2009 Audie Nominee
The Overlords appeared suddenly over every city - intellectually, technologically, and militarily superior to humankind. Benevolent, they made few demands: unify earth, eliminate poverty, and end war. With little rebellion, humankind agreed, and a golden age began.
But at what cost? With the advent of peace, man ceases to strive for creative greatness, and a malaise settles over the human race. To those who resist, it becomes evident that the Overlords have an agenda of their own.
As civilization approaches the crossroads, will the Overlords spell the end for humankind...or the beginning?
"In Eric Summerer's capable hands, the plot of Childhood's End is smoothly presented and fully credible. ...Summerer excels at delivering the aliens' quiet and intensely engaging dialogue with people. His nuanced performance creates a growing feeling of uneasiness in the listener as the Overlords' insatiable curiosity and watchfulness begin to suggest something less than benign at work."

Harlan Hogan's book, VO: Tales and Techniques of a Voice Over Actor, is one of the best that I've read on the subject. You can purchase and read countless books about the nuts and bolts of producing a good voiceover performance, and they all seem to provide similar information. This one, however, has a unique perspective. Hogan provides some great anecdotes about mistakes he's made, as well as how he's managed to succeed. Each section is lead by a lovely illustration from the Harlan Hogan Production Calendar, and the whole thing is an entertaining read. Other books may have useful information, but none gives you the feeling that you've been let into the secret inner circle as much as Harlan Hogan. -Eric
