About Capers Simmons

American audiobook narrator, producer, composer, singer. I have narrated several audiobooks and recorded hundreds of instrumentals and songs. My music is in several film and TV libraries and has been placed in documentary productions. I have also recorded radio advertisements and station IDs. I have been recording for almost 20 years and produce professional work, on-time for whatever project you have. My voice is versatile and clear, with a moderate, resonant timbre and neutral accent by default, although my life experiences, research, and practice enable several variations to add audio flavor any project.

Service Overview

Voice Over

For nearly two years now I have been engaged in freelance audiobook production, with no negative reviews of my performance on any published work. I speak in a neutral, general North American accent at a tenor range. Living in the Southern US but having relatives in California, the Pacific Northwest, New York and Philadelphia, I have an ear many different US accents, as well as a fascination with linguistics and an ear for language that has allowed me to work in accents from elsewhere as needed in different works. I can read Spanish aloud in a general Latin American accent with fluency.
