Kate Reading is actually Jennifer Mendenhall and freely speaks of it. This is from her Jennifer Mendenhall site "As Kate Reading, she is an audiobook narrator."

[Mara]

Lea, I didn't realize that Kate Reading was a pseudonym for Jennifer Mendenhall. If I did, I must have forgotten. I always thought her name Kate Reading.

I did know that Kate Fleming aka Anna Fields was not Kate Reading. Their voices were very different from each other. Kate Reading is a great narrator. I can't say that I disliked the late Kate Flemings narrations of books, but she wasn't or isn't a favorite of mine

does anyone know if Elizabeth Hart is the same person as Carla Mercer-Meyer?

I loved and audible has the narrator as: Carla Mercer-Meyer
see: http://www.audible.com/search/ref=a_s...

Ambling books has Elizabeth Hart as the narrator. See: http://amblingbooks.com/books/view/se...

I ask this question because I am listeing to and the narrator sounded like the same narrator from Sempre. That's why I started googling both but I can't tell if they are the same person. Help???

[Leslie]

Davina Porter = Violet Primm :) shes only done one under that name Sleeping Beauty by Judith Ivory

[Kristina]

Tristan James and Christopher Johnson are the same voice/person. I think that there may be many other pseudonyms for this guy - a big mystery to me. I'll listen to anything he narrates.

I compared my Vanessa Maroney copy of Jo Beverley's Hazard with a copy of the book read by Anne Flosnik, identical. New one for the list.

I don't think this is the case - they sound quite different.

[Shannon]

I don't think it is the case either. Both are British, but that is where the similarity ends.

So excited to find more books narrated by Amanda Ronconi. She is narrating under the name Rachel Dulude. I'm currently listening to the first book in the Search and Rescue series by Katie Ruggle narrated by her.

[Barbara]

Angie, I went on audible and found no overlap between those two narrators. Are you sure they are one and the same?

I should have looked around first before posting this. I did find a narrator page on Tantor's website with a picture and bio for Rachel Dulude and it's not Amanda Ronconi, you're right. Sorry about that, but her voice is scarily similar. Somebody else, please listen to one of these books by Katie Ruggle and tell me that I'm not delusional. They are so alike. There's even similar snarky humor in the book like in Molly Harper's books so that part is so similar, too. So I would say if you are a fan of AR, definitely check these books out.

hi! can anyone figure out what Pseudonym Saskia Maarleveld narrates under? I've done several with her reading as Saskia Maarleveld but I know ive heard her as someone else and now ill break my head till I figure it out! Any clue anyone? :)

[Micker]

I think Saskia M might also be Molly Glenmore

[Jill]

Does anyone know if Paula Costello narrates under a different name?

[Sonnca]

Does anyone know if Andi Arndt and Elena Wolfe are the same person?

[Jen]

Sonnca wrote: "Does anyone know if Andi Arndt and Elena Wolfe are the same person?"

Yes it is her! Thank you! I'm a big fan of Andi Arndt and I'm pretty excited about this

[Jen]

Susannah Jones and Stella Bloom are the same person

[Shannon]

does anyone know if Julia Gibson has a pseudonym? I am listening the Charlaine Harris's Lily Bard series and I would swear I've heard her voice before. It's bugging me but so far I can't find anything through google.

[Micker]

Does anyone know if Randi Geddens narrates under another name?

[Atira]

What about Lucy Rivers and Amy Landon?!

[Micker]

Justine O. Keef=Nicole Poole

[Micker]

I think Callie Dalton = Shannon McManus

Yes, I think you're right! It took me awhile to figure that one out

[Su]

Don't laugh but just a thought
Sebastain York & Rob Shapiro ??

Both very similar & I love both

I think you are right! Sebastian York is one of my favorite narrators.

Awesomely sexy reading voice for men but doesn't do women's voices worth a shit!

[Julie]

Sebastain York & Rob Shapiro

Even if they aren't the same I have to check out Rob Shapiro... anybody that sounds like Sebastian York is worth a listen!

Thank you! This was driving me nuts! I knew Molly Glenmore narrated "The Address" even though it was a different name. It was driving me nuts!

[Mary]

Hi, folks! Found this thread because I'm listening to My True Love Gave to Me, a YA anthology with many different narrators, and one story is narrated by Shannon McManus. Meanwhile the last audio I listened to was Mariana Zapata's Kulti, which is narrated by Callie Dalton. I was taken aback because I had no idea they were one and the same. So thanks for confirming that for me! :) And I'm a fan of many of the narrators who have been previously shared so I'm grateful to have more of their work to listen to!

I've also discovered a few narrator pseudonyms so you can add a few more to your list:

Johnathan McClain = Tad Branson
Andrew Eiden = Teddy Hamilton
Zachary Webber = Jacob Morgan
Steve West = Shane East (this one ALWAYS makes me laugh!)

[Jonetta]

Thanks, Mary!

Can someone tell me who might be narrating this book? She sounds familiar but I have never heard of Brooke Bloomingdale.

Tracy, your link doesn’t include an audiobook.

[Tracy T.]

Yeah I just noticed that. Here is the audible link.

[Jonetta]

Tracy, I can’t place the voice (she sounds really familiar and GOOD). It’s now bugging me.

I’ll add the audiobook to Goodreads.

[Jonetta]

I’ve added the audio version so your original link will now include it.

I'm currently listening to Pucked, which is narrated by Muffy Newtown. Her voice sounds SO familiar to me, but I can't connect her to any other narrator I've previously listened to. Anyone else know if she has a pseudonym? (or, more likely, if Muffy is the pseudonym?)

Muffy Newton is a pseudonym used by Erin Mallon. According to the post in the attached link, she was doing a lot of YA narration initially so when she began doing erotica, she felt it wise to use a pseudonym for those books, though she doesn’t think there’s a need any longer.

Thank you!! I had no idea!

Hi, I'm a newbie here! I'm especially interested in this thread, and I was wondering if you have actually published a list of narrator pseudonyms?

And, I'm intrigued as to why this phenomenon happens. It would seem to me that narrators would like their fans to be able to find their work in order to more easily develop a following.

[Jonetta]

No, we do not have a published list, just what’s posted here.

I encourage you to read through this topic as the explanations for why a narrator may use a pseudonym are varied and have a basis.

Thanks, Jonetta!

I did read through just a few minutes ago. Interesting topic! I'm very glad to have found a forum about audiobooks, since actual reading, especially long-format reading, has become problematic for me in recent years. Audio has been a godsend for me, and having a place to dish should be fun!

Hi All:

I'm relatively new to audio books and have been recently enjoying listening to Charles Carr. Does anyone know if he narrates under a pseudonym? He sounds a lot like Sebastian York.

[Jonetta]

I can’t find anything on him. I always believed Sebastian York was a pseudonym so I’m thinking not. There’s a similarity in voice but they do sound a little different.

He definitely narrates under another name as well.

[Jonetta]

I just can’t remember it!

[Susan]

I just listened to King, by T. M. Frazier, narrated Rob Shapiro and Molly Glenmore. Some people have stated that Rob is really Sebastian York, but Rob does a much better job with female voices, so I think they are different. Just sayin’.

[Belinda]

I believe Sebastian York is Pete Simonelli
