Voice Arts Award 2026 WINNER! (SOVAS – Society of Voice Arts and Sciences) “Outstanding Audiobook Narration – Faith-Based or Metaphysical, Best Voiceover“

From Wisconsin’s farmland where he was raised, to Manhattan’s skyscraper canyons where his career evolved, Ed has been a lifelong storyteller – initially a news reporter, then an actor (BFA in Theater; study with Herbert Berghof at HB Studio, NYC, and Paul Sills of Chicago’s “Second City”), and later a creative writer (plays, copywriting).  Ed artfully borrows from these backgrounds in sculpting audiobook performances, engaging listeners to hear the author’s “voice” through his interpretation. With 16 books narrated, he’s already won a SOVAS Outstanding Audiobook Narration Award (2026). Ed also is considered a Cognac connoisseur and was honorarily knighted in Cognac, France for his “spirited” expertise..
