Audiobooks - Arielle DeLisle

My audiobook work spans 14 years and 170 books so far, working for 4 of the “Big 5” publishers. My vocal range, acting training and years of improv create a wealth of dynamics to pull from in my performance. Over the years, I’ve been busy finding my sweet spots in narration with work in my favorite genres. In 2023, I won IBPA Best Fiction Audiobook for ReInception (YA, dystopian, fantasy,) a title I narrated and fully produced directly for author Sarena Straus. I was nominated for an Audie in 2022 for The Seven Day Switch (humor), I won the Independent Audiobook Awards 2019 Best Paranormal Audiobook for I Was A Teenage Weredeer (campy humor and full of puns), and I’ve won an Earphones Award from AudioFile Magazine.

I love working with indie authors! I work with publishers and producers and also independently produce fully retail-ready audiobooks. Please use the contact form to reach out with information and, if applicable, a link to the book listing online. It’s helpful to have additional information about what’s entailed in the narration (plot summary, accents, dialects, etc), and any deadlines you’re working with.

from AudioFile: If you relish the full Hallmark Christmas experience, sled into the heartwarming stylings of narrator Arielle DeLisle... DeLisle excels at portraying Jenny's evolution from aimless singleton to a self-aware independent woman. DeLisle sounds the right age, and her voice has that cozy touch of holiday wonder. She gives Dom's gravelly voice an indeterminate accent that is both appealing and mysterious. Palace staff and royalty are equally well delineated. DeLisle pumps in high-test holiday spirit, never faltering as she delivers a signature Hallmark experience.

From AudioFile: Narrators Abby Craden and Arielle DeLisle are magnificent as the half-sisters who recount this heartrending family drama. Craden narrates from the point of view of Taisy, the 35-year-old sister who is involved with a broad array of characters, including her twin brother, her boyfriend, and her father. These characters are a tour de force on their own: funny, smart-alecky, and impassioned... DeLisle perfectly captures the other sister, 16-year-old Willow, even delivering occasional minor mispronunciations that sound completely consistent with her character. As Willow’s love interest, DeLisle comes through flawlessly. This is a magical pair of performers.

2019 Independent Audiobook Awards Winner, Paranormal, written by C.T. Phipps & Michael Suttkus

From AudioFile: The first adult book of the Princess Diaries is a delightful journey to the aisle with many twists and laughs along the way. Narrator Arielle DeLisle gives the 11th installment a strong voice that is true to Cabot’s beloved Princess Mia. DeLisle perfectly captures Mia’s feelings as she finds herself being spread too thin in her demanding life... DeLisle recounts Mia’s bubbly optimism, honesty, and unabashed love for—and attraction to—her fiancé in the established “Princess” diary format, which perfectly preserves both the exciting and mundane aspects of being a modern princess.

Arielle DeLisle clearly differentiates the large cast of characters in this audiobook and the rainbow of feelings inherent in adolescent love... DeLisle's narration adds to the story's natural dialogue and honest emotions. She captures Molly's angst, which contrasts with her twin sister, Cassie's, confidence... The diversity of characters and crushes and the many views of individuation are well integrated into the story.
