VERIDIAN STERLING FAKES IT

Narrator Emily Lawrence uses an energetic voice as Veridian, a recent Rhode Island School of Design graduate who is looking to have her work shown at an art gallery in New York City. Lawrence's voice matches Veridian's flagging optimism after several rejections. She's determined to work as an original artist in New York City, but people are only interested in her ability to reproduce famous pieces. It's a skill she's finally tempted to use after hearing about the impressive finder's fee offered for a lost Van Gogh work. Soon, Veridian finds she's in deep with the wrong people in this perfectly paced adventure. Lawrence's languid tone for hippies is juxtaposed with the sarcastic voices of jaded college graduates. She smoothly transitions among British, New York, and Jersey accents. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2024]
