CLASSICS

The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman 

What a pleasure to listen to your narration, especially while riding the F train. I wanted to say to some of the passengers, hey, if you wanna hear some serious storytelling, listen to this. So by me, number 1: I loved it …in my opinion, you really done good on this. Congrats again–serious storytelling, just the way to narrate dramatic fiction.

Paul Ruben, multi-award winning audiobook director/producer

Totally Engaging! Couldn’t stop listening. I’ve read this story before and thought it was just OK but when I listened to Dawn Harvey narrate, I thought it was fabulous!! She drew me into the story completely! I believed she was the one with the severe mental meltdown! Awesome job!!

Audible Listener 

I love the Yellow Wallpaper. I’ve read it numerous times during high school and college. This is my first time listening to it. Dawn Harvey did an amazing job narrating. I would recommend it to anyone, especially women.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Wonderful revisit of this classic book! It was great to listen to this story again, haven’t heard it since I was a girl. Narrator Dawn Harvey brought the characters to life. I laughed out loud at the Queen of Hearts, and the Mock Turtle. A charming rendition, easily one of the best classics I’ve heard.

CONTEMPORARY FICTION

The Wife by Meg Wolitzer 

There is a true-to-life tension here between husband and wife that is rarely dealt with honestly. Bravo for a searing honesty, read with equal conviction by Dawn Harvey.

Florence Gordon by Brian Morton

[Dawn Harvey] did a good job giving young Emily the “upspeak” lilt appropriate to her generation, and differentiating her from her grandmother, Florence.

Hiding Places by Erin Healy 

Great narrators. Easy, enjoyable, and satisfying listen.

SHORT STORIES AND ANTHOLOGIES

A Manual for Cleaning Women by Lucia Berlin  

…the narrators of this short story collection…slip easily inside the sidelined and marginalized characters who populate these semiautobiographical stories. Berlin’s writing…provides a perfect springboard, and the narrators use it to full advantage: gracefully leaping, twisting, and—when called for—landing with force on the emotional heart of each story.

Audiofile Magazine

The readers were fabulous.

Audible Listener, U’l

These short vignettes of the daily routine, crises, and terrible dilemmas facing working women and their families are narrated beautifully.

SCIENCE FICTION/FANTASY

Outer Diverse, Book One of the Splintered Universe Trilogy by Nina Munteanu

Ms. Harvey did a superb job with the narration. She manages to enthuse the personality of the characters into each voice. The wise, gentle Caw has a soft, strong sound that reminds you of a wise old bird. Shlsh Shle She, a slippery, slimy creature has a slurry, garbled voice like a mouthful of mushy, wet food.  Dawn’s reading conveys the loneliness in Rhea, the sexiness of Serge, the frustrated, friendliness of Bas, and the faithful, coziness of Bennie. She is able to bring emphasis to the action or romance, weariness or fear elements of the story. The narration never takes over the story but rather enhances it.

Martha’s Bookshelf Blogspot

Dawn Harvey was the perfect narrator for this novel as it is all told from Rhea’s point of view. Dawn came across as strong and determined without over playing it. Plus, I like how she says my last name with a variety of epithets. The alien voices were challenging, and Dawn met those challenges with gusto.

Dab of Darkness Book Reviews

My imagination is exploding with the help of Dawn’s characterization of your amazing aliens.

Vanessa, Listener on Goodreads

Dawn Harvey breathed incredible life into the lead character–both sarcastic and vulnerable at the same time; a detective with a cynical edge, and sultry voice tinged with wiry sarcasm. Listening to Dawn Harvey’s performance–she narrated some 30 different alien voices, including the sentient ship of Rhea’s–gave each character an independent presence that had me listening with intense pleasure. She manages to enthuse the personality of the characters into each voice. The narration never takes over the story but rather enhances it. Working with Dawn was a pleasure. Dawn is a dedicated professional; she created unique and consistent voices for the book’s thirty-odd mostly alien characters. She ensured that each character had the appropriate vernacular, tone, accent and cadence. She also tackled the “alien” vocabulary; Rhea’s universe is full of strange and foreign terms. This lady is dedicated to her craft and her art! WHO NEEDS COFFEE WHEN YOU HAVE DAWN HARVEY!

Inner Diverse, Book Two of the Splintered Universe Trilogy by Nina Munteanu 

Dawn Harvey mastered over twenty alien voices including a sentient ship and gave the leading character a sultry edge that resonated with incredible life.

Radiomen by Eleanor Lerman 

After listening to Dawn Harvey’s narration of Eleanor Lerman’s insightful story, Radiomen is likely to leave you never again questioning the imagination or intelligence of seemingly innocuous workers. Through Dawn Harvey’s narration, we meet strangers who with deft dialog address many of the larger questions of life and deliver both answers and more questions in this poetic rendering of contemporary philosophies and social frustrations. The pages are gifted with colorful prose presented in an often haunting and disturbing eloquence. Very good listen, this.

Delicious Danger by Desiree Holt

With her flexible voice and sophisticated performance, narrator Bethany Legare creates a lovely contrast between honey-voiced dog breeder Kelly Monroe and rough-around-the-edges Rick Latrobe.

BIOS AND MEMOIRS

Love in Every Stitch by Lee Gant

 [Dawn Harvey] had a lovely voice that was soothing and emotional at the same time.

Lindsey, Audible Listener

 Dawn Harvey shared Lee Gant’s stories on audiobook. I felt that Harvey’s voice fit very well with the tone of the book. Her voice reminded me of a mother or grandmother sharing a story. … Harvey captured the emotions well.

I loved the narrator’s performance. Her style was perfect for the main character and also for the supporting characters.

Something As Big As A Mountain by Jane Cawthorne

Dawn’s voice is really deep and sonorous and she has a very serious take on this work [which is] appropriate because it is about a big challenge. Dawn can read it better than I can.

REMARKS IN GENERAL

Tanya Perez, Dog Eared Copy: Dawn’s narrative skills are extremely strong on all accounts. She knows how to shape and drive a story, she knows how to handle the straight narrative vs. the dialogue, her character delineations are clear and distinctive (male vs. female; individual) without going over the top and; she is connected to the text both intellectually and emotionally. In addition, she has a pleasant alto-range voice.
