Samuel West
Summary
Joining us at the Audible Studios is Samuel West, English actor, theatre director and voice actor of over 70 audiobooks.
Samuel narrates the 1990 Booker Prize winner, Possession by A. S. Byatt, an exhilarating novel of wit and romance. It is the tale of a pair of young scholars researching the lives of two Victorian poets, uncovering their letters, journals, and poems, tracking their movements from London to Yorkshire, showing an extraordinary counterpoint of passions and ideas.
In this interview, Samuel tells us about Possession, what he likes about narrating, what it was like growing up in a family of actors and what he’s working on next.

I can listen to Sam West for days
Besides being gifted with a wonderfully listenable (yes, I probably made that up) voice, Sam unpacks a topic beautifully and you just want to keep listening. His explanation on the topic is insightful and intelligent... made me want to hear the book.

Worth listening to
No wonder he’s such a good narrator, this is a thoughtful and intriguing insight into the process. I genuinely think that an audiobook creates an additional layer of art - I place a lot of value in the performance and a good performance can really elevate a book.
Samuel West’s narration of Possession was absolutely first class and I might just listen to it all over again!!

Way to go,Sam!
A fascinating interview which is very informative about the challenges of reading an audiobook from a master of the genre. Sam West was a superbly fluent interviewee. Brilliant.

Interesting insights into doing voice overs
For years I have watched TV documentaries, sometimes about subjects I wasn't particularly interested in, just because Samuel West was doing the narration. He is the perfect combination of both his parents' voices. Combined to be become better than either (and they're both pretty good!)
