NO FILTER AND OTHER LIES

Narrator Frankie Corzo's sparkling performance brings just the right amount of gusto and humility to this social-media-savvy coming-of-age story. Corzo's youthful, bubbly voice perfectly embodies Kat--an artistic teenager who creates "Max," a fake Instagram influencer. The more successful Max becomes, the more secrets Kat has to keep from her rowdy male friends and loving grandparents. Kat's large inner circle gives Corzo an opportunity to demonstrate her ability to seamlessly add and remove years from her voice. Listeners will appreciate her smooth delivery of social media elements and emojis, which ramp up as Kat connects with a real-life girl through Max. Corzo provides an emotional and satisfying performance as Kat's misadventure starts to have devastating consequences. J.E.C. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2022]
