FAILING UP How to Take Risks, Aim Higher, and Never Stop Learning

Listening to Leslie Odom, Jr., it's clear that he approached the narration of his audiobook with the same attention to craft, preparation, and openness that he strives to bring to all of his projects. He strikes a balance of professionalism and engaging warmth as he relates stories of his road to becoming an actor (including his star turn playing Aaron Burr in HAMILTON: AN AMERICAN MUSICAL) and offers advice for those working in the arts and other creative fields. But anyone can find inspiration in Odom, Jr.'s, story as he touches on struggles and failures, dreams and breakthroughs and shares the hard-earned lessons he's learned along the way. Listeners will be glad to spend time in his company. J.M.D. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2018]
