September 2025 – Often August for voiceovers is a bit slow, and this year was no exception. But what was great was a flurry of work for me in TV and film, including landing regular work on an Apple TV series. This uptick in TV and film work continued the trend from July, when things first started to get busy for me there.

With that said, there’s not much I can share about that TV and film work. However, also in August my work as a stand-in on Season 12 of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver continued. I am very much enjoying work on this season, which is my 11th season aside from a few episodes in the first season.

As for audiobooks, in August I added four more titles to my record year for audiobook production. Of those four, three were by Victoria Wintersberger: Book’s Fieldtrip in the Custodian’s Cart, Brains Like Books, and Phil the Plastic Cup. The other audiobook was for City Shift Finance titled The Strategic Guide to Employee Relocation for Executives.

With that said, this month is already starting out well. I begin the month finishing the audiobook for Adam Hayes’s Action Agent Initiative: How to Serve Others and Get Shit Done. Then, I move on to producing selected chapters for a sequel to Knock, Knock by Samara Cove. Soon after, it looks as if I am due to finally start production of the audiobook for the late Stephen Thompson’s memoir titled Miracle on the Mountainside, co-authored by his widow Kym Coco.

So, aside from these, here are the audiobooks I’ve produced so far in 2025 (which is a record-setting year for me):

With all that recording work, I still did not complete work on the audiobook for my 2012 book Long-Form Improv, which has been a side project on which I have put no time pressure to complete. I suppose I can start calling its audiobook “long-awaited”!

The list of all my audiobooks narrated to date is compiled here on my voiceover website, Voiceoverpro.co.  That business is my related to my other voiceover businesses with my wife: Voiced By Us and PoliticalVoiceovers.com.

As for fitness, I’ve kept up the habit, with a little dip in the end of the month when I got locked into the Apple TV series with time only to work and sleep. Starting September with an audiobook didn’t help, but it shouldn’t be long before I get back into the swing of things. I’ve been focusing on weights and running, and my runs in August were often 5-, 6-, and 10-milers. Hopefully I can keep it up this month, which looks to promise a very “textured” schedule of TV and audiobook work!
