Benjamin Fife

Benjamin ("Benny") Fife began his narration career at the tender age of eight or so when his mother insisted he practice reading aloud to eliminate the insertion of "umm" when reading. He went on years later to wow his eighth grade drama class with a dramatic reading from the spoiler scene of The Empire Strikes Back. Benny continued with drama through high school and particularly enjoyed learning the International Phonetic Alphabet and studying various accents and dialects, a hobby that he has held onto throughout his life.

When Benny's children were very young, they began a tradition of a nightly read aloud that has included classic titles such as Jane Eyre to lesser well-known gems, like the Hank the Cowdog series. Benny honed his narration chops on his family with everything from Lord of the Rings to Seven Years in Tibet.

Benny began narrating audiobooks professionally in 2018 and became a full-time narrator right before Covid hit in 2020. Benny thoroughly enjoys voicing a wide array of genres and styles, including fantasy, classical literature, sci-fi, health, activism, YA literature, visionary fiction, and many more. His versatility as a storyteller resonates with the multitude of accents, ages, and characters to whom he has admirably lent his voice. To date, he has narrated nearly 200 audiobooks and has a career goal to narrate the complete novels of Charles Dickens. He enjoys a good challenge and has bravely conquered words ranging from eicosatetraenoic acid to floccinaucinihilipilification. Benny is best known for his narration of the fourteen-book (and counting) series by Maria Grace, Jane Austen's Dragons.
