"Mr. Johnson helped me get lost in a world that I will probably never see. But he has a way of bringing Ms. Bennett’s words to life so I am able to see her world in my imagination. I could see our narrator as part of that world and he is sitting with us around a nice roaring fire. He could be considered a troubadour or a minstrel getting us riveted to the tale he is helping to create. Our troubadour will take this story to the next level by just the way he changes his voice."

"The story is a 5/5 for me. The NARRATION IS AMAZING. 6/5. Over 500 audiobooks and mostly LitRPG and this has taken the #1 spot for best Narration of LitRPG. When you hear Crazy Kane for the first time, you'll understand."

"This is one of the best audios I’ve listened to this year! My brain is still going over all that happens in this book. And the beautiful characters. Holden is so broken but so amazing all at the same time. I think he needed River to realize the amazing person he is. And River. River is just trying to keep it all together. These 2 men were made for each other. There were so many times I wanted to reach through my phone and hug both of them. I loved the narration! Zachary Johnson is now on my list of favorites! If you are on the fence about this book do yourself a favor and get it! But have some tissues handy. You’re going to need them."

The Narration: Zachary Johnson did a great job with this story. He had unique voices for all the characters and his ladies sounded like ladies. I especially applaud his ability to smoothly pronounce the complicated and odd avian names. He also put a lot of emotion into the story, capturing what these young, impressionable, hormonal teens are going through. His pacing was spot on, he sounded interested in the story, and there were no tech issues with the recording. 5/5 stars.

"This story is poignantly, heart-wrenchingly sad. It will make you very angry at their treatment and it will hurt your heart yet pull you in because the storyline is so believable. The characters are well developed and the narrator does an awesome job conveying the author's emotional nuances as well! Have tissues handy... you'll need them... but you'll love this book, too!"

"Zachary Johnson did an amazing job with this book. I was impressed with his excellent vocal skills and his ability to differentiate all the characters voices and inflections showing their personalities, both strengths and weaknesses This was a perfect pairing of author/reader."

"The narrator was the perfect choice for this listen! A lot of the dialogue takes place inside Finn's head (because teenager) and Johnson does not miss a step. You hear the whiney put upon teen with his parents-just-don't-understand inner dialogue. You hear the wide-eyed optimism when he deals with his mentor and friends. Then, as Finn learns more of the truth, Johnson's narration eases us into Finn's growth. He was awesome."

"A well-written narrative and a likable protagonist make this story worth the read. It's short, but action-packed. The narrator was especially skilled at evoking emotion throughout the story. He portrayed John and his struggles with aging perfectly."

"The dual narrators did an excellent job of giving the characters individual voices and making you feel all the emotions and tension in the story. I loved the one sentence commentary by Cauis at the end of the chapters and the deep sexy voice Zachary Johnson uses for him makes your toes curl and leaves you wanting more."

"Zachary Johnson is like a gift that fell from the sky. I needed a voice who could do accents, speak different languages, and just sound overall sexy. He can do it all. He's versatile, smart, and reads his parts with so much feeling, you can't help but get emotional listening to him. He's narrated two books of mine (and counting) and I would NEVER hesitate to work with him again."

"Zachary is fantastic to work with and a prompt communicator. He even sent me samples of individual voices he had been working on for major and minor characters to get my opinion before he began recording. He is a true professional, focused on top of the line equipment and sound tools, as well as listening to any suggestions I had with an open mind. On top of all that, as I listened to Zachary narrating my book, I could tell that it meant something to him, that he cared about the characters. That passion came through in his narration. I would definitely choose to work with Zachary again and would recommend him to any other author looking for a great production experience."

"Zachary transformed the written word of my story into powerful, memorable narration! The range of his skills brought unique life into each character. Among Zachary’s best talents is the keen ability to infer implied tones and then bring them out in the narration to their fullest maturity. He fully understood the content of the story and what was needed to flesh out the best aspects of the plot in an ensemble of character voices ranging from dark and brooding to light and whimsical. It can be difficult juggling the many challenges of being an indie author, but Zachary helped make the process of creating an audiobook seamless. He was responsive in our communication, and his work ethic met or exceeded my own. Everything he did made my story better in the audio format, and the final product we created together is something I’m truly proud to share with everyone!"

"Working with Zachary was an absolute delight. Not only did he take the time to research every character to get their voice exactly right, he also breathed a distinct life into each one. Zach interpreted the voices of one of the characters in a way that I had not envisioned but is now the only way I hear that character because it was so spot-on! His passion, professionalism and preparedness make him an excellent partner in storytelling, and I can’t say enough nice things about him. If you are looking for a narrator to bring your book to life, look no further."

"Working with Zachary Johnson was an absolute delight! He is immensely professional and knowledgeable. He's a dedicated narrator, who will do whatever it takes to bring a novel to life. Having Zach narrate my novels was the best decision I could've made. He made the whole process so enjoyable and painless. My only regret is that I didn't find him sooner"

"It’s my absolute pleasure to recommend Zach Johnson as an Audiobook narrator. I have contracted Zach as the narrator on several of my books over the last five years, and every project has been completed on time (or early), with little to NO changes needed before being released for sale. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Zach and have come to know him as a truly valuable asset to absolutely any production team. He is honest, dependable, and incredibly hard-working His knowledge of audio production and expertise in voice acting has helped to transform my work from the written format to a highly engaging audio presentation. Along with his undeniable talent, Zach has always been an absolute joy to work with. He is a true team player and always manages to foster positive discussions and bring the best out of his projects. Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Zach as an audio content creator of first-tier skill. His work is clean, engaging, and priced at a very reasonable rate. I have used Zach on many projects and will continue to work with him as long as he is willing to work with me."

"The minute I heard Zach’s sample narration, I knew he’d be perfect for Quest of the Dreamwalker—and I was so right. His versatile vocal range and dramatic performance skills far exceeded my expectations. Not only was he able to convey a wide range of voices and accents without dropping character, his expressive reading puts you in the story in a way I only hoped was possible. It’s no wonder I sell more audiobooks than ebooks. As a collaborator, Zach is professional and personable. He handles multiple-narrator projects with confidence, taking it upon himself to make sure the vocal interpretations are consistent. His work shines with enthusiasm and a passion for storytelling. The other projects he has worked on for me have also turned out wonderfully. I highly recommend Zach to anyone who wants a narrator who cares about your story as much as you do."

"Zachary brought my fantasy series The Storm Below to life.
The characters, the story, the excitement, and the danger. His narration was thrilling when it needed to be, emotional at the right moments. He pronounced my impossible fantasy names flawlessly. He made sure I was onboard with the accents, kept in contact with me during all stages of the production, and blew me away with the final product.
If you need a narrator to voice your series, Zachary has an amazing voice. You will not be disappointed."
