Chuck and Stacey continue the fun and insightful conversation with Kathe

Mazur, TNT Major Crimes’ DDA Andrea Hobbs, and also award-winning

audiobook narrator. She gives sage advice to people wanting to do

narration which means discovering if you love reading out loud, are able

to do accents, have a good ear for tone, character and reading for

clues. She speaks to the challenge of finding subtle nuances of

characters of different genders, ages and ethnicities in order to move

the story forward.

Kathe credits narrator friend Scott Brick for

sound advice he gave her early on that she get a great engineer and

editor to do her books. She explains how her guest star role of DDA

Andrea Hobbs on the TV series The Closer led to a series regular spot on

the spinoff show Major Crimes on TNT, currently in its 5th season. She

shares more about the joy of working with the show’s cast and crew and

that it’s a dream job and character for her to play.

She loves

everything she gets to do for work and believes that your dream career

doesn’t happen until you show up, are of service and make it happen.

Kathe answers what she would do differently if she was starting her

career over now and shares some feedback she got from VO coach, Nancy

Wolfson about her voice.

Kathe expresses some lessons she has

learned over the years from, “Trying to make yourself more, makes you

become less” to “Knowing you are something, know what you want to say

and believe what you are saying.” She tells what happens when people

don’t know how to pronounce her name and gives a beautiful definition of

what success means to her. The final question reveals what Kathe has

lost that she would love to find that deals with the wonder and optimism

for the future. Follow everyone on Twitter @KatheMazur @staceyjaswad
