THE WALL OF WINNIPEG AND ME

Emma Wilder's sensitive narration clarifies Vanessa's complex feelings for her taciturn boss, football player Aiden Graves. Vanessa's disdain and hurt at Aiden's brusque manner are evident as she quits and is wooed back by an unusual proposal. Stephen Dexter voices Aiden and other males in this duet narration. Dexter has a deep voice, and he delivers clipped responses that match Aiden's reserved persona. Dexter's voices for the other players and Aiden's agent are differentiated by accents and varied pacing. Wilder's voicing expresses Vanessa's fascination with Aiden and her desire to be seen and respected. The slow build allows both narrators to develop Vanessa and Aiden's relationship as it inches from business to tentative friendship to soulmates. This appealing progression is well delineated by both narrators. C.A. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2023]
