Erin Mallon
Erin Mallon is a vibrant part of the audiobook community. Listeners love her natural delivery and her smooth transitions between characters. Her youthful voice makes her a great match for children's and YA titles, while her darker, huskier tones delight fans of fiction, science fiction, mystery, and romance. Mallon's ratings on Audible.com are consistently high, she has received several AudioFile Earphones Awards, and she is an Audie Award finalist in 2020 for Abby Jimenez's The Friend Zone and was a SOVAS-nominated narrator in 2019 for Meghan March's Deal with the Devil.
Her energetic performances are just right for children's titles. Her clear, clipped, and purposeful narration complements Gail Gibbons's children's nonfiction From Seed to Plant. She connects well with teen audiences through her sensitive performances. In Puddin', Book 2 of Julie Murphy's Dumplin' series, co-narrated with Kyla Garcia, Mallon's raspy, snarky delivery adds to the humor to the story. Another YA title, Rae Carson's Walk on Earth a Stranger: Good Seer Trilogy, Book 1, gives Mallon a chance to handle a diverse group of characters, and she does so with perfect pitch and pacing. She makes listeners feel what the characters feel, and that makes her a favorite of fans and critics.
Many romance audiobooks call for more than one narrator. Mallon has narrated hundreds of romance titles, sometimes solo and sometimes with a partner. In Lauren Blakely's romantic comedy The Real Deal, Mallon is paired with Zachary Webber. Webber's charm and Mallon's whispery voice keep the chemistry between them humming in every scene. Luke Daniels joins her for the narration of Tanya Eby and Sarina Bowen's contemporary romance Man Hands. Their performances, filled with emotion and humor, won an Earphones Award. Mallon's top-notch narrations in mystery and suspense are performances to savor. In Christine Mangan's mystery set in Tangier, Tangerine, Mallon delivers a coolly logical sociopath, while in Sheila Webster Boneham's Animals in Focus Mysteries, Drop Dead on Recall and The Money Bird, her character voices, both human and animal, are believable and never overdone.
