Audible.com.  (Check out his page!)
I should also mention that Dave is now starring as Malvolio in the Drilling Company's Shakespeare in the Parking Lot production of Twelfth Night.  (I hear he's quite fetching in yellow cross-garters.)
For more information about Dave, check out his website.
