Ray Porter (Tw: @Ray__Porter; IG: @rayporter_narr8s) spent 18 seasons with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival playing all sorts of roles, including many leads, and has since narrated more than 300 audiobooks (including the Joe Ledger series by Jonathan Maberry), all while still appearing on film, tv, and onstage.
He has multiple Earphones Awards, has been nominated for Audie awards for his narration, and was named Audible's Narrator of the Year.

Post-Shakespeare themes and ideas—very cool stuff, and I'm sure most people are not using this for their classical monologue!
