GAME CHANGER

Andrew Eiden and Jennifer Jill Araya share the narration of a story about how small choices can have world-altering consequences. Ash Bowman doesn't spend too much time thinking about the larger issues in life until he discovers that his football tackles are shifting reality. Eiden portrays Ash for most of the production as a perfectly pitched football bro: casually careless and self-involved. At a pivotal moment, Jennifer Jill Araya takes over the narration for the same character and manages the tricky transition with ease. Her portrayal of Ash is a natural continuation of Eiden's--but with just enough distinct touches to make her version stand out to the listener. Eiden and Araya create similar tones and styles for the secondary characters as well. N.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2021]
