| | |  Jim Dale Named Children's Audiobook Narrator of the Year
Jim Dale, the narrator for the U.S. Harry Potter books, has been named by 'Publisher's Weekly' as their 'Children's Audiobook Narrator of the Year.' In a short interview, he had this to say about reading Harry Potter: Quote: You've now completed six Harry Potter recordings, creating a slew of character voices. How do you keep things fresh and energetic, yet somewhat familiar for listeners, each time you enter Harry's world?
Each new book is a whole new adventure, and the reader enters Harry's world raring to go, and so should the narrator. He must bring all the excitement and thrill to the listener to appreciate as the reader would. It also helps to have a great book to narrate.
He is also nominated for a GRAMMY award for his recording of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Quote: Congratulations on receiving your fourth Grammy nomination! What does this particular recognition mean to you?
Every award given to a performer is the result of the very best people getting together and deciding that this actor, or that singer, has excelled themselves this season or year, and this is their way of saying thanks and congratulations. It also makes grandchildren very proud of their ol' grandpa!

Thanks to The Leaky Cauldron for the link!  | |

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

Oh, well he must be good if he's being nominated for a grammy...*snorts and breaks out laughing* I'm sorry I was thinking of Milli Vanilly...or was it Molly Bolony...anyways...
He's probably good if they've kept him this long....so congratulations.

I've listened to him and he is marvalous!!! His voice and the way he makes each character come to life in their own unique way...He just starts with one of his character voices and you instantly know which charcter it is! First time I didn't have the OOTP book and only an audio book...so it was his voice that got me through that adventure! Plus his voice was in the background while I studied for my end of years (Hardcore Potterite!!!)!
Narrator of the year! Congratulations Jim!!! You are really truly deserving of this! Hope he gets that Grammy!  Can you tell I like the guy?
