I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Jus Sargeant, a multi-talented narrator, linguist, and former English teacher, whose voice brings stories to life in the most captivating way. Jus first came to my attention through the fantasy comedy books of John P. Logsdon and Christopher P. Young, set in the whimsical world of Ononokin.
From little giants to wizards, elves, gnomes, and countless eccentric characters, Jus creates distinct, memorable voices for every inhabitant of Ononokin. His narration elevates the humor, charm, and magic of these stories, making each book a delight for listeners. With over 80 books narrated so far, Jus is fast becoming one of the most exciting voices in the world of audiobooks.
Beyond fantasy, Jus brings his linguistic expertise to education, having narrated multiple language and grammar booksfor German and Spanish speakers, leveraging his experience as a former teacher of English as a foreign language. His ability to educate, entertain, and fully embody characters makes him a rare talent in both literature and learning.
In our conversation, Jus opens up about narrating the Ononokin series, the creative challenges of giving life to multiple characters, and his passion for language and voice work. Itās a fascinating discussion about storytelling, the craft of narration, and the power of voice to transport audiences into imaginative worlds.
Sit back and enjoy this engaging and enlightening chat with Jus Sargeant š§āØ
