THE STORY
I have been telling stories my entire life. It started as a child (though some might have called them “lies”). Those “dramatic embellishments” led me into the world of acting where I have continued to tell the stories of brilliant playwrights, screenwriters and authors for nearly three decades.
Classically trained in theatre, film, television and voice over, I have developed a reputation for nuanced characterizations and trustworthy honesty. My resume includes nearly 100 audiobook titles across all genres, including romance under my pseudonym, Grayson Owens.
I am obsessed with the paranormal and true crime (I am an amateur Ripperologist) and have an intense curiosity that has me always learning new things from business to human behavior. When I am not in the booth I am either cultivating my bonsai collection, hanging on the beach with a book or creating my own stories with my wife and two kids who keep me working to feed our Disney addiction.
THE STUDIO
Eric produces professional quality voice overs from his home studio in the Midwest. His Studiobricks One Plus VO Edition booth is equipped with a Neumann TLM 103 microphone recording through a Scarlett 2i2 interface on Reaper.
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
"Eric's talent is incredible!!! His enunciation is so clear and impressive! And, in my view, changing voices from one character to another, by the sentence, is impossibly challenging, far more so than mastering the voice of a particular character in a script. We are so blessed he could do us!!!"
"I think Eric more than rose to the occasion and his slight inflection from character to character works very well, and moves the story along. I’d like very much thank him myself if you would provide me with his email address I will do so,and copy you on it.
Now to get some listeners ."
"Eric is a real chameleon. I am convinced there is nothing he cannot narrate convincingly from the peppy 3 year old girl with the lisp to the elderly Russian male with a rasp. He throws himself completely into everything he does and he is also one of the nicest people I have ever worked with. I cannot recommend him enough."
"As a mystery author, I've been very fortunate to work with SAG Actor and audiobook narrator, Eric Altheide. He not only did a stellar narration of my story, Roses, Wine & Murder, but I had goosebumps when I heard my characters come alive so convincingly with his performance. I had multiple characters, some with accents and foreign language. He gave a 110% effort and made the story even better than I could have imagined. All I can say is, I'm impressed and I highly recommend him! "
"In audio form the unbeatable narration by Grayson Owens, with his awe inspiring ability to differentiate each of the male characters voices, and Marnye Young's emotion evoking portrayal of Frankie, make every chapter a masterpiece"
"Speaking of smooth - could these narrators be any better?!"
"Grayson does a spectacular job at differentiating between the guys. It’s drool worthy! Marnye and Grayson have ruined me for other audiobooks. "
"You could hear the emotions and that made me bond with the story that much more."
"Flawlessly performed!"
"Truly fantastic - The narration is beyond phenomenal. Outstanding!!!"
