Hi, I’m Mary
Mary Castillo is a voiceover performer, audiobook producer, and author who collaborates with producers and authors to bring stories to life. She trains to learn new genres, get feedback, maintain vocal health, and create a great listening experience for cozy mystery, clean romance, and nonfiction audiobook listeners.
She is also a multi published novelist. Mary got bit by the voiceover bug when, out of envy, she wanted to bring her novels into audio. Applying her video and film production background to produce the audiobook of Lost in the Light, she wound up winning a listener’s award. Ever since, word has spread among independent authors and publishers, such as Tule Publishing and Penguin Random House, who hire Mary to bring their series and single titles to audio.
At Aspen Institute’s Food & Society program, Mary is a senior program manager overseeing program initiatives, a live webinar series, and the program’s video and social media content. When she’s not in her booth, Mary is exploring hiking trails, fussing over her vegetable garden, cooking new and favorite recipes, or knitting. A new empty nester, (her son is a US Marine Corps recruit–hoorah!), she is excited for this new chapter to reignite her writing practice and continue her Biblical studies while growing her audiobook production and narration.
I’m available to work with independent authors and publishers directly or through ACX & Ahab.
