The Niagara Event

Science fiction & fantasy · Unabridged · 8 hrs 46 mins · Released October 5, 2026

Most never have a Niagara Event, but for those lucky few, it’s a life-changing experience. Lisa and Brooke start university to study the phenomenon and, while Lisa dreams of getting her own Event, Brooke just wants to make her brother happy.

What they discover are underground black markets, shady research organizations, and just how far some will go to be special.

As they’re drawn in, they quickly realize how the madness of Niagara Events can consume you.

The studio

I record in an acoustically treated home booth, then edit and master the audio myself and deliver files that meet ACX requirements. Every chapter is proofed against the manuscript before the author hears it.

About

Male voice, general American accent. I narrate fiction and nonfiction; the demos above include a memoir and a travel book. In a novel, every character gets a voice of their own. I’m also open to character work for video games.

I'm based near Nashville, Tennessee, and available for new projects. Rights holders on ACX can find me there as Ian Kirk; everyone else can email me.

Get in touch

If you're an author or publisher with a book that needs a voice, send me a sample chapter and I'll record an audition.
