Hollow's audio version of Outermost is a
thoughtful, impressive presentation of Beston's timeless book.
The narrator, Brett Barry's voice is warm and inviting.
His smooth narration allows you to see the beach, smell the
salt air and hear the wind whipping through the sand and the
waves crashing against the shore. His voice combined
with Beston's clever and revealing use of words transports
you to the Fo'Castle, where you can actually smell the coffee
brewing on the stove in the tiny kitchen.

Brett
Barry shines as the voice of Beston, a naturalist. Barry’s
narration captures the poetry of Beston's lyrical passages,
in which he expresses views on wildlife and conservation that
are decades ahead of their time. AudioFile
Narrator
Brett Barry's pacing is excellent for the considerable amount
of material the author covers: 75 intense identity groups
who are demanding things that our current social structure
isn't delivering. With a less able reader the listener could
get lost--as the topics transition rapidly and often abruptly.

In
the realm of business books, [Microtrends]
is unique, and fun to listen to. The book is read by Brett
Barry, and his reading helps to enliven some of the more pedantic
sections of the book. Large

Both
the writing and narration of this primer have more than enough
personality to overcome the familiar formula that guides the
Dummies series ... Brett Barry has an enjoyable
"family documentary" voice and adds just enough
of himself to the reading for listeners to know there's a
real person speaking to them. His commitment to helping listeners
benefit from these lessons is apparent start to finish.

Brett
Barry is an effective interpreter of the plain language in
this primer; he has a wonderful sound and doesn't attempt
to make the program more than it is.

Even
when word combinations are clumsy, Brett Barry makes everything
sound smooth and understandable. He handles the authors' attempts
at humor with grace and sounds perfectly in tune with the
program's intentions. Audiofile
I had the pleasure of working with one of the
best voiceover artists I've met in a long time. In addition
to having a warm baritone voice, Brett Barry
understood the script and made the
words meaningful. With perfect timing
and flawless voice inflection, he needed no direction
whatsoever. His delivery was so natural that the
listeners will feel that he's speaking directly to them.
In voiceover work, that's what "Professional" really
means. Audibilities vol. 27,
